Grapple Shot

Wondrous Item

Rare

Gadget, ranged

As an action, you can make a ranged attack to shoot the grapple hook at a target within 60 feet. The hook can support up to 500 pounds, allowing for easy climbing. As an additional action, you can use the hook to pull objects or creatures (up to Medium size) towards you. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) check against your Strength (Athletics) check or be pulled up to 10 feet towards you for every 5 points by which your check exceeds theirs (minimum 10 feet).

Crafting Cost: 2 mechanical scraps
Repair Cost: 1 mechanical scrap

Upgrade Modules


Retractor. Allows the grapple shot to retract, pulling the user to the hooked location or pulling a Medium or smaller creature towards the user (Strength contest to resist). Using the retractor feature is a bonus action.


Extended Cable. Increases the range to 120 feet and allows it to support up to 1,000 pounds.


Electrified Hook. The hook deals 1d6 lightning damage on a hit and forces the target to make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of their next turn.


Barbed Hook. Your ranged attacks with the Grapple Hook automatically succeed on objects and have advantage when made against creatures.


Bola Shot. When targeting a creature, you can choose to fire and detach a special cable that wraps around the target, binding them. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier) or become restrained until they use an action to make a Strength check against the same DC, freeing themselves on a success.


Quick Shot. You can use the Grapple Hook as a reaction while falling or to an enemy's movement, attack, or other action within 60 feet. When used this way, the hook attempts to grapple the target or an object, potentially pulling the target closer or stopping their movement.


Quick Deployment. Attach the Gadget to your armor, allowing you to use it more quickly in combat. Using a Gadget upgraded with this module now takes a bonus action instead of an action.
