[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7482445, member: 6803664"] Well, since net launchers aren't a thing (even if you are a rock gnome) unless the DM says they are, then whatever rules apply to them also come from the DM. :) Anyways, you're going to be a rock gnome (3'-4' tall), firing some 18lb modified heavy crossbow contraption (wich is likely nearly as big as you are & about 1/2 your weight), that launches nets big enough to restrain [U]Large[/U] size creatures. And you're going to try & convince me that your attacks should ignore the negative loading & net rules, but not the entangling benefits etc? So that you can spray out ranged vollys of 2, 4, or even 8! nets per 6 second turn?? Ha Ha, Ha Ha Ha. No. You don't get all the benefits + more without some trade off. 1st, count yourself lucky if the DM let's you build a net launcher. Because yes, it is a very tinker gnome thing. 2nd, You're 3-4 tall. Where are you carrying enough nets (each one big & strong enough to restrain a horse) to allow those rates of fire (even once)? You bringing a pack mule? Investing in the variant noble background to get 3 non-com NPCs to act as loaders? And Ok, other than weighing 3lb each in the book, do you know how big a net that could restrain a horse [I]is[/I]? Even if you wrap it up like an umbrella/wad it into a ball? [/QUOTE]
