[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7582801, member: 6987520"] How silly... As a player hit by the net why would you even ask "How much hp do I lose" when you know a net doesn't deal damage. And the DM would respond: Nets don't do damage, their effect is that you are restrained. Why are you writing down anything about your hp? When hit by a Darkness spell do you write down anything about your hp? When that Roper's Tendril attack hits do you write down anything concerning your hp? No (or at least I hope you don't). Maybe anytime anything happens to your characters you erase your hp and write it down again. Strange behavior, but if that is what makes your day... You might as well stop, no one is going to say what you want because we all understand "-" means nets don't deal damage, not that they deal "0" damage. Your basic argument is that because the outcome is the same, the effects are. Your way someone who has a way to modify damage (say with SS) can argue that the -5/+10 means a net should do 10 damage. It could also be used in Sneak Attacks, should add the Dex mod to damage, and so on. My way none of those things are applicable because nets don't deal damage in any way, shape, or form. There is no "0" to modify through other features of the game. [/QUOTE]
