Grapple

Grappling is a prominent fighting technique in Dragon's Dogma, allowing the Arisen to take on monsters bigger then him and bring them down quickly.

Grappling allows the Arisen to grab, and hold onto, a monster and climb on them, allowing access to previously unreachable weakpoints such as the eye of a Cyclops or the heart of a Drake. Smaller enemies such,as Goblin's and Harpies, cannot be grappled. Instead, they can be picked up and thrown. The distance of their flight, however, depends on the characters strength.
