Dithmenos and throwing nets.


Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Dithmenos and throwing nets.

It appears that when you throw a net as a Dithmenos worshipper, your shadow mimic can throw a net too, but there is no point in it doing so as it immediately disappears and cannot trap a monster.

So I'm just suggesting that either a shadow mimic net should be able to trap a monster and only disappear after the monster escapes/dies, or the shadow should not mimic throwing nets, just like it doesn't mimic needles.

Re: Dithmenos and throwing nets.

Would it be too much of a special case for shadow nets to apply an ensared status for just one round?

Re: Dithmenos and throwing nets.

What about making them apply the 'distracted' status guaranteed if they hit?
