Crossbow of the Flying Fist (Patreon)

Weapon (crossbow, hand), uncommon (requires attunement)

The front of this weapon is carved in the likeness of a wooden fist. Crossbow bolts fired from this weapon deal either bludgeoning or piercing damage on a hit (your choice). If you deal bludgeoning damage to a target in this way, the crossbow bolt impacts the target without piercing it, leaving only a sizable welt or bruise behind. When this happens, you can also choose to have a mage hand appear at the target's location, as if you had cast the spell, provided the target was within 30 feet of you. You can use a bonus action immediately after the attack to control the hand.

This version of the mage hand spell can be used to punch a target within 5 feet of it whenever you control it, using a spell attack bonus of +5. On a hit, the hand deals 1 force damage.

Gol was a mountain of a man with the temper of a volcano and ego to match. He would tell anyone to throw a punch if they had a problem with him. They never did.

So, when he stiffed the elf of the other half of her payment, he sneered, tauntingly, as she simply collected her cloak and strange spider tool. As she left, he shoveled the contents of the chest into his lockbox. He stopped thinking about the elf immediately; his thoughts were now preoccupied on the treasure he held. He left the old mines without a care in the world.

So it was to his complete surprise when he suddenly took a series of punches from a field’s length away. Through quickly-bruising eyes, he only barely caught sight of the one-armed woman before finally blacking out.
