| Text | As an action, you can animate the net and command it to attack a single opponent of up to Large size. It flies towards a creature you can see within 20 feet of you.
The target must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or become restrained. A creature hit by the net is restrained until it is freed and suffers 4 (1d4 + 2) points of piercing damage at the start of its turn as long as it remains restrained.
As a bonus action, you can direct the net to release any creature currently restrained in it and direct it at a new target that is no more than 20 feet away. The net remains animate for 1 minute or until you command it as a bonus action to turn inanimate. It has no effect on creatures that are Huge or larger.
A creature can use its action to make a DC 16 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 25 slashing damage to the net (AC 16) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net. Using the leash attached to the net, you can drag or pull creatures restrained by the net towards you with a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If you move while using the net this way, your speed is halved, unless the creature is two or more sizes smaller than you.
Special: A Large or smaller creature hit by a net is restrained until it is freed. A net has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net. When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to attack with a net, you can make only one attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
This weapon is fashioned from infernal iron and traced with veins of hellfire that shed dim light in a 5-foot-radius.
Any humanoid killed by an attack made with this weapon has its soul funneled into the River Styx, where it's reborn instantly as a lemure devil.
