Description
Thin cables unfurl from within this item as it flies towards an enemy. When a creature is hit with a ranged attack using this ammunition, they are Restrained instead of taking damage if they are Large or smaller.
As an action, the Restrained target can make a DC 15 Strength check, escaping on a success. When a creature escapes in this way, there is a 50% chance the ammunition is destroyed beyond repair.
The bands can be attacked (AC 12, HP 5, immune to Bludgeoning, Poison, and Psychic damage). When the bands are dealt damage by an attack, the Restrained creature suffers the same damage. If the bands are destroyed by an attack, the ammunition is destroyed.
Once the ammunition is used, it can be recovered and reused if it was not destroyed. A creature must spend an hour and succeed on a DC 13 Sleight of Hand check to reset the ammunition before it can be used again.
