Cross Bow
weapon (longbow), rare
This ornery, talking bow has a permanent scowl carved into its wooden frame and a string that twangs with indignation every time it's drawn. Despite the name, Cross Bow is not a crossbow—it hates crossbows. It grumbles, nags, and complains constantly, but it’s surprisingly reliable in a fight.
Magic Weapon
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic bow.Snarky Shot
Once per turn when you hit a creature with Cross Bow, the weapon delivers a biting insult along with the arrow. The target takes an extra psychic damage unless it succeeds on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. The bow usually says things like:“Wow, that was your best shot?” “Oh no, he’s back with the arrows again.” “You know what’d hit harder? A real crossbow.”
Petty Vengeance
When you roll a natural 1 on an attack roll using Cross Bow, the weapon throws a tantrum. You take bludgeoning damage as the string slaps your hand, and you have disadvantage on your next ranged weapon attack until the end of your turn.Sentient
Cross Bow is a sentient weapon (Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 10) with hearing and darkvision out to 60 feet. It speaks Common and Elvish, and can speak aloud in a voice that always sounds slightly disappointed in you.Cross Bow refuses to work if you are wielding or attuned to any kind of crossbow. If you do so, it deactivates and enters a sulking silence until you ditch the "mechanical monstrosity."
