Description
The Grappler Class is a formidable combatant among the BETA ranks, and also the most numerous, more so than even the Tank Class. Its large, fleshy, tailless scorpion-like body is equipped with two hyper-dense claws, enabling it to block most incoming damage from the front, as well as stabbing through most armor and material. It is one of the only known strains that actually burrows, so it is theorized that it is responsible for the maze-like tunnel networks under each Hive. - Ambusher: The Grappler Class has advantage on attack rolls against any creature it has surprised. - Burrower: The Grappler can burrow through unworked earth and stone. While doing so, it leaves a 90-foot-diameter tunnel in its wake. - Frontline Defense: The Grappler Class’s dense claws provide significant protection from the front. It has resistance to all damage from attacks originating from the front. However, it has vulnerability to all damage from attacks originating from the rear and sides (and above).
