BoED Lasso question

[flappeercraft]

Would multiple entangles from a Lasso give stacking penalties or would it not?

Would multiple entangles from a Lasso give stacking penalties or would it not?

Probably not. The rules aren't clear, but there are two arguments against this:

1) Status conditions generally don't stack with each other. If you're already entangled by a lasso, then adding another entangling effect doesn't make you even more entangled. A sicken effect plus another sicken effect doesn't make you double-sickened. (Note: fear effects such as shaken do stack under some conditions.)

2) Multiple lassos count as the same source and thus don't stack.

Option #2 still leaves open the possibility of stacking Dex penalties from different sources, such as lasso + net + entangle spell + touch of fatigue and so forth.

Penalties from the same source do not stack. Two lassos are a nonbo. However, you can stack a lasso with a net.
