Shortbow of the Cobra

Ammo: arrow

This metallic bow resembles the shape of a mighty cobra and is covered in spots of patina. When you fire an arrow from the bow, you can choose to coat the arrow in a thin layer of acid. A target hit with the acid-coated arrow takes an extra 1d4 acid damage. Hit or miss, a nonmagical coated arrow is destroyed after the attack. In addition, the bow has 4 charges and regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn. When you take the Attack action using this bow, you can expend 1 of its charges to replace one of your weapon attacks with a special attack. This special attack duplicates the effect of the acid arrow spell and uses the same attack bonus as your normal weapon attacks with the bow.

Ammunition: You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. The ammunition of a firearm is destroyed upon use. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield. If you use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a melee attack, you treat the weapon as an improvised weapon (see "Improvised Weapons").

Range: A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range shown in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon's normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon's maximum range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can't attack a target beyond the weapon's long range.

Two-Handed: This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.
