When you roll a 20 on your attack roll with this magic weapon, the target takes an extra 7 damage of the weapon’s type.
Proficiency with a net allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
A Large or smaller creature hit by a net is restrained until it is freed. A net has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net.
When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to attack with a net, you can make only one attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
Notes: Damage: Additional, Damage, Combat, Special, Thrown
7 Bludgeoning Damage with a net, 5% chance.
Has there been an official ruling on what happens with this weapon (sage advice, etc)?
@Flare76 This sage advice indicates that 'extra' damage needs damage to begin with: nets deal no damage and no damage type.
This also means Sharpshooter feat, Sneak Attack, Hex/Hunter's Mark etc. will not do any damage either as they all seem to have the 'extra damage' keyword mentioned.
Thanks!
