| Short | For the Crossbow, Heavy Crank |
| Fluff | The grappling bolt is a grappling hook made with a shaft that allows it to be loaded into Heavy Crank Crossbow. |
| Description | The stats of a weapon using a grappling bolt are adjusted as listed in the grappling bolt's stat block. Attack rolls take a -2 penalty. Firing the grappling bolt into a specific square requires hitting AC 5. Successfully firing over a wall or onto a roof (larger than 1 square) requires hitting AC 0. Firing a grappling bolt directly at a creature will usually not result in the creature being grappled, though some body forms may be automatically grappled or grappled if you hit 5 or 10 above the creature's AC (a giant skeleton might be grappled via the rib cage on 10 above AC, while a shambling mount consisting of rotting vegetation and tangled branches might be automatically grappled). Grappling normal creatures requires firing past the creatures and quickly reeling in, infliciting a -4 penalty on the attack roll (stacking with the -2 penalty for using a grappling bolt in the first place, for a total of -6). On success the target takes 1d4 piercing damage and is grappled. |
| Benefit | |
| Note | The grappling hook can also be used as an improvised light weapon dealing 1d6 piercing damage. If you are proficient with the Grappling Hook as a weapon, then the Grappling Bolt loses the improvised quality. |
