With a quick grab from behind, you cause your enemy to lower its defenses, allowing you to land a deadly blow even as they struggle to break free.

At-Will   ✦     Martial, Weapon
Standard Action      Melee 1

Requirement: You must have a hand free and use this power with a light blade.

Target: One creature

Attack: Dexterity vs. AC

Hit: 1[W] damage, and the target is grabbed until the end of your next turn. While the grab persists, the target grants combat advantage, and it takes a -2 penalty to its first escape attempt. If you make a melee weapon attack against the target before the grab ends and your assassin's strike is not expended, you can use that power against the target even if the attack misses.
    Level 21: 2[W] damage.

Sustain Minor: The grab persists until the end of your next turn.
