Is it possible to create this item in the homebrew tools? I've tried, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. I think I may need to make 2 (or 3) different homebrew items with individual attacks (a sickle 1d6, versatile to 1d8; and a chain 1d4 blunt with the special grapple attack below)
Wielded as two light weapons: one (sickle) that deals 1d6 slashing damage; one (chain) that deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage. Doesn't have reach when wielded this way.
Special attack with the weighted end against any Large or smaller creature, dealing no damage but forcing the target to make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier). On a failed saving throw, the target is grappled. A grappled target can repeat the saving throw as an action on its turn. While a target is grappled you can continue to use the sickle end of the weapon, but it loses the reach property and deals 1d6 slashing damage. Finally, you can use a chain sickle as the equivalent of a grappling hook and fifteen feet of rope.
Thanks
