Mechanics & Inner Workings

Weapon (longbow), legendary (requires attunement)
Dormant State

• The wielder gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.
• When firing an arrow from this weapon, the wielder can declare an oracle shot, allowing them to project their sight through the arrow they fire for up to 10 minutes. The ability cannot be used again until the next short rest.
• When a creature is killed by an arrow from this weapon, a single six-foot tree rapidly grows out of their corpse over the next minute.

Awakened State

• The bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to a +2. Additionally when the wielder hits with an attack using this weapon, the target takes an additional 1d4 lightning damage.
• When the wielder hits with an attack, they can declare a bramble shot. The target takes an additional 3d8 piercing damage and must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw or become restrained by the suddenly sprouting steel-hard thorn brambles that immediately grow from the arrow. The restrained target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. This ability cannot be used again until the wielder finishes a short or long rest.

Exalted State

• The bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to a +3.
• The lightning damage dealt by attacks with this weapon increases to 1d6.
• The wielder can use the bramble shot ability twice between rests, and the saving throw DC increases to 17.
