General Rules

These are universal rules for every gun found in this book.

Misfire (Optional Rule). This rule is made only for games where firearms are prominent and you wish to emphasize inferiority of Primitive Firearms. These rules only apply to them in this instance.

If you make an attack roll and the roll matches or is lower than a firearm's misfire number, (such as 2, for example), your gun jams. You cannot make an attack with it again until you spend an action to clear the chamber. Your firearm's misfire number then goes up by 1, to a maximum of 5. You can spend 1 minute and make a DC 10 + your firearm's misfire number Dexterity(Tinker's tools) or Intelligence(Tinker's tools) check to reduce your gun's misfire number by 1, to a minimum of its original misfire number.

Primitive Guns (Optional Rule). In games where firearms are prominent, you can use this optional rule. Primitive Firearms are not properly built for combat. If you make more than two attacks with these weapons on your turn, the firearm's misfire number goes up by 1, to a maximum of 10.

Reload. Some ranged weapons can be fired a number of times before they must be reloaded. Ranged weapons with the reload property take an action (player's choice) to reload its ammunition.

If you wield two light ranged weapons with the reload property, you can reload them both at once as an action during your turn.

Mundane Ammo Types

Name	Cost	Usable with	Weight	Properties
Musketball	2gp(20)	Primitive firearms without scatter	1 lb	Piercing
Spreadshot	2gp(20)	Blunderbusses	1 lb	Bludgeoning
Cartridge	3gp(10)	Advanced firearms without scatter	1 lb	Piercing
Buckshot	2gp(20)	Shotguns	2 lbs	Bludgeoning
Slug	3gp(10)	Shotguns	3 lbs	Removes the scatter property. functions like a Cartridge Round.

Firearm Properties

The following properties will not be featured universally on every firearm and will vary from gun to gun.

Automatic. Automatic firearms can make a separate attack that releases a salvo of bullets per pull of the trigger. As an action, you can force any creatures of your choice in a 25-foot square centered on a point within your firearm's maximum range to make a Dexterity saving throw, taking the gun's automatic damage (listed in parenthesis) on a failed save, and half that damage on a success. This action subtracts 10 rounds from your gun. You can use this action only if you have the ammunition available to do so.

Firearms with the automatic property always expend six ammunition per attack.

Burst Fire. Burst fire firearms are able to make a special attack that releases a stream of multiple bullets. As an action, you can force up to 6 creatures of your choice in a 15-foot square centered on a point within your gun's maximum range to make a Dexterity saving throw, taking your gun's burst fire damage (listed in parenthesis) on a failed save, and half that damage on a success. This action subtracts 6 rounds from your gun. You can use this action only if you have the ammunition available to do so.

Additionally, guns with the burst fire property always expend 3 rounds per attack.

Scatter. Firearms with the scatter property have two types of damage, a regular damage roll and a scatter damage roll. When you hit a creature with a firearm that has the scatter property, creatures within 5 feet of the target take scatter damage if the attack would hit them. The original target does not take this damage.

You gain resistance to the scatter damage dealt from your firearm attacks.

A spell cast using a firearm with the scatter property only triggers once, and only on the original target of the attack. (see the blood-lightning shot spell)

Proficiency with Firearms

Firearms are not typical weapons. The nature of their construction and the complexity of their use and care make a special kind of training required to become proficient with them. Unless otherwise specified by the DM, firearms count as a separate proficiency from martial and simple weapons. There are two types of proficiencies associated with firearms. Longarms, which include Two-Handed firearms, and Sidearms, which include every other kind of firearm. Sidearms can be wielded in one hand.

Expanded Fighting Styles

You can't take the same Fighting Style more than once, even if you get to choose again.

Akimbo Shooting

When you take the attack action with a light weapon, you can use a bonus action to make an attack with a light ranged weapon you are holding in your other hand. You do not add your ability score modifier to the damage of this attack, unless that modifier is negative.

Breacher

When you make a ranged attack at a creature within 15 feet of you and you roll a 1 or 2 on the damage die, you can reroll the damage die and must take the new roll, even if the number is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the scatter property in order to gain this benefit.

Deadeye

You get a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with martial and simple ranged weapons, as well as longarms which do not have the bulky or scatter property.

Dueling Edit

When wielding a one-handed weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you get a +2 bonus to your damage rolls with these weapons.

Sniper

You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls if you attack a creature further than 30 feet away from you with a ranged weapon or a firearm that does not have the scatter property.

Phalanx

You can now wield a two-handed melee weapon, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, or a longarm with a shield, but you must use an action to brace the weapon against the shield in order to attack with it. The weapon stays braced in this way as long as you move no more than 10 feet during your turn. The weapon loses any benefits you gain from using it with two hands while braced.

Giving Classes Guns

These proficiencies are also gained if a class gains weapon proficiencies when mutliclassed into.

---

Artificers and Clerics start with proficiency in sidearms and firearms with the scatter property.

---

Barbarians, due to their primitive nature and lack of understanding of complex technology, such as guns, cannot start with proficiency in firearms unless already given from another class, archetype, feat or special training, unless otherwise approved by the DM.

