Grappled at Reach 1

The entire nonsense surrounding Close Combat is... nonsense.

There is no justification for not being able to use longer Reach weapons just because you are in a CC (Grapple follows the Close Combat rules, which is where this nonsense originates).

Okay, hang on. There is one justification, that is that you are fighting in close against a foe who is in Close Combat with you... however... as you've shown, that is not always the case.

I've already house ruled this one to use rules from outside of DFRPG, specifically from GURPS Martial Arts (Long Weapon In Close Combat pg 117).
