Careful, G&A: you could get run out of town if you keep practicing acts of necromancy like that.

RE: reciprocal grappling, I think Technical Grappling got it right when it showed that the HOLD goes both ways, but the CONTROL does not. I'm not sure how you'd model that in non-Technical grappling, which doesn't distinguish between the two.
