Grapple critical table

Grapple critical table:

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 damage type.

Notes:

• 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.

LEGEND

• F - Fatal (instant death critical)
