[Basic Set] Collars - grappling at length
I was doing thread necromancy on the Grappling article from Pyramid #3/34 and then thinking through a possible "situation" the character might end up in.
Would a character wearing a collar (on the end of a leash, chain or pole), in effect, be grappled by the neck? Would that then be Control Neck or, in vaguely Technical parlance, your cps are being earned/ applied to the neck for control purposes, ie they'd be using grappling skills, not a flexible or pole weapon technique? Would the collared character then be resisting a Neck grapple, albeit at a distance, and success wouldn't mean the collar was broken, just the leash holder's grip... Would it matter much whether it was a pole or leash? If a comparative bonus were conferred by a pole, would it not also apply to escape attempts? I guess that's what choke chains and inward mounted spikes are about...
