Arachnet Launcher

Weapon (tommybow), uncommon

Component: beast (giant spider) egg

“The itsy-bitsy spider crawls up your fest’ring wound. / Out comes some blood, and the spider knows you’re doomed. / Begging for it to end, you cry out in pain. / But the itsy-bitsy spider just crawls up your wound again.”  - Drow nursery rhyme.

Swarm Net. When you take the Attack action, you can replace one of your attacks with this weapon with a special ranged weapon attack, launching a net of spider silk teeming with spiders at a creature within 15 feet of you. On a hit, the creature is restrained by the net. At the start of each of its turns, the restrained creature takes 1d6 piercing damage and 1d6 poison damage, and must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, as hundreds of tiny spiders crawl along the web, biting and stinging their victim. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned until the start of its next turn. The net has AC 13 and is destroyed if it takes 10 fire or slashing damage, freeing the creature within without harming it. Alternatively, the restrained creature or another creature within reach can use its action to make a DC 13 Strength check, destroying the net on a success. Once this property of the weapon has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn, when the spiders living within the tommybow finish producing another silk net.
