Could someone explain the bola debuffs?
They immobilize the target for one turn only. Does this increase with throwing skill? Because as is, they're only immobile during my turn (is the point just a dodge penalty?) and have an AP penalty the next. And targeting head and leg has identical effects, with head taking one more AP and having lower THC. What am I missing?
