[Ocean Kingdoms] Crosstacean (Patreon)

Crossbow (any), uncommon (requires attunement)

The longevity of lobsters is well known. Using biomancy magic, this phenomenon can be reversed, resulting in a weapon that can magically age and necrose a target. This weapon deals an additional 1d4 necrotic damage when any projectile it shoots hits a creature.

The Seize. Before you fire this weapon, you can spend a bonus action to enchant one piece of loaded ammunition with debilitating, arthritic energy that causes the target’s joints to seize solid. If the next attack hits, the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become restrained until the end of your next turn. If the target fails by 5 or more (DC 8), it is paralysed instead of restrained. Once you use this feature, roll a d6. On a 1, the lobster’s colour fades to grey, and you can’t use this feature again until the next dawn.

Rare version: Increase the necrotic damage to 1d6 and the DC to 15.

Very rare version: Increase the necrotic damage to 1d8 and the DC to 17.
