(Mods, feel free to move this diversion to the GCA forum.)
Yes, you could edit DX and add a mode to support 'grappling,' but I'd suggest adding a new attribute instead, much as Kick and Punch have attributes to support their attacks. (Admittedly that requires using a data file, but it's available to all characters that way.)

I suggest that primarily because editing DX to get an attack mode means that the attack may well show up on sheets (and QuickView) named 'DX' instead of as the 'grappling' mode that you add, and that's not really desirable.
