Hailstone Amulet
Wondrous Item • Uncommon • Requires Attunement
Hailstones. This amulet has 3 hailstones and regains 1d3 expended hailstones daily at dawn.
Exploding Hail. As an action, you pluck one hailstone from the amulet. As part of the same action, you can make a ranged attack roll, using your Strength or Dexterity modifier plus your Proficiency Bonus to throw it up to 30 feet against a creature of your choice. The target is affected by the ice knife (dealing bludgeoning instead of piercing) spell. Alternatively, you can refrain from throwing the hailstone after plugging it. If you do so, you or a creature you give the stone to can throw the stone (to a range of 30 feet) or hurl it with a sling (to the sling's normal range), triggering its effect this way. You can also set the stone down without shattering it. After 1 minute, if the stone hasn't already shattered, it explodes and triggers its effect.
