A grappling hook is generally used for attaching ropes to scale a climbable surface.

Note: Throwing the grappling hook into a specific square requires hitting AC 5. Successfully throwing over a wall or onto a roof (larger than 1 square) requires hitting AC 0.

Throwing a grappling hook directly at a creature will usually not result in the creature being grappled, though some body forms may be automatically grappled or grappled if you hit 5 or 10 above the creature's AC (a giant skeleton might be grappled via the rib cage on 10 above AC, while a shambling mount consisting of rotting vegetation and tangled branches might be automatically grappled).

Grappling normal creatures requires throwing past the creatures and quickly pulling in, inflicting a -8 penalty on the attack roll. On success the target takes 1d4 piercing damage and is grappled.

The grappling hook can also be used as an light melee weapon dealing 1d6 piercing damage.

The grappling hook is usually an improvised weapon, inflicting a -4 penalty to throw or use as a melee weapon.
