Hi
This is my first post... here goes
Bolas are a pretty nifty throwing weapon and I think it would fit in nicely on icesus.
Depending on your skill they could hit opponent in different areas with different results.
Head/neck: strangle and or stun
Torso: hinder attacks
Legs: hinder attacks (depending on race) and unable to flee
A good description of them is at the following page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolas
But basically they are 2 or 3 balls made of skin with weights sewn inside them, these are on the end of long lengths of cord. You swing them around in the air and let em fly at your opponent! *wham*
That's it

Aim at feet = no more annoying bast... following me out of room while i am reloading/sneaking. I like!
Fairly easy to remove bolas, but would take time away from defense, so would make more sense to say that it would temp. lower defensive ability while they got untangled. (meanwhile, animals would have lots of trouble with this unless they were strong enough to break it, like bears. Some sized creatures, such as elephants, are too big for this to work on at all.
