In THOLIAN ATTACK, rules 4Q3a and 4Q3b seem to state indirectlly that you may not extend normal linear web with cast web. That is, placing normal (anchored) web with a Caster must initially stand alone.

I'm confused on this matter due to the clause in 4Q3b : "A Cast Web Segment cannot join two strands...." There is nothing after this about whether or not you may extend linear web from an end anchor with Cast Web if you are not attempting to join strands.

And it seems an inconsistent prohibition to not permit bridging two strands with a Caster if it's perfectly legal to do it with conventional laid Web.

May I please have some feedback on this matter?

When you say "asteroid" can that be replaced by "any valid anchor point", correct?

A more simple way to ask the question would be , may I add on to an established linear web with a Web Caster, yes or no? I would think the answer would be no in most or all cases. If no, then is there ANY exception you may be aware of. Thanks for the reply ScoutDad.

By the way, I was aware the quote got cut short and of the subsequent text, but it seems strange to say that you can't link two strands without saying whether or not you can add on to a terminating, or end anchor on one end of a strand. It just seems to me a wee bit more explanation is wanting. Thanks again.

'dad got it.

Cast web may not be adjacent to any other web hexes.
