Notes

• There is a saving throw for Shocking Grasp condition, but combat log does not show it.
• When the Lightning Jabber is dipped into a dippable surface, it receives the coating but it also removes the dippable surface.
• The description of Throwing: Lightning Damage is somewhat misleading, as the spear does the same 1d4⁠⁠Lightning damage when thrown as when used in a melee attack. However most thrown weapons do not apply their extra damage when thrown, which is what the passive enables.

Bugs

• Shocking Sting states that it has a chance to apply  Shocked, but the condition actually applied is the similar but less potent  Shocking Grasp.
• Despite being labelled as a Spear, the Root Template is erroneously tagged as a Javelin and as such does not work with the Polearm Master feat.
