Well, the obvious angle is CP loss, but how much?

I would translate Wound Level into CP loss directly.

As to how to arrive at wound level.

I would probably calculate "Damage" the same way as any weapon only use Agility vs Agility instead of Strength vs Toughness.

One could also give the net the ability to "Grapple" so that it could be used to hold and throw also.

Also if the goblin nets are weighted like retari nets they'd be ideal for "hooking" also.

Definately realistic.

However, the nets described in the Goblin entiries are not the Roman type; instead, this is a team effort:

two goblins with a tough cord net weighted around the hem with river stones, running up and throwing it like a cape.

The other team of several Goblins with clubs distract the target until the net hits, then swarm in and beat him unconscious.

That way, they get loot, dinner, and a show.

Quite an intersting thought. How about something like this then:

Several Goblins (or whatever) throw the net by pooling their MP. The target can use evasion or blocking (from his CP or if not in combat just from his Reflex I guess). His successes subtract from theirs and represent his getting closer to the edge of the net before it landed etc. Each remaining success of theirs reduces his CP on a one-for-one basis.

You could then allow them to do grapple attacks (using the net) to trip him up, wrap him heavier, etc, while the target could make grappling/evasion rolls to further free himself.
