Ghost touch enchant on a Net


Rules Questions


Normally the weapon enchant Ghost touch works only on melee weapons.

A net is a ranged weapon.

The 'Net Adept' - feat makes you treat the net as a melee reach weapon.

Net Adept (Combat)
You have trained to use the net as a melee weapon.

Prerequisite: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (net), base attack bonus +1.

Benefit: You can treat a net as a one-handed melee reach weapon with a 10-foot reach. Further, you take no penalty on melee attack rolls for using an unfolded net, and you can use one full-round action or two move actions to fold a net.

Normal: A net is a ranged weapon that imposes a –4 penalty on ranged attack rolls if it is unfolded. Folding a net takes a proficient user 2 rounds.

Would you then be allowed (PFS, rules as written!) to enchant the net with Ghost Touch...or not?

Thanks!


No.

Being able to use it as a melee weapon, does not make it a melee weapon.

For non-PFS events I think most GMs ignore the restriction to melee weapons for Ghost Touch, as the ghost touch net is a rather ingenious solution to the problem.

But the net is classified as a ranged weapon. And thusly, not eligible.


Clear! Thanks!
