[Skies] Item - Starcatcher's Cape
🕑 Added 2023-02-10 15:00:07 +0000 UTCThis cape originally started with the intention of creating items for the lesser-used weapons: nets, lances, etc. I knew that Cirro's resource economy, given they rarely land, would require aerial hunting, and a net makes the most sense for snaring creatures out of the sky (birds). It was initially imagined as an ethereal-like net that the "windhunters" would wear as a way to hold the net, but during art development I realized the aurora also sort of looks like a net and I had never drawn an aurora before. Now Cirro's hunters are "starcatchers" - doing a very tough job in the Open Skies.

This cape is more like a net woven with crossed strands of the mystical cirrosilk, a counterweight material that renders the net lighter than usual. It is typically attached to a line of magical thread, a combination designed to snare birds and other creatures from the sky.

Starcatcher's Cape
Wondrous item, uncommon
While attuned, you can make ranged attacks with the net. It has the statistics of a typical net with the following changes:
- The net has a range of 15/30.
- A creature restrained by the net can be freed after the net takes 10 slashing damage instead of 5, and the net is not destroyed.
- The net is attached to an intangible 30-foot line of magical thread, which allows you to reel back the net using an action. If the net is restraining a target, each action you take instead reels the net and target up to 10 feet toward you. If the target is an involuntary creature, you must first succeed on a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) to do so.
