Subtle Cricket
Weapon (hand crossbow), rare (requires attunement)

This unusually small hand crossbow packs a mighty punch. You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The crossbow has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. When you make a ranged attack with the crossbow, you can expend 1 to 3 of its charges to empower the bolt with kinetic energy. On a hit, for each charge you spend, the target takes an additional 1d12 force damage and is pushed 5 feet away from you. Additionally, when you fire a kinetic bolt, you must succeed on a DC 10 (+2 for each additional charge) Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If you score a critical hit with a kinetic bolt, the target is pushed thrice as far and knocked prone.

“It’s got a kick to it!” Irwin blurted out after being launched onto his back. He remained supine for a minute to catch his breath before resuming target practice.
