Hey guys, am I mistaken or is there a feat/class feature that lets you use INT to Grapple, instead of STR?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

Why?

 

It's always good form to provide context, so that our answers don't give you something you can't use. 

 

Without context, all I can do is supply this. The only solution I can think of (it's there, btw) is Factotum 3, but there might be some more convoluted ways to achieve it by daisy-chaining obscure abilities together.

There is no context, another Player and I were discussing Grappling last night, and I thought I remembered an item or feat or ability that added INT to Grapple. I tried googling it, but couldn't come up with anything, so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks for the LINK btw. It is very useful. I found an Item there that adds CHA to Grapple, that may have been what I was thinking of, though I'm sure there was a feat or something called smart wrestler, or somthing like that.

Anyway, thanks again.

Cheers.

Grappling does include Strength as an ability score, but it's definitely more like an attack roll, rather than an ability check, hence its inclusion of the Base Attack Bonus.  Despite using Strength and being called a grapple check, it isn't actually stated to be one (or even similar to one) under the basic rules.

It could be argued that it's only said to be "like" an attack roll, though page 60 of the Rules Compendium describes the significant difference a little more closely:
