Yeah, I'm thinking Stretching w/ the lasso as well. Variable STR, as mentioned, strikes me as realistic enough--one needs strength to effectively hold and control a "roped" person. I'll try it out and see how it works. Thanks for all the great tips! -d.

Hi everybody, I'm just getting into the HERO System and am planning on running a mini-campaign featuring the PCs as gladiators in Ancient Rome. I've got a handle on combat, maneuvers, etc. What I'm interested in is anyone's take(s) on lariats and nets as combat weapons. Being a HERO noob, I'm still acquainting myself with the powers system and I'd like to see other peoples' examples of building weapons with powers. I'm thinking Entangle as a base, then what? Would Grab (like with the whip) be better for lariat? Any online or print sources would be welcome as well. Thanks in advance! -David