---

Bards start with proficiency in sidearms, muskets, rifles and carbines.

---

Druids cannot be proficient in firearms, as they are always made from metal in some measure. The DM can make exceptions to this. A character that multiclasses into a druid with proficiency in firearms can only do so if the DM approves it.

---

Fighters start with proficiency in longarms and sidearms. Fighters can choose from the breacher, deadeye, dueling edit, and phalanx fighting styles.

---

Monks start with proficiency in sidearms, but they do not count as monk weapons.

---

Mystics, Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards get proficiency in pistols, sawn-off shotguns, dragoons, and flintlock pistols.

---

Paladins start with proficiency in longarms and sidearms. Paladins can use firearms for Divine Smite, Improved Divine Smite, and any spells that would require them to take an attack with a melee weapon before taking effect, but you must be within at least 10 feet of the creature attacked to do so. Paladins can choose from the breacher, dueling edit, and phalanx fighting styles.

---

Rangers start with proficiency in longarms and sidearms. Rangers can choose from the akimbo shooter, deadeye, dueling edit and sniper fighting styles.

---

Rogues start with proficiency in sidearms, muskets, wheellock guns, carbines, and rifles.

Gunsmith Initiate

Prerequisite: Intelligence 13, proficiency in smith's tools or tinker's tools

Your proficiency bonus is doubled in tinker's tools and/or smith's tools, and you can now craft primitive firearms. You are assumed to have gotten the materials for the firearm you wish to craft before you took this feat. You craft these guns at a rate of 5gp per hour.

Gunsmith Adept

You have gone through extensive training in gunsmithing, letting you create new firearms via experimenting. You can now create firearms, found on the chart above. You can craft special firearms, as well as Attachments and Custom Parts, if it is appropriate for your setting (such as if firearms are prominent). Once per long rest, you can make an Intelligence check with your proficiency bonus added once you complete a short rest. If you succeed, you manage to craft the blueprints for the gun or parts (the DCs are listed on the charts above). If you fail, the DC goes down by 1 for subsequent checks (Minimum of 10).

Superior Marksman

You have perfected the art of the slow, steady kill. You gain the following benefits when wielding a ranged weapon with the bulky property:

• You gain a +1 to attack rolls with these weapons.
• You can use a bonus action to steady your aim. You can then make an attack roll that can neither have advantage or disadvantage. On a hit, deal double the weapon’s damage die.
• If you make a ranged attack roll with advantage, you can reroll one of the attack rolls once.

Suppressive Fire

When you have a firearm with the automatic or burst fire property drawn, you can use an action to suppress a field of fire within a 10 foot radius at any point within your weapon's normal range. This ability expends a number of bullets equal to half your firearm's total reload count when used. You cannot take bonus actions if you take this action. You must have at least half your gun's reload count loaded into your weapon to use this ability. When you use this ability, you gain the following benefits until the beginning of your next turn.

• Creatures within the area have disadvantage on attack rolls and Dexterity Saving Throws.
• Creatures within the area can only move at half speed and cannot Dash.
• If any creatures move or take an action within the area or moves into its area for the first time, you can make an attack against them. You can make this attack for a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus. You cannot make this attack at the same creature more than once. This attack does not expend ammunition.

Tricky

You have trained in a performance art with firearms that allows you to use special tricks during combat. You gain the following benefits:

• You learn two tricks of your choice from among those available to the Virtuoso Archetype in the gunslinger class. If a trick requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the trick's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Dexterity modifier.
• If you already have superiority dice, you gain two more, otherwise, you have two superiority dice. These are used to fuel your tricks. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.
• If a trick's effect includes a modifier that equals your Gunslinger level, you instead treat that modifier as equal to your highest class level instead.

The Gunslinger

A Human finishes loading rounds into her gun and and runs straight into a pack of angry kobolds that are threatening her town. She tumbles and spins, her weapon burping out salvo after salvo of hot lead against the poorly armed draconians with naught but simple spears to use against her.

Setting his perch up at the top of a tree, a Half Elf begins to train the custom built sights of his homemade rifle on his prize. Amidst the roaming herd of goblins and hobgoblins, there stands a single, massive fire giant shouting commands to the monsters near the edge of a cliff. As he lets out a haughty guffaw, the half-elf sees his opening. His lips curl into a grin, and he pulls the trigger.

The sound of rapid clops echoes across the battlefield. A group of goblins tries to close in on a tiefling and her horse. One of them throws a bomb at her horses feet, but in a flash, the horse and its rider suddenly dart to the side, and the bomb explodes among the crowd of pursuers instead, leaving the tiefling unharm

A half orc examines a strange puzzle before him, holstering his gun after checking that the coast is clear. He looks befudded at it for a moment, before shrugging and messing around with it. With a click, the puzzle opens, and the half-orc smiles a giddy smile.

Whether outlaws from a distant land trying to redeem themselves, swashbucklers with an eye for the explosive, or smiths that wish to show off their talents to the world in the heat of battle, gunslingers come from many backgrounds, but all have one thing in common. They’re all very good with guns, and use unique fighting styles and speed to strike down any foe that challenges them with less advanced weaponry.

