2nd try grapple feats


Homebrew and House Rules


Trying to get my dm to approve and so far this is what he approved of. I'll get a link for my first attempt later.btw does anyone have any feats designed with grapples in mind.

Body block

1 action
Prereq: master in athletics
You take cover behind the opponent grabbed

You manuver an enemy in your grasp into oncoming damage. Make an athletics check against an opponent you have grabbed vs fort dc. If successful you gain the benifit and drawbacks of raising a tower shield if same size as you a regular shield if smaller. This is treated as maintaining a grapple.

1 action
Take cover (for clarity sake)

Meat shield
Prereq: body block
Reaction
When you take damage, and have a creature grabbed using the body block feat, you may put them in front of the damage and sparing you some. Roll an athletics check vs the creature's fort dc.

Critical success: the creature takes your level in damage (not to exceed the original damage dealt by the triggering effect) and you reduce the damage the same amount
Success: target takes half your level in damage (not to exceed the original damage dealt by the triggering effect) and you reduce the damage by the same amount.
Crit fail: the grab ends

Drag skill feat 5th
Prereq: expert in athletics
Traits: skill
You gain the drag action.
As you gain mastery in athletics the distance you can move increases. At master you can move 5ft further and at legendary you can move 10ft further. When you use the drag action you are considered to have made a successful grapple check

Drag 1 action
Traits: attack move
Prereq: must have someone grabbed already

You drag your foe with you as you move. Attempt a athletics check against an opponent you have grabbed fort DC.

Critical Success Your foe dragged with you. You both move up to 10 feet in the same direction, remaining adjacent to one another. Your movement doesn't trigger reactions from the target (and the target's movement doesn't trigger reactions because it's forced movement).
Success As critical success, but you both move only 5 feet.
Failure The foe doesn't follow your steps. You can move 5 feet if you choose, but this movement triggers reactions normally.
Critical Failure You stumble, falling prone in your space.

Not sure of levels but body block and meat shield would be on classes that already support grappling already
