THORNED ARMLET

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This dark leather armlet is adorned with vines and sharp thorns that can animate and extend, reminiscent of a living plant creature. The armlet has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. While wearing this armlet, you can expend charges to gain the following benefits:

Vine Strike (1 charge): As an action, you can extend the vines, making a melee weapon attack with a 10-foot reach. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 piercing damage, and you can use a bonus action to grapple the target (escape DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier). While the target is grappled, the vines retract the target to you, and you can't use this feature on another creature. You can use a bonus action to end the effect early.

Thorny Defense (2 charges): When a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to deal 1d4 piercing damage to the attacker, as the armlet's thorns lash out in response to the attack.
