Dragon Hook

Wondrous item, very rare

This is a magical grappling hook with a 50 ft. golden rope attached. The hook is shaped like a dragon’s head with spines forming the hooks.

You can use the Dragon Hook as a melee weapon, in which case you get a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. On a hit it does 1d6+1 piercing damage. If you use it has a thrown weapon, you get a +1 bonus on the attack roll. On a hit, the target must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone and be grappled by the claws of the hook. The target may attempt to escape the claws with a DC 16 Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check.

If you use this for climbing, it aids you by pulling you up its 50 ft. of rope. You have advantage on any check used to throw and lodge the grappling hook. If used for descent, two quick pulls (perhaps an accident the first time), causes the Dragon Hook to release its grip and fall, allowing you to retrieve it.
