Bolt of Wild Lightning
Added 2025-02-24 17:34:53 +0000 UTCWeapon (bolt), rare
This crossbow bolt is made of zigzagging glass. When you use a crossbow to fire the bolt at a target that's within 100 feet of you, the bolt transforms into a crackling bolt of lightning. The bolt recreates the effects of the lightning bolt spell (save DC 15), extending from you in the direction of the target of the attack. If the target is made of metal or wearing metal armor, it has disadvantage on the saving throw and the lightning immediately arcs toward up to four random targets that are within 30 feet of the original target and not within the line of lightning. Each random target then makes the saving throw against the bolt's effects; it makes the save with advantage unless it's also made of metal or wearing metal armor.
Once the bolt transforms into the bolt of lightning, the ammunition is destroyed.
First the shock, then the awe, and then the shock again.
