Bolas

[Redlaw]

This is a type of thrown weapon, that trips and holds animal or person its thrown at. This would basically stop the target from running and haft to fight its ground.

I'm a bit afraid, that such item would be a bit useless within game mechanic we have right now. Probably aimed like a bow, so almost impossible to use on moving target, while using it on target that's standing still... Okay, might have sense in case of animals, so they won't run away, but would probably need to last long then. Generally, more weapons and different ways to slow down/stop running prey, whether it is animal or player is something we need. Need fast.

Tbh, it's already hard enough to run from pvp under the current mechanics.

I'm wary of adding more, or escape would literally be impossible.

It was mainly suggested for hunting as is. Be fine if it was limited to animals, though seeing a bear get raged and kill the hunter thinking since it cant move it wont kill him, would be funny.

So I came to suggest the addition of Bolas to slow down (or stop for a moment) running animals and people... but after my quick search, it seems someone has suggested it already.

I'll just add my voice to the idea, then. Bolas are cool, primitive weapons often used by ancient world hunters. It could come with 'Hunting' and require some string and two stones. Could be used from inventory - like cups - and so attached to a hotkey. Quality of strings could determine the effectiveness on different animals, balanced in a way that noobs can use bolas on foxes, for example, lesser noobs could use on boars and not so noobs could use on bears.

Bola, meh.

Now, spears, on the other hand...

Spear or Mace, screw bolas.... (Which are native to South America, right?)
