Cities of Sundara: Silkgift introduces the net caster, a weapon used by the City Watch to fire a net at creatures in order to restrain them. Here are two new rounds that can be purchased for the net caster.

Steel Mesh Net Round

Cost: 30 gp; Weight: 6 lbs

The steel mesh net round for a net caster fires a net similar to other rounds, but is made from woven steel. It is stronger than even an archer net round, but is also heavier. A steel mesh net round requires a DC 17 Strength saving throw to burst. The net has 19 hit points, hardness 5, Resistance to piercing damage, and immunity to bludgeoning damage. These nets can be reloaded into their rounds in the same way as a standard net round, unless they are broken; however, they take 30 minutes to reload. Steel mesh net rounds are rarely used, as they are not significantly stronger than an Archer net round, are more expensive and the increased weight decreases the range increment of a net caster to 10 feet. Their primary use is to make shocker net rounds, detailed below.

Shocker Net Round

Cost: 60 gp; Weight: 7 lbs

The shocker net round for a net caster uses a steel mesh net round as its base but is electrified through the use of a shocker attachment. They have all the other stats of a steel mesh net round, including the decrease in range increment, but when a target is hit by a shocker net round, they must make a DC 8 Constitution check or be stunned for 1d3+1 rounds from the electricity coursing through the net. Though a shocker net round can be reloaded into their rounds in the same way as a steel mesh net round, unless they are broken, without replenishing the shocker attachment that generates the electricity, they function just like a normal steel mesh net round. Creating the shocker attachment requires a DC 18 Intelligence check, as well as access to either alchemist’s supplies or a tinker’s tool kit, and costs 40 gp (included in the price of a purchased round).
