# Caltrops *Adventuring gear* - **Cost**: 1 gp - **Weight**: 2.0 lbs. As a [Utilize](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/actions.md#Utilize) action, you can spread Caltrops from their bag to cover a 5-foot-square area within 5 feet of yourself. A creature that enters this area for the first time on a turn must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 1 Piercing damage and have its [Speed](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/speed-xphb.md) reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. It takes 10 minutes to recover the Caltrops. *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 224. Available in the Free Rules (2024)*
