Net

[New Weapon]

A net is a mesh of string, cord or rope.

Rules:

Make a Throwing attack to ensnare the target. Target can use Dodge (either roll or static value) as long they are aware and able to move (so an inanimate object or a stationary, unaware target has Dodge=0)

Attack-Dodge Result
<8 Missed, no effect
9-12 Partially entangled or anyway has to act to avoid the snare: -1D for the rest of the turn
13+ Totally ensnared: -2D to any physical action until freed.


Breaking free:

  • To break by force alone: requires one full round, counts as an action, normal nets have a Soak of 2.
  • Roll brawling damage vs Soak (remember to apply -2D to this due to being ensnared). If the struggling person manages to roll at least 1 pip over the soak, they get free at the end of the round.
  • Note that if the target has a cutting weapon (sword, dagger) they will use that damage (still at -2D) against the net SOAK).

Cost: If you want to track money, cost should be 25% of a Dagger

Damage: No damage per se.
