Activate 2 (manipulate)


The dried, shrunken corpse of a giant tarantula inside this smoked glass bottle is obscured by swirling vapor and cobwebs. You can throw the ampoule up to 30 feet when you Activate it. When you open or throw the ampoule, a Large giant tarantula effigy bursts forth and lunges at one adjacent creature. If the target fails a DC 21 Fortitude save, it takes 1d10+4 piercing damage. If the target critically fails the save, it's also exposed to tarantula venom.

Trait Effects

Alchemical: Alchemical items are powered by reactions of alchemical reagents. Unless otherwise noted, alchemical items aren’t magical and don’t radiate a magical aura. Alchemical creatures are partially powered by alchemical reactions.

Consumable: An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it’s destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. A character can Craft consumable items in batches of four.

Expandable: An item with the expandable trait increases to a specific size when activated. Unless otherwise noted, this space must be adjacent to you and on the ground, and the item needs to have enough open space to expand into or else the activation has no effect. When the effect ends, the expanded item disintegrates if it's a consumable or shrinks back to its normal size if it's not a consumable.
