Does a shield bash/check constitute iniating grappling on an opponent? When I fight with a spear/polearm I carry a dagger as a side arm and I am in armor. Generally as people come inside of my range I may grab their shield and shank'em for their shoes. SO I guess an inverse question, did I illegally iniate grappling against an unarmored opponent or is a shield grab grappling at all? Thanks.
Well since I cannot reply I will edit. I kind of thought it a grey area since you can 'control' a person's movements by hucking their shield around (strap of course)
