Barbed (Throwingg) Nets - Damage Questions

Post by ragbasti » Thu Mar 11, 2021 8:52 am

A few questions concerning Barbed Nets:

1. Am I right to assume that the 2 Damage enemies take when they fail to beat the Entangling difficulty ignores armor?
2. Can these nets be forged?
3. If yes, does the Forging only affect the Damage test of actively swinging these nets at enemies or does it also affect the 2 Damage to entangled enemies?

The barbed version of the net is not in the players guide. Where is it described?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Enhancing a weapon only increases the damage step. Since the 2 damage caused by failing the entangling test is not a step, it can't be enhanced.

Thanks for the answer but since I posted this one of my players has dug up a post by Panda in the Discord that it's actually Step 2 and it's reduced by armor when they fail to escape. (https://discord.com/channels/3285458469 ... 0149983263)
That leaves the Forging question still open and probably some need for a clarification in the errata.
