Hands-Free Grapple (Manipulation)
You force your victim's arms to her sides and use your knees to keep them there. With your arms free, you then proceed to retrieve your rope from your backpack...Prerequisites: Improved Grapple, BAB +5, Unarmed Mastery class feature or Str 16 and Dex 15 or KickmasterBenefit: When you are grappling a creature, you may make a grapple check as an attack action to reposition yourself. If you succeed, you begin grappling the creature with your legs or some other appendage normally not suitable for grappling, leaving you free to use your "primary" appendages (like your hands) for other purposes, such as tying the creature up, casting a spell with a somatic component, or simply attacking your victim with any weapon you please, even a two-handed one. You may also use your legs or another non-standard appendage for pinning a creature in the same fashion.
This skill trick may be used any number of times in an encounter.
Special: The "Unarmed Mastery" class feature refers to being able to make unarmed attacks interchangably with any appendage, including hands, elbows, knees, and feet. Examples of classes with this class feature include the monk, the Viewtiful Warrior, and the Saiyan Warrior.
