DeWayne 01-26-05, 12:27 AM	I’ve got a situation where it’s important that the bad guys capture rather than kill. Given the over all situation, I think they will be using bolos. Does anyone have gaming stats for these things? Or know where I can find them? Thanks

The description of bolas says that you make a ranged touch attack and if you hit, the target must succeed on a Dex or Str check opposed by your Str check or be tripped. I assume that the 1d4 damage is in addition to the trip, not instead of. That's all they've got, and I don't know if its been updated for 3.5 anywhere.

You can’t be tripped during your own trip attempt when using a set of bolas.
