Yeah, so a web grappled PC with a greatsword is basically done for.

As far as "stopping" an opponent, I guess there's a few ways that works / could work?

• Knockback.
• The incoming attacker having to dodge on the way in. Does this stop movement? it make sense that it would, but I can't find a ref easily.
• The incoming attacker being incapacitated on the way in.
