Strong Grip

The muscles in the character’s hands become stronger. This is particularly useful when wrestling with someone or doing something else that requires a strong handhold.   Type: Minor positive.   Effect: The character receives a +2 bonus on all grapple checks, as well as on all skill checks in situations where the strength of the character’s grip is an issue. It does not provide a bonus on efforts to gain leverage, lift heavy objects, and the like, but it does enhance efforts to climb safely, to hold onto a rope or lasso in slippery circumstances, and other tasks where there’s a risk of losing hold of something. This includes resisting disarm attempts (the +2 bonus applies to the character’s Combat Manoeuvre Defence in this case).   The character also receives a +1 bonus on all damage rolls from natural attacks made by the character against opponents is grappling.   Biotech: Implant, Graft.
