This net exactly resembles a net of entrapment, but it functions only underwater. 

There, it can be commanded to shoot forth up to 3" distance to trap a creature. 

It is otherwise the same as the former magical net.

Net of Entrapment. This magical rope net is so strong as to defy Strength under 20 and is equal to AC -10 with respect to blows aimed at cutting it. (Normal sawing attempts to cut it with dagger or sword will not succeed; it must be hacked at to sever a strand of its mesh.) 

Each net is 10-ft square and has ¼-ft mesh. 

It can be thrown 20-ft so as to cover and close upon opponents; each in its area must save versus magic to avoid being entrapped. 

It can be suspended from a ceiling (or generally overhead) and drop upon a command word. It can be laid upon the floor and likewise close upwards upon command. The net stretches so as to close over an area of up to a 5-ft cube in the latter case. 

It can be loosened by its possessor on command.

Class Requirement. Cleric (Druid), Fighter (Ranger, Paladin), Thief (Assassin)
