• Caestus are reinforced gloves which both protect and improve the punches. All creatures are proficient with Caestus.
• Composite Bows are complex and powerful shortbows made in a recurve design. This means the weapon has greater power, but also requires greater strength from its user as a result. Creatures proficient with martial weapons are proficient with Composite bows.

Chains and Restraints

weight is halved for chains used as a weapon

weight in ( ) is weight added to a Bola if the leather straps are replaced

cost for chains is halved when added to a Bola

The DC of chains and restraints refers to the DC required to break them with a Strength (Athletics) check.

Creatures bound by them can also attempt a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to escape with Disadvantage against the same DC.

Subsequent checks to break or escape the restraints after the first attempt incur one level of Exhaustion after, even if the result is successful. Successful Strength (Athletics) checks destroy the restraints, which can be repaired for 1/10th their cost. Successful Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks do not destroy them.

Special Ammunition

Sometimes a round could be specially made, or enchanted. In that case the damage is amplified by special round. Here are a few examples.

• Incendiary: On a hit, the shot explodes dealing 1d10 bonus fire damage to the creature hit. Any creatures within 5ft of the creature hit must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take the bonus fire damage as well.
• Concussive: On a hit, the shot flattens, dealing 1d6 bonus bludgeoning damage and forcing the creature to make a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
• Stormcharged: On a hit, the shot deals 2d6 bonus lightning damage and arcs lightning from the creature hit to the nearest creature within 15ft. If multiple creatures are within range, the DM rolls a 1d4, starting north and moving in the cardinal directions to choose a creature. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take the bonus lightning damage.
• Freezing: On a hit, the shot deals 1d6 bonus cold damage and the creature must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or else have their movement speed reduced by half for 1 minute, as ice chills their veins.
• Poisoned: On a hit the shot deals 2d4 bonus poison damage, and the creature must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, or else be poisoned for 1 hour.
