'''Grapple [[critical table]]:'''


Spells, such as the [[ranger]] spell [[Tangle Weed (610)]], the [[Minor Mental]] spell [[Thought Lash (1210)]] and certain creature attacks will inflict grapple [[critical]] injuries. Grapple criticals, which are similar to [[Unbalance critical table|Unbalance criticals]], are characterized by their ability to potentially knockdown and stun the target. However, the resulting critical injury levels per critical rank are one of the weakest of any [[Critical tables|damage type]].

Spells, such as the [[ranger]] spell [[Tangle Weed (610)]], and certain creature attacks will inflict grapple [[critical]] injuries. Grapple criticals are characterized by their ability to potentially knockdown and stun the target. However, the resulting critical injury levels per critical rank are about the weakest of any [[Critical tables|damage type]].


Notes:
Notes:
*Some of the stun round lengths may be slightly inaccurate.
*Damage values are CS-based and also apply to grapple flaring weapons.
*R6 R/L EYE messaging indicates target falling face first but there is no associated knockdown.


*Some of the stun round lengths may be slightly inaccurate.
*Missing all of the rank 9 criticals.
*Since the information in this table was initially derived from [[Tangle Weed (610)]], knockdowns have not been included in status effects.

==Rank 0 Critical Messaging==

With the exception of the R/L eyes, the Rank 0 critical messaging does not include specific body location references. It is, therefore, not possible to place them in the appropriate sub-tables.

===Messaging===

These are the Rank 0 messages in no particular order.

*Unconvincing strike.
*Weak blow.
*Ineffectual strike.
*Impotent blow.
*Barely touched.
*Low grazing shot.
*Try thumb wrestling.
*Lame attempt.

Latest revision as of 20:25, 20 October 2023

Note: criticals from UCS GRAPPLE attacks are discussed at Grapple critical table (UCS); this page concerns the similarly-named "grapple" flares/damage.

Grapple critical table:

Spells, such as the ranger spell Tangle Weed (610), the Minor Mental spell Thought Lash (1210) and certain creature attacks will inflict grapple critical injuries. Grapple criticals, which are similar to Unbalance criticals, are characterized by their ability to potentially knockdown and stun the target. However, the resulting critical injury levels per critical rank are one of the weakest of any damage type.

Notes:

  • Some of the stun round lengths may be slightly inaccurate.
  • Damage values are CS-based and also apply to grapple flaring weapons.
  • R6 R/L EYE messaging indicates target falling face first but there is no associated knockdown.

  • A - Amputation (limb loss)

  • K? - Unconfirmed
  • NK - No Knockdown
  • R - Injury level (rank 1, 2 or 3)
  • S - Stun w/number of rounds
  • x - Unknown stun round

  • Unconvincing strike.
  • Weak blow.
  • Ineffectual strike.
  • Impotent blow.
  • Barely touched.
  • Low grazing shot.
  • Try thumb wrestling.
  • Lame attempt.