Using Unique Weapons With Style

Though this is heavily dependent on the adventure being run, guns are considered very rare in most adventures, and few know how to operate them. Their exotic nature can lead to confusion and panic among those at the business end of these tools. Gunslingers take advantage of this and combine the usage of these guns with a stylistic grace and speed very few can comprehend. A Gunslinger will hone their skills with these distributors of supersonic lead death and become nearly impossible to track as they strike targets with nearly impossible shots

---

Born for Adventure

Most adventurers seek adventure out. Others have it thrust upon them. Gunslingers seem to have been born with a natural affinity and curiosity for exploration and dealing with the problems out in the wild. You'll find them at the job board before any paladin or fighter, and they'll be eager to take on the challenges of the darkest and most dangerous dungeons. The more challenging the encounter, the greater use they'll get out of their pride and joy.

Creating a Gunslinger

When creating a gunslinger, consider two major things. Firstly, consider how rare guns are in the adventure your DM is running, and then consider how your character came across their knowledge of how to make and use them? Did they have a eureka moment in a time of renaissance? Did they train with a mentor before deciding to go on their own path? Or did they form a pact with a dark entity for this knowledge? Either way, their background should lead them to come across these deadly tools for use in their adventures.

Quick Build

To quickly build a gunslinger, make Dexterity your highest ability score. Secondly, choose an ability score of your choice to be the second highest. This could be Constitution if you want a hardier gunslinger with more health, Charisma if you want a fast talking slinger that can play a mean tune, Intelligence if you want a gunslinger that's well learned and booksmart, or Wisdom if you want a worldy and perceptive master of firearms. Lastly, choose the Folk Hero background.

Class Features

As a Gunslinger, you get the following class features.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d8 per Gunslinger level
Hit Points at 1st level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 or 5 + your Constitution modifier per Gunslinger level after 1st

Proficiencies

Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields

Weapons: Longarms, sidearms, simple weapons, crossbows, shortswords, scimitars, rapiers, whips
Tools: A vehicle or musical instrument of your choice
Saving Throws: Dexterity, Charisma
Skills: Choose two from: Arcana, Acrobatics, Animal Handling, History, Insight, intimidation, Investigation, Perception, Performance, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, or Survival

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) scale mail or (b) leather
• (a) a carbine and 20 cartridge rounds, (b) a shotgun and 20 buckshot rounds, or (c) a heavy pistol and 20 cartridge rounds
• (a) a shortsword, a pistol and 10 cartridge rounds, (b) two pistols and 20 cartridge rounds, or (c) a simple weapon and a shield
• (a) a dungeoneer’s pack, (b) an explorer’s pack, or (c) a scholar’s pack

---

Variant Rule: Firearms are Primitive

If firearms are primitive in your world, you may instead choose the following equipment variations.

• (a) a wheellock gun and 20 musketballs, (b) a blunderbuss and 20 spreadshot rounds, or (c) a pepperbox and 20 musketballs
• (a) two simple weapons, (b) two flintlock pistols and 20 musketballs, or (c) a shield

The Tongue

Starting at 1st level, you learn an ancient and ritualized language, practiced often by gunslingers and certain secretive societies of old. It is a deliberate and ritualized code of speech patterns and dialect, each syllable containing complex nuances and multiple meanings. Nowadays, only gunslingers and certain guilds opened by the people of the past still know and actively teach this language. This language can only be understood by those that know the tongue.

Additionally, you understand and can write in a set of ancient symbols and written jargon that conveys the messages of the tongue in deceptively short inscriptions. This writing is generally used to tell stories or to write down spells and rituals, and books containing the tongue are treasures often sought out by linguists and wizards alike due to the potential of finding lost magic or rich historical lore contained within in their text.

Quickdraw

Also at 1st level, your hands are fast as lightning in a shootout. You can stow one weapon and/or draw another as part of your movement or action before needing to take the Use Object action. Additionally, you ignore the loading times for firearms.

Gun Stunts

Starting at 1st level, you have developed a set of stunts you can use to give you an edge in combat. You gain the following options:
Run ‘N Gun. When you take the attack action on your turn, you can move up to 10 feet as a bonus action.
Slinger’s Reflexes. You can use a bonus action to clear the chamber of a gun that misfired.
Stock Strike. When you make a melee weapon attack using a firearm on your turn, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. Additionally, if the attack hits, you can use your bonus action to not provoke opportunity attacks from the target of the attack until the end of your turn.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting. Choose one of the following options. You cannot choose the same fighting style twice, even if you get to choose again.

Akimbo Shooting

When you take the attack action with a light weapon, you can use a bonus action to make an attack with a light ranged weapon you are holding in your other hand. You do not add your ability score modifier to the damage of this attack, unless that modifier is negative.

Breacher

When you hit with a ranged attack roll, you roll a 1 or 2 on the damage die, you can reroll the damage die and must take the new roll, even if the number is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the scatter property in order to gain this benefit.

Deadeye (Archery Edit)

You get a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with martial and simple ranged weapons, as well as longarms which do not have the bulky or scatter property.

