Gladiator with a net

[Dukan]

I'm starting out a new character that will follow the Net and Trident Gladiator type. His current feats are Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Net, Performance Weapon Mastery, Two Weapon Fighting, and Weapon Finesse. My question is: After he throws his net (and misses) how long does it take him to retrieve it before he can throw it again? I'm thinking probably 1 full round and he would be subject to attacks of opportunity during that round. Thoughts?

Manipulate an Item
Moving or manipulating an item is usually a move action.

This includes retrieving or putting away a stored item, picking up an item, moving a heavy object, and opening a door. Examples of this kind of action, along with whether they incur an attack of opportunity, are given in Table: Actions in Combat.

Bolding my own.

So you'd have to move to the net and then spend a move action to pick it up.

Definitely an AoO.

Happy netting!

Nets also have a negative on attack rolls after the initial throw. You need to spend time to retold the net to remove those negatives.

Edit: -4 on attack rolls and 2 rounds to refold it if you're proficient. 4 rounds if you're not proficient.

Thanks for the comments. I decided to drop Weapon Finesse and pick up Net Adapt instead. Good thing. We started Burnt Offerings in Rise of the Runelords and Spar the gladiator had quite a few net throws, misses, retreivals, and re-throws. He made the important ones though (aided once by the party wizard, Uzas and his animate rope spell). Now off to Thistletop with a freshly sharpened trident...
