A man catcher is a polearm with a two-pronged head. Each prong is semi-circular and ends in a hinged lip that allows an object through, but not back.
The man catcher has disadvantage on attacks against targets that are 5ft away from you. When you hit a creature with the man catcher, it must make a Dexterity saving throw, with disadvantage, contested against your Strength check. On a failure, the target is grappled at the space where it was hit by the man catcher. While you have a creature grappled with this weapon, you may use it to make Strength checks to push and pull the creature with advantage.
A creature one size smaller than the man catcher has advantage on Strength checks made to escape the grapple of this weapon. Creatures who are two sizes smaller or below the man catcher's size, as well as those who are one size larger or above, cannot be grappled because the difference in size is too great.
A man catcher being used to grapple a creature cannot be used to attack. If it is not currently grappling a creature, you may use it to whack creatures over the head, dealing 1d4 bludgeoning damage on a hit.
