Hand Pelter - small stone bow, fully compatible with pellets for netherpelter.

Among the objects found in caches of Netherese Caverns were many weapons, including
netherpelters (see "Netheril - Empire Of Magic").
The wizards of Sshamath quickly figured out that while a telekinetic blowgun is
relatively easy to conceal, generally "twice the range of a common blowgun" is
underwhelming, since this can be had with a mundane hand crossbow - and the latter
can be enchanted for better performance.
Their idea of a more useful special weapon was a variant of drow hand crossbow (or
slurbow) with groove sized for small pellets, under a common enchantment (usually
"+2", "+3" or "+2 of distance", sometimes "of speed"), and also enspelled to
properly activate netherpelter ammunition.
Base statistics as hand crossbow; damage (with a mundane metal ball) 1d4 (B).

Pellets - includes known netherpelter ammunition and even more new types. Most are
cheaper than replicas of original Netherese pellets, and it's wise to have less
dangerous options than a 10-dice fireball or miniature tornado, especially at short
range.

Sand: equal to a sap attack plus Slumber spell (as Sleep, but 1 target and no
HD limit).

Viscid: same effect as Wand of Viscid Globs.

Slick: grease.

Flash: like a Flash Globe (cloud of irritant + non-magical faerie fire


equivalent, 5' radius), magic used only to improve spraying of a smaller dose.

Spray: same as Flash, but loaded with another poison (inhaled or contact) or
smell known to affect particular creatures.

Light: C.Light (common "Light pellet" used against drow and other Underdark
inhabitants, just in the size fitting for this weapon).

Dark: same with Darkness.

Glow splash: Faerie Fireball (faerie fire bursts to 20' radius sphere and then
fades out; every creature it touches is marked as if it was separately targeted by
faerie fire, save negates) - now available in different colours!

Glitterdust: as the spell, but 10' radius.

Fire: fire trap at the minimum casting level.