Dueling Edit

When wielding a one-handed weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you get a +2 bonus to your damage rolls with these weapons. This additional damage only applies for ranged attacks made at creatures within 30 feet of you.

Sniper

You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls if you attack a creature further than 30 feet away from you with a ranged weapon or a firearm that does not have the scatter property.

Phalanx

You can now wield a two-handed melee weapon, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, or a longarm with a shield, but you must use an action to brace the weapon against the shield in order to attack with it.

The weapon stays braced in this way as long as you move no more than 10 feet during your turn. The weapon loses any benefits you gain from using it with two hands while braced.

Lucky Item

When you reach 2nd level, you have taken up a personal effect that grants you uncanny luck in certain situations and says something interesting about you.

This can take the form of a lucky hat that you never take off, a scarf given to you by a lost lover, or a cigar that seems to never run dry. Choose a benefit and a quirk from the table. You can use the benefit’s feature once per long rest. If your lucky item is lost or destroyed, it mysteriously reappears on you at the end of your next long rest.

When you reach 10th level, you can choose one additional benefit and quirk. You can choose the benefits labeled with slinger trails. You can use either of the benefits twice before you complete a long rest.

Slinger’s Trail

At 3rd level, you begin to train your slinging to go down a particular style. You can choose from either Myth Breaker, Virtuoso, Vaquero, Delver, or Mysterious Stranger, all detailed at the end of the class description. The trail you choose grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 6th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th level, 12th level, 16th level, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As usual, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

At 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once when you take the attack action on your turn.

Additionally, when you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks to reload your weapon.

Evasion

At 7th level, your reflexes are as fast as any bullet you fire from your gun. When you make a Dexterity Saving Throw to take half damage from a damaging effect, such as a shotgun's scattering shells or a black dragon's acid breath, you take no damage on a successful save and only half damage on a failed save.

Shootout Sense

By 11th level, you are ready to react to danger at a moment's notice. You gain advantage on initiative rolls.

Additionally, you can't be surprised while you are conscious.

Overwatch

At 14th level, you can use an action to lie in wait to take an action against any enemy that reveals itself. If a creature moves, makes a weapon attack, or casts a spell while within your firearm's range, you can use your reaction to make an attack against them.

Saving Throws. Overwatch requires targets to make a saving throw to resist the penalites imposed on them. The Saving throw DC is as follows:

On a hit, the following effects are imposed in addition to the attack's normal effects.

• If the attack was triggered by the target's movement, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, its movement speed is reduced by half until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, their speed is only reduced by 10 until the end of your next turn.
• If the attack was triggered by the creature making a weapon attack, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it has disadvantage on attack rolls until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, it only has disadvantage on the triggering attack.
• If the attack was triggered by the creature casting a spell, it must make a Cosntitution save. On a failed save, the target(s) of the spell have advantage on the saving throw to resist the effects of the spell, in addition all targeted creatures gain resistence to the spells damage. If the spell requires a spell attack roll it would be made with disadvantage.

Final Stand

Starting at 15th level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points and don’t die outright, you can use your reaction before you fall unconscious to make an attack roll at an enemy. This attack is made with disadvantage. If the attack hits, you gain hit points equal to 1d8 + your gunslinger level. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Superhuman Reflexes

At 18th level, a you have sharpened your reflexes to supersonic proportions. You now get the following benefits:

• You can use Disengage and Dodge as a bonus action.
• Once per short rest, when you are hit by a ranged attack, you can reduce the damage of that attack to 0.
• You can use two gun stunts as a bonus action once per short or long rest.

Gunslinging Trails

At level 3, you begin to train yourself in various principles of gunfighting. These choices are less like classical training and more like lifestyles and philosophies. You may choose from the Myth Breaker, Virtuoso, Vaquero, or Delver trails.

Myth Breaker

Myth Breakers specialize in hunting down and dealing with the most dangerous of beasts. They hunt down anything from ancient dragons to beholders with extreme precision and skill. Determined and well researched in a variety of lore, myth breakers are experts in hunting down that which makes the average person tremble in fear.

Myth Breaker's Tactics

When you choose this trail at 3rd level, you can choose from one of the following tactics that help you slay various monstrosities.

Crowd Control. Your quick trigger finger lends itself well to killing hordes of creatures. Once per turn, when you make a firearm attack roll against a creature, you can make an additional attack against a creature that's within 5 feet of the targeted creature and in range of your firearm.

Legend Buster. The crack of your gunshot is a symbol of teamwork as you mark powerful targets for death. When you succeed a firearm attack roll against a creature, the next attack made against the offending creature deals an extra d8 damage on a hit. You can only use this ability on one creature per turn.

Leviathan Feller. Your skill with a gun can send even big monstrosities reeling. When you hit with a firearm attack roll against a creature, you can push them back 10 feet from you in the direction you hit them. This forced move can only be done once per turn.

Varmint Slayer. You have a knack for landing precision shots that help you hit small or dodgy pests. You get advantage with firearm attacks on creatures that have moved further than 15 feet or taken the dodge or disengage action before your turn.

