Bolas, whips, lassos and nets all need to be revisited.

I couldn’t agree more!

I'd be happy with just official errata. I don't think a handful of thrown weapons warrant a new edition!

Looking over your initial contribution to that thread, I think you've fixed bolas about right. I wasn't keen on all of the fixes last time I read it -- particularly the wide lane needed for a bola -- but I've come around.

Yes an errata would be ideal!

And while I do like what I came up with in the previous thread, I don't like playing with modified rules. It leave room for others to complain or suggest tweaks.

No, but there are several other things that could be clarified, tightened up, or improved that, along with the subject at hand, could justify one.
