Weapon (flail), rare (requires attunement)

A flail made up of twine and twigs, with a loose pumpkin tightly secured at the end of this weapon. While attuned to this weapon, you have a +1 bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls made with it. 


Spectral Projectile. While attuned to this weapon, you are able to launch a spectral jack-o’-lantern. As an action, you can make a ranged spell attack (+4 to hit) against a creature that is within 60 feet that you can see. On a hit, the creature takes 13 (3d6) necrotic damage and is frightened until the end of its next turn.


Gourd Burst. Once per long rest as an action, you are able to smash the pumpkin against a hard surfaces to release the rotten spirits from within. All hostile creatures within 30 feet of you must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, as laughing jack-o’-lanterns swirl around. On a failed save, a creature takes 13 (3d6) necrotic damage and is paralyzed for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half that damage and is instead poisoned until the end of its next turn. A paralyzed creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Afterwards, this magic item can not be used until you finish a long rest, after which the pumpkin magically regrows.