Showstopper. Creatures with exotic movements are no match for your expertly placed shots. If you hit with a firearm attack roll on a creature, it must succeed a Strength saving throw or have its flying speed, swim speed, climbing speed, walking speed and burrowing speed reduced by half, or become 0 if it was 5 feet until the end of its next turn. You can only use this ability once per turn.

Slayer's Senses

Once you reach 6th level, you've learned a set of magical rituals to help you detect the presence of great and legendary beasts. You learn the detect good and evil spell, and can cast it as ritual.

Monstrous Defense

At 9th level, you can learn one of the following defensive tactics that add to your monster hunting skillset.

Critter Sense. Your dedication to tracking dangerous pests has allowed you to develop senses to help hunt them down. You gain 15 feet of blindsight and tremorsense, and creatures cannot get advantage on attack rolls or benefit from being hidden or invisible while within 15 feet of you, as long as you are not incapacitated.

Uncanny Dodge. You always keep your eyes about you, making surprise attacks from above and below difficult. When a creature damages you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve that damage against you.

Into the Fray. Creatures that crowd upon you find it quite hard to attack you. When a hostile creature makes an attack roll against you while another hostile creature is within 5 feet of you or it, the creature makes the roll with disadvantage.

Mythical Guardian. When keeping track of legendary creatures, your hunter's senses heighten your defense. You can end one effect on yourself causing you to be charmed or poisoned as an action.

Slayer's Discipline. You are stalwart in the face of any kind of danger. You get proficiency in a saving throw of your choice.

Strength In Knowledge

When you reach 13th level, you have augmented your mind and strengthened your resolve against the horrors out in the great beyond. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, frightened, petrified, paralyzed or poisoned.

Legendary Overwatch

By the time you reach 17th level, you are able to stop the most fearsome creatures right in their tracks with nothing but your bullets. If you make a successful overwatch attack against a creature, you can make it suffer the following effects:

• If the creature is moving, it is stunned until the end of your next turn.
• If the creature is making an attack roll, it automatically fails that attack roll and cannot make any more attacks until the end of your next turn.
• If it is casting a spell or forcing a creature or creatures to make a saving throw, the spell or area of effect attack automatically fails, dealing no damage if it would normally do so. If the creature was casting a spell, the spell slot is wasted.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Virtuoso

Virtuosos don’t see guns as just a mere tool of destruction, they see them as an art form that they wish to master. Those who chose to train as virtuosos collect and train with as many guns as possible in to become more versatile and powerful shooters whose skill and showmanship is unrivaled.

The Art of Lead

Starting when you choose this trail at level 3, Virtuosos get a bevy of special skills enhanced by special dice called superiority dice.

Tricks. You learn three tricks of your choice, which are detailed under "tricks" below. Many tricks enhance an attack or assist allies/debilitate enemies in some way, shape or form. You can only use one trick per attack.

You learn two additional tricks at 9th level, 13th level, and 17th level. Each time you learn a new trick, you can also replace one Trick you know with a different one.

Superiority Dice. You have four superiority dice, which are d8s, to spend on Tricks. When you use a superiority die, it's expended. You regain all your superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest. You get an additional superiority die at 9th level, and one more at 17th level.

Superiority Dice Improvements. Superiority dice turn into d10s at 9th level and d12s at 17th level.

Saving Throws. Some of your Tricks require your target to make a saving throw to resist the trick's effects. The save DC is calculated as follows:

Fast & Low

Once you reach 6th level, you can weave in and out of combat with the greatest of ease. You can spend 1 superiority die to use Disengage as a bonus action.

Head In The Game

At 9th level, you are constantly on top of your game, and are always ready for action. You add your Charisma modifier to your initiative rolls.

Additionally, you gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.

Skilled & Witty

Starting at 13th level, you have become an epitome of expertise and sheer skill, both on and off the battlefield. You learn an additional skill, tool, or language of your choice. Alternatively, you can choose a skill or tool you are proficient in. Double your proficiency bonus for checks made using that skill or tool.

Additionally, you get advantage on Persuasion and Intimidation checks when trying to defuse a fight.

Trick Prodigy

By the time you reach 17th level, you regain 1 superiority die if you roll initiative and have no superiority dice remaining.

Tricks

These tricks will be listed in alphabetical order.

Break Cover. Spend a superiority die to attack a creature in cover with an attack roll. Add the number rolled to the attack's damage. This attack ignores any cover bonuses the target is benefiting from.

Commander's Strike. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks and use a bonus action to direct one of your companions to strike. When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you and expend one superiority die. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack, adding the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.

Concussive Attack. When you make a successful weapon attack, you can spend a superiority die and add the number rolled to the attack's damage. You cause your target to be discombobulated, imposing disadvantage on the next attack they make.

Disarming Attack. Make an attack roll and expend a superiority die and add the number rolled to the attack's damage. If it succeeds, you force the creature hit to drop one of its held items. The creature must make a Strength saving throw. If they fail, they drop the held item down to their feet.

Disorienting Attack. When you make a successful weapon attack, you can spend a superiority die to disorient them, giving allies an opening. The next attack roll that's made against the target has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn. Add the result of your superiority die to the ally's attack roll.

