Iron Bands

Wondrous Item, Rare

This rusty iron sphere measures 3 inches across and weighs 1 pound. You can use a Magic action to throw the sphere at a Huge or smaller creature you can see within 60 feet. As it flies, it unfolds into a tangle of metal bands.

Make a ranged attack roll using your Dexterity modifier plus your Proficiency Bonus. On a hit, the target is Restrained until you use a Bonus Action to command the bands to release it. Whether you hit or miss, the bands automatically retract into a sphere afterward.

A creature, including the Restrained one, can use its action to attempt a DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check to break free. On a success, the bands are destroyed, and the creature is freed. On a failure, the creature can’t attempt the check again for 24 hours.

Once used, the bands can’t be used again until the next dawn.
