[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 7247577, member: 6787503"] Does anyone in your group like to turn invisible, lurk in darkness, or attack from hiding? They won't have disadvantage if the target and any other hostile creature within 5 feet can't see them, and the target's within a normal range of 5 feet. Imposing the Restrained condition is a powerful ability. Personally, I'd give a magic net a +1 to hit, but raising its DC, AC, and hit points sounds good too. Good point! Jeremy Crawford has tweeted that the pike was considered "too unwieldy" for the feat's benefits. There was a longspear in the play-test. It did 1d8, was two-handed, and had reach. The spear, on the other hand, lacked the versatile property and only did 1d6. By adding versatile to the spear, I believe the intent was to combine it with a slightly shorter longspear while reserving reach for the heavier pike. [/QUOTE]
