Grapple Stab
Classes: Rogue, Duelist, Marauder, Nightblade
When you are grappled while armed with a dagger, stiletto, or similar short, stabbing weapon, you will be prompted to quickly respond to the grapple by stabbing your opponent. You can perform this ability even while prone.
Bonus Effects
Marauder: "Unscrupulous Jab"
So long as you have a free hand and an applicable weapon in an appropriate sheath, you can bring the weapon to bear and stab your opponent during the grapple.
Nightblade: "Mercy Strike"
If the weapon can do so, it always causes an armor chink.
New Combat Ability Suggestion: Grapple Stab
Re: New Combat Ability Suggestion: Grapple Stab
This is just thematically cool in general. The only thing I might change is to give it an extra reroll on the base ability. It should be a bad idea to get that close to a guy who really knows how to use his knife.

Re: New Combat Ability Suggestion: Grapple Stab
3 of the 4 classes that would get this already get some pretty hefty bonus rerolls (depending on the situation), so I'm not sure something like this necessitates it.
