Sky Ender
Weapon (Longbow) • Rare • Requires Attunement
Magical Weapon. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this bow, and you suffer no disadvantage when attacking at the weapon's long range. Additionally, the bow deals an extra 1d6 piercing damage to any flying creature.
Charges. The bow has 4 charges and regains 1d4 charges daily at dawn. Once per turn, when you take the Attack action using the bow, you can expend 1 charge to replace one of your attacks with one magical arrow with the following effects:
Far-Seer Arrow. You gain the benefits of the clairvoyance spell (sight only) with the arrow as the focus. The effect lasts until the arrow hits something.
Felling Arrow. When the arrow hits a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or can’t use its flying speed (natural or magical) for 1 minute. If the creature is airborne at that time, it immediately starts falling, even if it has a hover ability, and takes an additional 2d6 damage from falling. At the end of each of its turns, the target can repeat the saving throw, ending it on a success.
