Best books for combat with a Net

[Incriptus]

I just had a consideration about a T-Man with a net tatoo.

Also a magic weapon tatoo is indestructable so that brings up some interesting ramifications for my net ...

I also wonder how we'd feel about a net with wings, the obvious answer is "shame on you, the net comes back but doesn't bring it's entangled target along with it" ... but wouldn't it be cool if it worked otherwise.

I know PFRPG has a gladiator class that can take net. Aybe there is a Rifts gladiator that can too, but o don't recall one.

While it would indeed be cool....I would say that weapons with wings only return the weapon, and not anything else.

I had a player with a gladiator T man who had the net with wings. Basically we just made it so it would return to him when called. It was in play really effective for trapping somebody to entangle them and then he could recall the net at will to throw at somebody else. It returning to you does not bring the target back it just teleports back to your hand.

The unbreakable net is really nice you can have it removed or work to untangle yourself but you cannot just break it or cut it so its guaranteed to take you a few rounds to get free.

I always took wings to mean that it flew back to you really fast, I guess it could port though since `returns`is kinda vague and it doesn`t mention any exceptions like if someone manage to parry-grab the weapon or hold it with a magnet or create a forcefield around it.

I think it was vague for a reason myself. It allows the GM and the players to have fun defining things. Both flying and teleporting are perfectly valid options, and I can see both being used in different tattoos. The various upsides and down sides of the two methods seem to negate each other, and would, IMHO seem to be a good example of the Palladium attitude of "we won't micro-manage your game, so have plenty imagination"

Well I didn't find anything more indepth than the skill in GM guide (although it discribes some signifigant penalties), I'm not certain there is anything more, regardless that should do.

While looking at weapon proficiencies I was also inspired by bolas. I guess my brain wants Tatooed throwing weapons, because throwing weapons have a bad habit of being left behind or lost, and well tats done have that problem.

Q: if I give my MD throwing weapon to my SDC monkey tattoo, does he have any penalties to throw it?

Would people ever know who sent the monkey assassin?

I just had a consideration about a T-Man with a net tattoo.

Also a magic weapon tattoo is indestructible so that brings up some interesting ramifications for my net ...

The concept of the net's use is to entangle (weapon or person) and the wing's concept is to return the tattoo weapon for reuse. There are two choice paths: 1) if something is entangled the net is still being used so the wings will ether stay till it has been disentangled or 2) will draw what/who has been entangled to the T-man.
Will Agree with Eli but the net will stay entangled till the t-man wants his net back.

Note: hand nets like those used in fighting have a leash.

Sounds kind of like if a weapon with a return feature gets caught by the target kind of question.
