RE: Wire Obstacles

It wouldn't have to be made of metal (we are talking about a

I believe they are called Warp Spiders or something, they shoot clouds
of monofilament.

	Probably hard to see. You might need a good roll to notice it

	> Would an explosion damage it as much as normal wire?

	Probably would take damage, but not as much.

	Yep.
