Beskrivelse
The large bolts of a ballista are easily attached to ropes or chains and fitted with barbed heads to create harpoons ideal for attaching to ships and larger creatures such as giants or whales, either to allow creatures to climb along the ropes or to pull the target closer.
Handlinger
Harpoon
+6 to hit, range 20/200 ft., one target.
Hit:16 (3d10) piercing damage. The harpoon becomes stuck in the target, and is connected to the ballista by a rope or chain. While stuck, the target can't move further from the Ballista than the length of the rope. One or more creatures can pull on the rope to pull the target closer or knock it prone, and if the target is a creature it can make a Strength (Athletics) check contested against the creature(s) pulling it to resist being moved or knocked prone. A creature can use its action to make a DC 13 Strength check to remove a stuck harpoon from itself or another harpoon within 5ft of it.
