It gets... might get thrown out the back door of every inn and kitchen each morning. Just walk around offering to clean some kitchens for free for a week and your all set.
McPoyo 01-22-08, 11:21 AM	I'd just say +2, personally. I mean, yeah it's hard to "Grab" someone greased up, but a lot of grappling moves aren't based upon actually holding someone in place with a hand, it's a lot of restraining stuff, body position, and leverage points that don't require "holding" to immobilize someone. Maybe +4, at most.
iserith 01-22-08, 01:07 PM	You can't go wrong with the standard +2. You might also consider throwing some creatures with scent in the area just for fun. An adventurer slathered in bacon grease must be the wet dream of many a slavering monster.
celloshane 01-22-08, 05:02 PM	Don't forget the Grease spell. A character covered in magical grease gets the bonus on escape artist checks.
ravenshrike 01-29-08, 06:06 PM	There's actual rules for it, or perhaps for lard, I forget, in dungeonscape. I think it confers a +5.
