The Ascender is built for quick urban traversal, consisting of an underslung grappling hook ballistic attachment connected to a climbing harness belt with an attached spool of fine-braided steel cord.
Once on each of your turns, when taking the Attack action, you can use an attack to fire the Ascender at an object or creature within range. Make a ranged attack against the target, with disadvantage if the target is a creature. On a hit, if the target is an object, the hook secures itself to the surface. If the target is a creature, it has the Restrained condition and can attempt to make an Athletics at the end of each subsequent turn to escape. On a miss, the hook retracts.
You may use a bonus action on a subsequent turn to instantly move along the shortest path to the hook, or move the hooked object or creature to you. You will move to any fixed object. For objects, make a Athletics check to pull it over, and for creatures, make a contested Athletics check to determine who gets pulled. During this move, you or your target are susceptible to opportunity attacks, and you and your target's speed is reduced to 0 until you detach your hook.
Notes: Restrained
