Casting Nets

Not to be confused with the percussion instrument. You may cast a net at an opponent instead of grabbing it directly. Any creature Size 4 and smaller can be ensnared in a typical net.

The attacker makes an Attack Roll with the Net Weapon Skill. The defender must make a Dodge roll. If the attacker succeeds, the defender is trapped beneath and considered grabbed.

A combat net weighs about 15 pounds, with small weights around its perimeter, so it's challenging to just shove off. A net can be escaped in one of three ways:

• Cut it off – a slashing Damage Roll greater than 6.
• Tear it apart – a Might check of 15.
• Wriggle from beneath – a Thievery check of 15.
