Grappler guide
Unarmed combat and grabs. A Table A warrior for those who enjoy aggressive, mobile melee.
The Grappler (warrior family, Table A) takes close combat somewhere else: fists, grabs and constant aggression.
Fantasy and role
You are the party's martial artist. Instead of hiding behind steel, you rush in, grab and punish up close. An offensive frontliner that dictates the rhythm in the clinch.
Strengths
- Melee pressure: you force enemies to fight at your distance.
- Aggressive, mobile style: you shine closing gaps without depending on a costly arsenal.
- Good staying power typical of the warrior family.
Watch-outs
- Like any pure frontliner, little utility out of combat.
- Short reach: against slippery or flying foes, you need help to reach them.
Good partners
Recommended combo

FAQ
Is Grappler good for beginners?
Yes. Warriors are among the most straightforward disciplines: it hits hard and endures, though leveling costs more experience (Table A). A good pick for your first adventurer.
Does Grappler need magic?
No. Its strength is direct combat; it combines beautifully with a caster or a support like the Scout.
