Weighted boltSource Dragonslayer's Handbook pg. 27StatisticsCost 50 gp Weight 40 lbs.
Category Ammunition; Proficiency AmmunitionDescriptionThis barbed ballista bolt is equipped with a heavy weight at
the end of a long chain. The bolt’s extra weight makes the bolt
harder to fire accurately, and imposes a –2 penalty on attack
rolls. In addition to the normal damage dealt by a ballista bolt
of its size, on a successful hit the weighted bolt lodges itself
into the target’s body, leaving the weighted chain hanging
loosely, imparting a –5 penalty on all Fly checks made by the
target. These penalties stack if a target is hit with multiple
weighted bolts. A weighted bolt can be removed with a
successful DC 25 Heal check or a DC 20 Strength check.