Evasive Footwork. When you move, you can expend one superiority die, rolling the die and adding the number rolled to your AC until you stop moving.

Intercept. When an enemy that you can see makes a ranged spell attack or a ranged attack within your firearm's range, you can expend a superiority die in order to use a reaction to attempt to shoot it out of the air. Make a ranged weapon attack against the missile or spell. Add the number rolled on your superiority die to the attack roll. These missiles and ranged spells have an AC equal to the attack roll of the creature that shot or cast them. If you succeed, the attack automatically fails as you strike it and either interrupts its effects or knocks it off course. You can use this trick before or after the attack roll is made, but before it's revealed to be a hit or a miss.

Piercing Attack. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack, you can expend a superiority die to have the shot continue on through the target after hitting it in order to attempt to damage an additional creature. If the creature within range of your shot and in the same line as your shot would have been hit by your attack roll, they take damage equal to the number rolled on your superiority die + your Dexterity or Charisma modifier. The damage is the same as the type dealt by the original attack.

Precision Attack. When you make a weapon attack roll against a creature, you can expend one superiority die and add the number rolled to the roll. You can use this trick before or after making the attack roll, but before any effects of the attack are applied.

Rocket Jump. If you make a jump, you can spend a superiority die to make the jump with vim and vigor, adding the number rolled + your Dexterity modifier to that jump's distance.

Slinger's Luck. If your weapon would misfire, you can expend a superiority die in order to channel the inherent luck of your craft to avoid the misfire entirely. Add the number rolled on your superiority die to your next attack roll.

Trip Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to knock the target down. You add a superiority die to the attack’s damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you knock the target prone.

Warning Attack. When you miss a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend a superiority die to attempt to frighten the target as the shot whizzes past them. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. Subtract the result of your superiority die from their roll. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Vaquero

Vaqueros are born and raised in the life of the commonfolk, tending to ranches and animals. Because of this, they are experts at fighting on mounts. Vaqueros are speedy combatants that are hard to pin down, as well as experts at travel and exploration. This makes them naturally inclined to adventure.

Back in the Saddle

When you choose this trail at 3rd level, your expertise in mount riding shows forth as well. You have advantage on saving throws made to avoid falling off your mount. If you fall off your mount and descend no more than 10 feet, you can land on your feet if you’re not incapacitated.

Additionally, mounting or dismounting a creature costs you only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed.

Finally, when you Run 'N Gun, you can move an additional 5 feet. You can do this a number of times equal to your Dexterity modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Corraller

Once you reach 6th level, your wrangling skills start to shine forth. You gain advantage on Wisdom(Animal Handling) checks to control, calm, or tame mounts.

Galloping Gaucho

At 9th level, you are hard to pin down, whether you're mounted or not. If you've moved at least 20 feet in a straight line on your turn, you gain a bonus to your AC equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) until the start of your next turn.

Frontiersman

Starting at 13th level, you have become adept at surviving the toughest of conditions out in the wild. You are immune to poison and disease, and have advantage on saving throws and ability checks to resist being shoved or knocked prone.

Deft Evasiveness

By the time you reach 17th level, your vigilance to danger lets you dash in and out of danger with the greatest of ease. Creatures have disadvantage on opportunity attacks against you. Additionally, when you are subject to a damaging effect, such as a trap or a cone of cold spell, you can use your reaction to move 10 feet in any direction or command your mount to move 10 feet in any direction before making the saving throw to resist it. If this movement would place you outside of the area subject to the effect, you do not need to make a saving throw to resist it, and are not affected.

Delver

In the darkest tombs, the most cursed catacombs, and the deepest of dungeons, Delvers are right at home. Skilled navigators and experts at finding and procuring artifacts, they have a nose for trouble, and the right set of skills and know how to get out of any scrape.

Catacomb Crawler

When you choose this trail at 3rd level, your talent for raiding dungeons begins to truly surface.

You gain darkvision out to 60 feet if it do not have it already, and you can move while squeezed into a space smaller than yourself without spending extra movement.

Additionally, you gain proficiency in thieve’s tools and navigator’s tools, and get a climb speed of 20 feet.

Slapdash Ploy

At 6th level, you seem to perform your best work when you have no idea what you're doing. When you use a skill, make a saving throw, or make an attack roll with a weapon you are not proficient with, you can choose to add your proficiency bonus to the roll. You can do this before or after the roll is made, but before it is determined to be a success or failure.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Dungeon Adept

Starting at 9th level, you gain a knack for dealing with the dangers of dungeons and their eldritch inhabitants. You are resistant to damage dealt by traps. Additionally, you have advantage on checks you make to disarm traps or identify creatures.

Cave Runner

Starting at 13th level, you can dart out of any scrape you find yourself in. When you Run 'N Gun, you do not provoke opportunity attacks. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Dexterity modifier. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Ace in the Hole

By the time you reach 17th level, you have a trick up your sleeve that you can pull out the moment it is needed. At any time during another creature’s turn, you can use your reaction to immediately take an extra turn, interrupting the current turn. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you complete a long rest.

