THROWING
NET, WEIGHTED: Used in a manner very similar
to the hooked throwing net, the weighted
net does no damage
other than entanglement (although sadistic
DMs might want
falling creatures to take 1-2 points of
damage when entangled),
and for this reason is better suited than
the hooked net for
taking weaker creatures relatively unharmed.
To escape from a weighted throwing net requires
one round
with a knife or dagger
and 1-2 rounds without such a tool. Since
the weighted throwing net doesn’t have
any hooks to aid in the
entanglement of the victim, it does not
require any waxing and
can be thrown more quickly (2 rounds instead
of 3), since it is
not so difficult to handle.
