Deed

Defeat 3 Sabre-tooth. The line is for hauling down what leaps. Sigrid teaches it once you have brought down three sabre-tooths, the leapers of the north.

What it does

Cast a grapnel on a sinew line (the band's tool, always with you; nothing is taken from the pack) up to 7 tiles. It bites the first foe it touches for 2.6x your weapon's roll, 1 gash, stagger 20, and hauls: an S or M body is dragged to 1 tile in front of you over 0.3 s (it can't act while dragged; a wall stops it there). An L body, a mount, a rider or a sentry hauls you to it instead (a BodyMoves dash to 1 tile of it, 0.3 s, 0.15 s untouchable). Trees, rocks and walls catch the line: no bite, and half the cooldown comes back. A fresh HitSpec.
