When cast, the spell will instantly cause 5-6 arms to crawl out of the ground and attempt to pull all non-flying, non-friendly targets to the ground. It uses a [[standard maneuver roll]], with the caster getting a bonus based upon their [[Sorcerer Base|sorcerer spell]] ranks, and Aura and Wisdom stat bonuses. Defenders get a bonus based upon Dodge ranks, Agility and Dexterity stat bonuses, but also have a 5% fumble chance. A failed attempt to avoid the arms will result in 3-15 seconds of roundtime, and a knockdown if the target isn't already prone. |

Grasp of the Grave causes 5-6 arms to emerge and immediately attempt to pull all non-flying, ungrouped targets to the ground. Most arms appear as a singular "arm," but there is a 25% chance to get a "pair of arms," which is beneficial to those with Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy training
Grasp of the Grave uses a standard maneuver roll, with the caster getting a bonus based upon their sorcerer spell ranks, and Aura and Wisdom stat bonuses. Defenders get a bonus based upon Dodge ranks, Agility and Dexterity stat bonuses, but are also subject to a 5% chance of fumbling. In addition, defenders get a 1% chance to dodge regardless of anything else. A failed attempt to avoid the arms will result in 3-15 seconds of roundtime, and a knockdown if the target isn't already prone.
After the initial knockdown, the arms will periodically attempt to pull a target down one more time before decaying away. The second attempt compares the caster's sorcerer spell ranks against the target's level to determine success (70 + ((caster 700 ranks - target level) * 7), capped at 99, floored at 5). Affected targets are knocked down and subject to 3-5 seconds of roundtime.
