'''Grapple [[critical table]]:'''

Spells, such as the [[ranger]] spell [[Tangleweed (610)]], the [[Minor Mental]] spell [[Thought Lash (1210)]] and certain creature attacks will inflict grapple [[critical]] injuries. Grapple criticals, which are similar to [[Unbalance critical table|Unbalance criticals]], are characterized by their ability to potentially knockdown and stun the target. However, the resulting critical injury levels per critical rank are one of the weakest of any [[Critical tables|damage type]].

Notes:
*Some of the stun round lengths may be slightly inaccurate.
*Damage values are CS-based and also apply to grapple flaring weapons.
*R6 R/L EYE messaging indicates target falling face first but there is no associated knockdown.

== LEGEND ==
*A - Amputation (limb loss)
*F - Fatal critical
*K - Knockdown
*K? - Unconfirmed
*'''''NK''''' - No Knockdown
*R - [[Injury]] level (rank 1, 2 or 3)
*S - Stun w/number of rounds
*x - Unknown stun round

*Unconvincing strike.
*Weak blow.
*Ineffectual strike.
*Impotent blow.
*Barely touched.
