This has been coming up in a game I am in and we are looking for a solution.
White-Haired Witch states that the witch does not gain the grappled condition.
Under the If You Are Grappled section it states that if you are grappled and make your combat maneuver check or escape artist check you can break the grapple Alternatively, if you succeed, you can become the grappler, grappling the other creature.
The witch is stating that because they are not grappled when someone break it they can only chose the option to release.
Is this the case or does the character breaking the grapple still have the option to become the grappler and give the witch the grappled condition?
Thank you.
