A bola consists of a length of cord with weights on each end. When thrown, it can entangle a target.
Entanglement: A Large or smaller creature hit by a bola must succeed on a CD 12 Dexterity saving throw or become grappled until it is freed. A bola has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger.
A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the bola (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the bola.
When you use an action to attack with a bola, you can make only one attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make. Also you may not use the bola to attack using a bonus action or reaction.
