Weapon Master (Bolas, Net, Lariat)
 

These weapons don't really do any damage. Can you think of some alternative benefits to give them for Weapon Masters?

Change each +1 to damage to -1 to the target's DX or ST rolls to get free?

Well, the bolas has listed damage. But that aside, I'd convert the damage bonuses (+1 for skill at DX+1, +2 for DX+2) to benefits in the stat rolls and contests that determine the weapon effects. So someone trying to escape a bolas or net gets a -1 or -2 penalty to their DX-based roll; if they're trying to avoid dropping something after being bolas'd, I'd apply the 1 or 2 as penalties to their ST roll; likewise, someone making a DX roll to avoid being tripped gets a penalty - and so on.

Sounds reasonable. Thanks!
