Nets are tools used to capture or retain things. Their open structure provides lightness and flexibility that allows them to be carried and manipulated with relative ease, making them valuable for methodical tasks such as hunting, fishing, sleeping, and carrying. They can also be thrown, launched, dropped, or deployed as traps to entangle opponents in combat or as a defensive measure.

Basic nets can cost anywhere between one and twenty gold pieces.

Variants

• Force nets are magical nets of silver with ghost touch properties that allow them to entangle incorporeal beings.
