Can the various net feats be used with the Snag Net?

Would a proficiency with Nets give you proficiency with Snag Nets?

Does the Snag Net count as a Net for any other purposes?

Grand Lodge

No one?


It's a net, isn't it? I'd say that's al there is to it.

Grand Lodge

Can they be utilized by the Net Adept, Net and Trident, Net Maneuvering, and Net Trickery feats?


The net pretty much says outright it uses the exotic weapon prof for nets. So I cannot see why it wouldn't be usable with the feats.

Grand Lodge

Well, the fact that it does 1 point of piercing damage, and is a melee weapon and a thrown weapon, makes it capable of being enchanted in ways that the common net cannot.
I like it, but wanted to be sure.

Does it count as a god's favored weapon, if their favored weapon is the net?

Can you crit with the Snag Net? If so, what's the multiplier?

Does it count as a piercing weapon for the purposes of feats and abilities?

Grand Lodge

If I were to add the Guided enchantment, would I apply my wisdom to damage?

Grand Lodge

Can I use Power Attack, or Deadly Aim with a Snag Net?

Grand Lodge

Can the Net, or Snag Net benefit from the Flaming enchantment?

Grand Lodge

Can the Snag Net be used with the Hamatula Strike feat?

Grand Lodge

I guess not many have experience with Nets, Snag Nets, or the various Net feats.

Has anyone had experience with these things?

It has "net" in its name. It's clearly a net. Things that apply to nets apply to it.

Grand Lodge

Well, the biggest differences, are that the Snag Net can be used as a melee weapon, and it deals 1 point of piercing damage.

This adds possible complications in rules understandings.

This is the most amazing thread.

From the link BBT provided for the Snag Net:
"A snag net works like a typical net exotic weapon, ..."

So it works like a net.

"except it has the trip weapon special feature."

So it works like a net with trip. That is the difference.

The remainder of the weapon description describes how to use the trip feature. Doing a point of damage can be done on a successful trip combat maneuver in lieu of actually tripping (or can be used to do damage to an already tripped opponent)

Grand Lodge

Bit necro'd huh?

Well, the Net feats are now a bit more useful.

Nets are freakin' cool.
