This episode includes my quick and dirty rules for fighting manoeuvres in OSR games:

• Roll your attack as normal.
• If you hit, the DM will cut damage dealt in half or down to 0.
• The effect goes through.

In the case of grappling, the target cannot move or use a weapon bigger than a dagger until they make a save to break free,

If they cannot break free they become pinned and helpless until they are released.
