Ok GMs and rule-junkies, put your thinking caps on. How should this weapon be ruled? You've got the Net. No problem there. But how to call the +5 enhancement and Flaming?
Questions to consider:
#1 Does the Flaming apply damage on the hit?
The touch attack counts as a hit for many things like splash weapons and touch spells.
#2 Does the Flaming apply automatically each round?
This wouldn't seem to be the case per the rules, but hard to imagine how it wouldn't.
#3 Is the Burst/Escape DC increased?
Magic weapons have higher hardness and hpts, so it would seem to make sense they're harder to break.
#4 If the +5 only applies to attack rolls, are you stuck with paying 50K gold just for an attack bonus with no other benefit?
#5 What if this were a +5 Flaming Snag Net?
I've found 3 other posts concerning similar issues, but most responses in them were conjecture. I'm curious about RAW...or lacking that, RAI. Or lacking that, heck just do the best you can, but please try to keep it rule interpretation and not House Ruling.
1) No it only functions on a normal hit
2) No, it doesn't apply
3) not by RAW
4) Yes, by RAW
5) not by RAW
for nets I do not think the standard rules apply very well, you'd be better off crafting a new (specific) item.
