[QUOTE="Sepulchre, post: 8951943, member: 7033220"] Sorry if I wasn’t clear. In O5e, a net is a ranged weapon because it is on the ranged weapons table. As far as I can tell, every other weapon with the thrown property in A5e is a melee weapon. The net in A5e was moved to the “miscellaneous table,” along with two melee weapons, the garrote and the lance, and the spear thrower, which has the range and loading properties. If I did not have a prior about the net from O5e, I would think it was a melee weapon with the thrown weapon property. Heck, I think that is probably the best reading RAW. Adding support is the fact that the O5e dart was changed from a ranged weapon with the thrown property to a ranged weapon with the ranged property. The thrown property in A5e is (I believe) exclusive to melee weapons. My question is whether the intent was to make the net a melee weapon, or whether the net is supposed to function like the old O5e net despite the changes. [/QUOTE]
