GRAPPLING LARGER OPPONENTS
When a successful grapple check is made against an opponent who is two or more sizes larger, the opponent does not gain the grappled condition. The attacker may still inflict damage as long as they are able to maintain the hold.

When an larger opponent does not gain the grappled condition from a smaller grappling attacker, he can choose to take a move action normally, but the weight of the grappling attacker is applied towards encumbrance.

If eight attackers are involved in a grapple with an opponent two sizes larger, the opponent is considered to be one size smaller for the purpose of being able to gained the grappled condition (and for being pinned).

If sixteen attackers are involved in a grapple with an opponent three sizes larger, the opponent is considered to be two sizes smaller for the purpose of being able to gained the grappled condition (and for being pinned).

An opponent four or more sizes larger than the smallest attacker cannot be effectively grappled.


GRAPPLING SMALLER OPPONENTS
When a successful grapple check is made against an opponent who is two or more sizes smaller, the attacker does not gain the grappled condition. In addition, the attacker can maintain the grapple using only one hand (at the normal +5 modifier). If using two hands, the check is made at an additional +5.
