My Comments: I feel like this would be a nice addition for an Oath of Vengeance Paladin. Basically, you’d never be able to get away from them. Between Hunter’s Mark, Hold Person, Misty Step, and this cantrip, there would never be any getting away from them. They could move their full move, grab a runner 30 ft away and drag them back 10 ft… Makes for a great bounty hunter and an even better NPC.
