T’sai

Similar in design to a light bolas, this hunting weapon is used by the Manra tribes of Chana. A t’sai consists of several three-foot long strips of hide tied together and weighted on their ends by small river-rocks or polished stones. While one ball is held in the hand, the others are whirled, and then the entire weapon is thrown to entangle the target. On a partial success, the t’sai inflicts half damage but does not entangle. On a full success, the thrower can choose to entangle (at STR +1) the target’s arms or legs in addition to full damage; entangling the legs will bring down a running target. On a critical success, the weapon has the added effect of bringing down even a stationary victim.
