Default Re: [Basic Set] Collars - grappling at length

The way I handle this in TG is that ropes and poles like this are grapples, and you can do any technique that has a ST default as part of its list. So you can do a takedown with a grapple at a distance, but not an arm lock. You can do Wrench (Limb), and Neck Snap, but not Head Lock. That sort of thing. It shows that there's a lot you CAN do, but the "you need to have the limb positioned in this particular way" that is part and parcel of many close combat skills is precluded.
