You succeed automatically if the target is [[incapacitated]]. If you succeed, you subject the target to the [[grappled]] condition.
* You can release the target whenever you like (no action required).
* When you grapple a creature, you may as a [[combat action]] make a grapple check to attempt a [[Grapple/Actions|grapple action]], to wrestle with it further.
