Arrow, Hunter. Hunter arrows deal 1d6 ranged impact and 1d4 tear damage.
Arrow, Precision. Precision arrows deal 2d8 ranged impact damage and 2d4 tear damage.
Arrow, Shock. Shock arrows deal 1d4 ranged impact damage and 1d6 shock damage. Additionally, the target must make a Might saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Finesse mod + your proficiency bonus) or become stunned until the end of their next turn.
Bolts, Metal. The target must make a Finesse saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Finesse mod + your proficiency bonus) or take 3d4 piercing damage. If the target is within the weapon's long range category, it has advantage on its saving throw.
If the weapon is fully loaded with ammunition, you can expend it all and spend your Action to pepper a 10-foot cube area within the weapon's range with shots. Each creature in the targeted area must succeed on a Finesse saving throw or take the weapon’s normal damage. A target that is within the weapon’s long range has advantage on its saving throw.
Bomb, Blast. A blast bomb is fired at a target point within range. Creatures within 10 feet of the target point must make a Finesse saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Finesse mod + your proficiency bonus). If you fire the bomb at a target point within the weapon's long range category, all creatures in the affected area have advantage on their saving throw. On a failed save a target take 5d6 explosive impact damage and 4d6 tear damage; on a successful save, a target takes only half as much damage of each type.
Bomb, Freeze. A freeze bomb is fired at a target point within range. Creatures within 10 feet of the target point must make a Might saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Finesse mod + your proficiency bonus). If you fire the bomb at a target point within the weapon's long range category, all creatures in the affected area have advantage on their saving throw. On a failed save a target takes 1d8 explosive impact damage and 2d8 freeze damage and is restrained for 1d4 turns; on a successful save, a target takes only half as much damage of each type and is not restrained. A creature restrained by a freeze bomb may repeat their saving throw at the end of each turn to end the condition early.
Tie Rope, Light. When you hit a creature with this weapon, you may immediately spend your reaction to anchor the tie rope in the ground in your current space. The distance between you and the target dictates the length the rope spools to: the target can't move further from any tie rope anchor it’s fixed to than the length of that rope. At the end of each of its turns, the target may make a Strength saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Finesse mod + your proficiency bonus + the largest weight bonus for any tie rope currently binding the target (if any)). The creature breaks free of 1 tie rope if it beats the ropecaster’s save DC, plus 1 additional tie rope for every increment of 2 by which its save exceeds the DC. Tie ropes are destroyed when the target breaks free of them.
| Tie Rope Weight | Damage | DC Weight Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 1d4 ranged impact, 2d6 tear | — |
| Medium | 1d6 ranged impact, 2d8 tear | +1 |
| Heavy | 1d8 ranged impact, 2d10 tear | +2 |
If a target is already anchored by at least one other tie rope when you hit it with a ropecaster attack, it must immediately make a Strength saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Finesse mod + your proficiency bonus + the largest weight bonus for any tie rope currently binding the target (if any) + 2 per additional tie rope already anchoring the target). On a failed save, the target falls prone and becomes restrained until it is anchored by fewer than 2 tie ropes.
When a creature is anchored to multiple tie ropes of different weights, beating the save DC breaks 1 tie-rope of that weight. If you beat the DC by enough to break additional ropes, lighter ropes are broken before heavier ropes.
Failing to anchor a tie rope means it is still attached to your ropecaster, though you can discard the rope as an object interaction. As an action on your turn, you can make a Strength (Athletics) check opposed by the target's own Strength (Athletics) check to drag the target in the direction of your own movement. On its turn as an action, the target can make a Strength (Athletics) check opposed by your own Strength (Athletics) check to drag you in the direction of its own movement. If you fail or choose not to roll the ability check, you can spend your reaction to drop the ropecaster, in which case only the weapon is dragged after the target.

Arrow, Fire. Fire arrows deal 1d4 impact damage and 1d6 fire damage. Additionally, the target must make a Finesse saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Finesse mod + your proficiency bonus) or gain the burning condition, taking 3 fire damage for 1d4 turns or until the condition is removed.

If the weapon is fully loaded with ammunition, you can expend it all and spend your Action to pepper a 10-foot cube area within the weapon's range with shots. Each creature in the targeted area must succeed on a Finesse saving throw or take the weapon’s normal damage and effect. A target that is within the weapon’s long range has advantage on its saving throw.

Bomb, Sticky. A sticky bomb attaches to a creature or surface and explodes at the end of your next turn. If you fire the sticky bomb at a creature, you make a ranged attack attack roll. On a hit, the bomb sticks to the creature and the target automatically fails its saving throw against the later explosion. When the sticky bomb explodes, creatures within 10 feet of it must make a Finesse saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Finesse mod + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save targets take 6d6 explosive impact damage and 5d6 tear damage; on a successful save, a target takes only half as much damage of each type. A humanoid target can use their Action to make a Might (Athletics) check. If the check beats the weapon's save DC, they successfully remove the sticky bomb from their person and may throw it with a range of 20/60 as a their bonus action.
Tie Rope, Medium. Refer to the rules of the Light Tie Rope listed under Basic Weapons. Medium Tie Ropes add a +1 rope weight bonus to an anchored creature's save DC.

Lodge Weapons
Lodge weapons are equivalent to shadow tier weapons, but are of particularly masterful quality. They are awarded only to Lodge members who complete hunting grounds trials and show their sun medals to the Lodge merchant in Meridian. As such, they are normally only available to hunters who have attained the Lodge hunter prestige.
| Weapon | Cost (Shards) | Cost (Materials) | Damage | Range (Ft.) | Mod Slots | Properties |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bow, War | non-purchasable | non-purchasable | By arrow type | 80/320 | 3 | ammunition (shock, freeze, and corruption arrows), +1 to attack rolls |
| Ropecaster | non-purchasable | non-purchasable | 1d8 impact, 2d10 tear | 40 | 3 | ammunition (heavy tie ropes), +1 to attack rolls |
| Sling, Blast | non-purchasable | non-purchasable | By bomb type | 30/90 | 3 | ammunition (blast, proximity, and sticky bombs), +1 to target save DCs |
Other Mastercraft Shadow Weapons
Although Lodge weapons are special examples of their type, the same craftsfolk who made them are able to make more of equivalent quality. Hunters can therefore track such smiths down and commission mastercrafted weapons of equivalent quality to Lodge weapons. Furthermore, some weaponsmiths may be capable of making equally masterful examples of other weapon types than those awarded by the Lodge.
Mastercraft weapons have either a +1 bonus to attack rolls or increase save DCs versus their effects by +1, whichever is most appropriate for the weapon in question. The GM should ensure that the merchant charges a suitable price in metal shards and rare machine materials to compensate them for their work. any such merchant will charge for the creation of such an item is high enough that salvaging the necessary materials may be almost as challenging as simply completing the hunting trials! The table below shows suggested prices for mastercraft commissions of Lodge-equivalent weapons. The guidelines used in each case are:
- 1.5 times the cost of the shadow weapon
- The material cost of the shadow weapon
- 1 additional lens or heart salvaged from a machine of CR 7 or higher.
You can use the prices suggested below, or set your own:
| Weapon | Cost (Shards) | Cost (Materials) |
|---|---|---|
| Bow, War | 1,200 | 1 trampler heart, 1 stormbird lens |
| Ropecaster | 750 | 1 snapmaw heart, 1 ravager lens |
| Sling, Blast | 2,100 | 1 lancer heart, 1 rockbreaker heart |