'Slinger's Mark

Despite their intense variety - to a point where it seems no two are quite the same - one fact remains consistent across every single gunslinger: each one has a distinct aspect of their appearance. This 'Slinger's Mark is almost as universally recognizable as the strange weapons they carry; good thieves and experienced fighters take it into account when sizing the gunslinger up - but, despite scholarly research into the subject, there is nothing innately arcane about the 'Slinger's Mark.

Consider your character’s personality - what sets them apart from others by their nature? To pursue firearms with the mind of a scholar and the taste of an artist requires a very special brand of person, with a personality to match. Your 'Slinger's Mark should reflect this inherently unique personality, and be consistent across the whole of your experience.

'Slinger's Mark

d6	Mark
1	You always have a holster strapped to your thigh, even when you aren't armed.
2	You wear a badge, carry a banner, or wear a piece of clothing that has the pattern of crossed guns stiched in.
3	When you walk around, you always keep one hand lowered towards your hip.
4	Ammunition is always held in your hand, and you constantly fidget with it.
5	You have a favorite hat you always wear on your head for whatever reason.
6	You have a fine appreciation for technology of all kinds.

Mishap

Though it may come as a surprise to the daft or sarcastic, gunslinging is a dangerous affair. To be a gunslinger is to have a firm grasp on your survival. It must never falter, for it is all that separates a gunslinger from a dead gunslinger. Thus, gunslingers are pockmarked by their many close-calls. Every scar has its story, often firmly lodged in the gunslinger’s mind as a warning to never make the same mistake twice.

Dead men may tell no tales, but scars definitely do. Consider how your gunslinger acquired them. Where is it on their body, who gave it to them, what were they doing at the time, and what did they learn from the experience?

Mishap

d6	Mishap
1	You are missing the tip of your thumb on your dominant hand.
2	Powder-burns cover your forearms, but don’t go higher than your elbows.
3	A long horizontal scar covers the side of your face, starting just below your eye and next to your nose, curving around to the nape of your neck.
4	A star-shaped scar covers your heart, with a twin shaped like the crescent moon on the opposite side of your body.
5	One of your ears is constantly ringing.
6	You get twitchy whenever you're around a certain item.

Home Memorabilia

They say “home is where the heart is”. For the eternally migratory gunslinger, this phrase rings distinctly true. Whether they are an urchin from the city, a nomadic tribesman, or a landowning baron’s child, a gunslinger on the road looks inward for their home. But, as they say: “though the mind is willing, the flesh is weak”. The longer they are away, the gunslinger will find that their thoughts of home will begin to fade alongside their fondest memories. Keenly aware of the steady ebbing of their resolve should such memories fade, many gunslingers choose to keep mementos to remind them of the past they left behind.

When choosing memorabilia, consider the values of your gunslinger. Why are they traveling, where are they going (in the literal and figurative sense), and where have they been? Did they start out on the road to escape persecution, and need constant reminder that you are just a step ahead of oblivion? Were they the victim of violence, and have started out to exact retribution or ensure it never happens to someone else? Were they simply bored, and wanted a change of scenery? The memorabilia a gunslinger carries is a window into both their past and their future.

Home Memorabilia

d6	Memorabilia
1	The first copper piece you ever earned.
2	A tear-stained scrap of paper with a broken promise.
3	A small bag filled with mud scraped from your boots.
4	A braid of red, brown, black, and blonde hair
5	A silver bullet, a copper bullet, and an obsidian bullet; a name is carved into each.
6	A cloth wrapped around a locket or a small frame containing a picture of the smiling face of a childhood friend.

Way of The Equilibrium

Monks who study the way of the equilibrium find their home in the chaos of battle, using light ranged weapons with a speed that turns them into a blur of pure speed and motion. They learn to link themselves with their weapons and weave their shots through the air as though they were extensions of their own body. Such mastery of shooting makes monks that follow down this path as deadly as any swordmaster in close combat.

Path of the Kata

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with hand crossbows and sidearms, which are your Kata weapons, and count as monk weapons for you. When wielding these weapons, you gain the following benefits:

• You do not need a free hand to reload a light weapon with the loading or reload property.
• You can make an attack with these weapons as part of your martial arts or flurry of blows features. If you do, these attacks use your martial arts die instead of its normal weapon damage.
• When you first make a successful attack roll with these weapons, the next 10 feet of your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.

You can spend a ki point to reload any weapon with the reload property as a bonus action.

One With The Projectile

When you reach 6th level, your Kata weapons count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity. You can apply stunning strike to your Kata weapons, as long as the attack is made within their normal range. Your Kata weapons also count as improvised melee weapons for you, and you use your martial arts die + your Dexterity or Strength bonus on a hit with them.

You can use a bonus action to make your Kata weapons deadlier. On a hit, these attacks deal extra damage equal to your martial arts die. You only gain this benefit once per turn.

Kata Defense

At 11th level, you have perfected your form with your guns so that your flurry of shots makes you and your allies harder to hit. If you move 20 feet before you make a ranged weapon attack with your Kata weapons, the next attack made against you is done with disadvantage.

