Lasso Question

[JohnPaulB]

This comment still deals with Lasso, but not the original post.

If you cast Rope Spell (lasting 12 turns) and use it as a Lasso (if you have the talent), does that give you both the spell capability and the talent capability?

That seems to be a very effective concept.

I don't think the rope created by the Rope Spell is actually one you can use as a regular rope, it writhes and tangles about its victim, and I'm not even sure it can be cast on an empty hex.

That said, I wish to all the old gods there was a "Summon Piece of Rope" spell for when everyone in the party has forgotten to bring one. The ST cost could vary by length.

Thank Evil Stevie that Lasso is an Unusual Weapon and hence not covered by Summon Myrmidon!

But it won't stop you from creating an illusion of a fighter with a lasso.

You can't climb that rope that isn't there.

I agree. But the illusion can still choke someone with it.

Oh, and the illusion can climb up the rope. It just cannot leave it as it must be touching the rope at all time since they are both part of a single illusion.

I guess Summoning Myrmidon looking like Indiana Jones with a whip and gun is out of the question now. But I agree and see the point about this. My brain was stuck with regular meaning the weapons and armor can't be fine or enchanted.
