Take the tour ×  Grasping Weapon  You can use this weapon to
grab targets, adding the weapon's enhancement bonus to your grab
attack. You can still use this weapon to attack a target you’ve
grabbed with it.  How does it affect the rules when on a weapon
with reach?  Is it possible to grab somebody who is not
adjacent?  If it is, can the holder of the weapon shift closer
to his target?  share|improve this question add comment  1
Answer  up vote 7 down vote accepted  Is it possible to grab
somebody who is not adjacent?  If your natural melee reach is 1,
then No. GrabDDI explicitly states that you don't have to count
the extra reach of a weapon, while a Grasping WeaponDDI doesn't
define any exception to this rule.  This is somewhat reinforced
by the Grasping Weapon encounter power:  Power (Encounter): Free
Action. Use this power when you hit with the weapon. Pull the
target 1 square into an unoccupied space adjacent to you. The
target is grabbed (until escape).  It first pulls the target
within melee reach in or
