Re: Grabbing weapons with Basic Set
Going only off of Basic Set, a grappled body part suffers a -4 to DX to use it, so you'd still be able to strike at -4. In such a case, the advantages of grabbing a weapon rather than just the arm or hand are a) with long weapons you can do it from further away than Reach C (see Striking at Weapons in Tactical Combat, B401) and b) if you succeed at disarming you now hold the weapon, rather than it being on the ground.
