Ranged Drag Question


Rules Questions


I couldn't really find a rule for this so I'll ask here.

If you used a lassoe on someone and then proceeded to attempt to drag them, would you just use a standard drag check to see if you could pull them toward you?

Only reason i ask is because the drag rules state that it's for dragging someone behind you as you move across the battlefield and not for dragging someone towards you from range.

Thanks!


Unless the lassoe is a specific weapon for that purpose, I'm guessing the CMB would probably take a -4 nonproficiency penalty (with the proper weapon proficiency removing that penalty.)

Just a guess though.

EDIT: note though, that once you've successfully caught someone in a net/lassoe, if you were going to drag them at range by moving yourself (So the distance between you and the target remains the same) I wouldn't apply the penalty.


If you got your rope around an non-willing target then I would say more likely you'd be making opposed strength checks, possibly opposed CMB/CMD checks, to drag them to you.
