[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6312414, member: 57383"] They have the same properties as a whip, which includes "treated as a melee weapon with 15-foot reach". I just forgot to change the stats. Come to think of it, perhaps we should include that passage in the Steel Cloth SA? I'd have the damage add 1.5 times its Strength bonus like a two-handed weapon, since that's how garroting weapons work. For the escape difficulty, it should work like escaping the Entangle Weapon ability. Indeed, I'd just refer the reader to that ability. How about: [B]Strangling Veil (Ex):[/B] A Veiled Maidens can make a special entangling attack against an opponent who is denied its Dex bonus to AC. This works like the entangle weapon ability (see above), except that if the attack succeeds, the veil wraps the opponent's throat instead of binding a weapon. The victim is unable to breathe, speak, or cast spells with verbal components while being strangled and takes 1d8+3 damage per round. The opponent can escape a strangling veil using the same procedure as escaping the Veiled Maidens' entangle weapon ability. [/QUOTE]
