Rather than dealing damage, it restrains its target, preventing movement and giving allies the advantage of attacking a helpless foe. A net is only effective against targets of Large size or smaller. --- ## Properties - Deals **no damage**. - **Special** — A Large or smaller creature hit by a net is **restrained** until freed. A net has no effect on creatures that are formless, or on creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it. Once thrown, a net can't be used again until it is retrieved. - **Thrown** — range 5/15 ft. - A creature that makes a **ranged attack with a net while within 5 feet of a hostile creature** does so at disadvantage (unless it has the Crossbow Expert feat). - Requires **Martial Weapon** proficiency.
