reworked article and placed block on old rating.

|reason=This is pretty bad from a balance point of view; it has close to the power of a net, without any of the net's downsides. At the very least, limit this at 1 per action like how nets work. Also, bolas would probably wrap around one leg of a large creature, given their legs are twice the size of medium creatures, so it probably wouldn't work on them either.

Bolas: 5gp; 3lbs; finesse, light, range 20/60
: To Ghostwheel's points - The intent was to make it similar to, but distinct from a net. It does damage, but does not restrain (only grapples). But I take your point about the size, but a bola should be no more difficult to use than a sling (less since you don't have to load it). I will consider a change about the size. --[[User:Rlyehable|Rlyehable]] ([[User talk:Rlyehable|talk]]) 23:23, 12 August 2019 (MDT)
: To 172.58.45.204 suggestion - A little too complicated IMHO. DC 18 check seems far to high. --[[User:Rlyehable|Rlyehable]] ([[User talk:Rlyehable|talk]]) 23:23, 12 August 2019 (MDT)
:I have reworked the article. I have removed the {{srd5lc|Light Weapon}} and {{srd5lc|Versatile}} properties. I have changed the automatic {{srd5lc|Grapple}} on a hit to a Dex saving throw to avoid the effect. I have kept the target size of {{SRD5|Large}} or smaller because traditionally bolas have been used on cattle (which are large creatures). --[[User:Rlyehable|Rlyehable]] ([[User talk:Rlyehable|talk]]) 09:15, 13 August 2019 (MDT)
