This rusty iron sphere measures 3 inches in diameter and weighs 1 pound. You can use an action to speak the command word and throw the sphere at a Huge or smaller creature you can see within 60 feet of you. As the sphere moves through the air, it opens into a tangle of metal bands.
Make a ranged attack roll with an attack bonus equal to your Dexterity modifier plus your proficiency bonus. On a hit, the target is restrained until you take a bonus action to speak the command word again to release it. Doing so, or missing with the attack, causes the bands to contract and become a sphere once more.
A creature, including the one restrained, can use an action to make a DC 20 Strength check to break the iron bands. On a success, the item is destroyed, and the restrained creature is freed. If the check fails, any further attempts made by that creature automatically fail until 24 hours have elapsed.
Once the bands are used, they can't be used again until the next dawn.
Notes: Control, Utility
i love this item i have used it a lot and my adventurers love using
Nice.
Planning to go heavily into an "Urban Bounty Hunter" character; this is exactly the sort of specialized equipment for them to have for chasing down targets.
Likewise, any city guardsman of sufficient rank might also use these to apprehend members of your local thieves guild.
So, one guy throws that and the other casts Heat Metal. Sounds good!
Edit: also, Hex synergizes with this (give disadvantage on Strength checks), so that'll help the longevity of the item.
absolutely brutal. ahah. I just gave these to my character and cant wait to use them, but im worried knowing my luck that theyll just immediately break out. Such is life tho
Can twirl my hat back as free action when i throw this
Just imagine giving one of these to your villain and having them use it on one of your player characters...
*cackles in DM*
Freedom of Movement vs this spell. Do the bands break, do they come off, do they stay on and have no effect?
It's basically a Pokeball kekw
two words. heat metal
i hate that they break as soon as someone escapes
Run these on a bounty hunter build.
This is such a cool item
