Net-Loaded Spear in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

The Griffon's Saddlebag

Net-Loaded Spear

Weapon

Common

This spear has a hollow metal head filled with a spring-loaded net. Attacks made with this weapon deal bludgeoning damage instead of piercing. When you hit a target with a melee attack using the weapon, you can press a button on the handle as a bonus action to deploy the spring-loaded net. When you do, the target of the attack is restrained if it's Large or smaller. Once the net is deployed, you can retract and reset it as an action. When you do, anything held by the net is released. Attacks with the spear are made with disadvantage while the net is deployed. If something is retrained by the net, you can't use the spear to make weapon attacks.   You can use a bonus action to prime the net to trigger upon impact, allowing it to deploy when the spear hits a target the next time it's thrown or swung as part of an attack.   This net follows the net's normal rules but cannot be detached from the spear without destroying the net. You can replace the net with a new one by spending 1 minute reattaching it to the spear.   Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the dagger has the finesse property.   Versatile. This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.
