Bag of Boulders - Merfolk Version

This pouch contains a handful of seemingly ordinary watery pebbles. However, the bag magically generates stones that strike with the force of a catapult when thrown.

Properties:

• Range: Each stone has a range of 50 feet. You are proficient with the stones and must make a ranged attack roll to hit a target.
• Disappearance: Once a stone has been thrown, it vanishes after completing its flight, regardless of whether it hits or misses.

Activation:
Using the Bag of Boulders requires an action, which includes drawing and throwing a stone. The bag has 3 charges that replenish daily at dawn. The number of charges used determines the damage dealt by the thrown stone:

• 1 charge: The stone deals 2d8 bludgeoning damage.
• 2 charges: The stone deals 3d8 bludgeoning damage.
• 3 charges: The stone deals 4d8 bludgeoning damage.

Environmental Effects:
The stones gain additional effects depending on the environment:

• Underwater: The stone chills rapidly as it flies, dealing an additional 1d8 cold damage on impact and leaving a brief icy mist in the water around the target.
• High Altitudes or Stormy Skies: The stone crackles with electricity, dealing an additional 1d8 lightning damage on impact. On a critical hit, the target must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or be stunned until the end of their next turn.

The stones vanish after hitting a target or at the end of their flight, leaving no trace of their impact.
