{@note The {@item Hooked Shortspear|OotA|base item} can be found in Out of the Abyss, page 224.} This magic weapon warns you of danger. While the weapon is on your person, you have advantage on initiative rolls. In addition, you and any of your companions within 30 feet of you can't be {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised}, except when {@condition incapacitated} by something other than nonmagical sleep. The weapon magically awakens you and your companions within range if any of you are sleeping naturally when combat begins. On a hit with this weapon, the wielder can forgo dealing damage and attempt to trip the target, in which case the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or fall {@condition prone}. The DC is 8 + the wielder's Strength modifier + the wielder's proficiency bonus. Light A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons.
