Marshwarden Bow

Added 2024-08-23 15:14:28 +0000 UTC

Weapon (any bow), rare (requires attunement)

This bow is made of twisted cypress roots and covered in long, stringy moss. The bowstring is always slick with water. Nonmagical arrows fired from this bow deal an extra 1d6 acid or poison damage on a hit (your choice each time). When you're in a forest or swamp and are hidden from a creature, missing with an attack against it doesn't reveal your position.

Wretched Burst. When you hit a target with an arrow fired from this bow, you can cause it to erupt in a putrid cloud centered on the target, duplicating the effect of the stinking cloud spell (save DC 15). This version of the spell doesn't require concentration. Once this property of the bow has been used, it can't be used again until the next dawn or until it's spent at least 1 hour submerged in naturally occurring swamp water.

The swamp doesn't ask for your approval. It doesn't care if you like it or not. It is what it is, and that's enough.
