[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2401106, member: 17296"] I... err... um... Well, see, the thing is, the bola is a ranged weapon. It does have a certain tensile strength, yes, I assume that. However it does not use the throwers strength at all. Therefore in an arguement that states you would need the force (strength) to bring him down, the only viable source of that strength would be the item itself. Perhaps you don't know what a bola actually is. Without going into details, it's a device that you throw at someone, sort of like a tanglefoot bag, that wraps around their feet and locks those feet together. The only strength involved would be someone trying to break the bonds... which could be interpreted as an opposed strength check, but then you'll have to assign a strength to the bola, not take the strength score of the thrower (as for common sense, that actually does make a good bit of sense, although it potentially makes the bola too powerful.