Additionally, you can spend 3 ki points when a creature makes a ranged weapon attack against a creature that is friendly to you to use deflect missile as you shoot the projectile, throwing it off course or causing it to miss entirely. You must have the ammunition available to be able to use this move.

Bullet Soul

Once you reach 17th level, you are able to channel your innate ki powers to empower your furious flurry of strikes. When you make an attack with your Kata weapon, you can spend 4 ki points to cause that attack to deal additional damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.

College of Gunmetal

Bards of the college of gunmetal are downright obsessed with guns. They are experts in performing trick shots and doing stunts with their firearms and explosive weapons that lends well to them being effective on the field of
adventuring and dungeon crawling. Members of
these colleges are often called many names, from
explosive artists, guns for hire, to less flattering
names like gun nuts and desperados.

Gunmetal bards are no strangers to danger, and
their expertise in using lead spewing weapons makes
them downright intimidating foes to have against you.
A gunmetal bard that knows how to precisely weave
their magic in with their gunslinging will find a welcome home in any adventurer’s guild or shady underground organization.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Gunmetal at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, flintlock pistols, and pepperboxes. If the setting allows for it, you also gain proficiency in pistols and heavy pistols.

If you’re proficient with a ranged weapon, longarm or sidearm, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.

Fighting Style

At 3rd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if something in the game lets you choose again.

Akimbo Shooting

When you take the attack action with a light weapon, you can use a bonus action to make an attack with a light ranged weapon you are holding. You do not add your ability score modifier to the damage of this attack, unless that modifier is negative.

Dueling Edit

When wielding a one-handed weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you get a +2 bonus to your damage rolls with these weapons.

Gunplay

Also at 3rd level, you've trained yourself to interweave the use of their guns into your performance in combat. Whenever you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use one of the following Gunplay options of your choice. You can only use one Gunplay option per turn.

Disorienting Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the firearm to deal extra damage to the target you hit and leave it open. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die. The next attack roll made against the creature is made with advantage.

Dueling Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration die before you make an attack with a firearm to issue a challenge to a creature as you attack it with precision. Add the number rolled to the attack roll. If it hits, the creature has disadvantage on attacks against creatures other than you until the start of your next turn.

Piercing Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target hit and any other creature of your choice in the same line as your shot. The damage equals the number you roll on your Bardic Inspiration die.

Trick Shot. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration before you make an attack with a firearm to move up to half your walking speed in any direction. Add the number rolled on your Bardic Inspiration die to the damage roll. You also add the number rolled to your AC until the start of your next turn.

Iron Reflexes

Starting at 6th level, your reflexes become razor sharp. When you hit a creature with a Gunplay feature, you do not provoke opportunity attacks from that creature.

Additionally, when a creature misses you with a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make a weapon attack at that creature.

Gunplay Magic

When you reach 14th level, whenever you use a Gunplay option, you can roll a d6 and use it instead of expending a Bardic Inspiration die. Additionally, when you use your action to cast a bard spell, you can use your bonus action to make a weapon attack.

Gunpowder Domain

Clerics of the gunpowder domain seek to spread the word of their god through explosive weapons. They tend to be conquerers, protectors, or holy guardsman. Some even organize into special forces, reacting quickly to dangerous threats from beyond. Any diety can call this domain theirs, but they tend to be of lawful or neutral alignment.

Gunpowder Domain Spells

Cleric Level	Spells
1st	ice bayonet, frag blast
3rd	branding smite, arc cannon
5th	crash bullets, conjure barrage
7th	drop shield, overcharging smite
9th	conjure firing squad, wall of force

Bonus Proficiency

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in longarms and sidearms.

Holy Gunfighter

Starting at 1st level, your connection with your deity makes your gun strikes quick as lightning. You ignore the loading times and the reload property for longarms and sidearms. When you take the attack action on your turn, you can make one firearm attack roll as a bonus action.

You can use the bonus attack feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Channel Divinity: Divine Bullet

At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity as a bonus action to infuse your gun with a bullet charged with divine energy. You can add your Wisdom modifier to your next firearm attack roll. On a hit, the bullet deals additional radiant damage equal to 2 + your cleric level (rounded down). Any creature of your choosing within 5 feet of the target takes radiant damage equal to half the damage dealt with the attack roll.

Channel Divinity: Godly Guidance

Once you reach 6th level, when making an attack roll with a firearm, you can use your Channel Divinity to implore your deity to guide your shot. You can make an attack roll at any creature within range, even if you cannot see them or if they are in full cover, as long as you are aware of them. Such creatures get a +3 bonus to their AC.

Holy Spellshot

When you reach 8th level, you can infuse your divine magic within a single bullet you fire. When you make a firearm attack roll, you can choose to cast a cantrip through the bullet instead. This spell cannot target more than one creature, and cannot have a range of self. Make the attack roll using your Wisdom modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier. The bullet itself deals no damage, but if the spell requires a saving throw to be resisted, the creature automatically fails the save. If the spell requires an attack roll, it automatically succeeds, and is treated as a critical if the firearm attack was a critical.

At 14th level, you can use this feature when you cast a Cleric spell of 1st level or higher.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Explosive Apotheosis

Once you reach 17th level, your affinity for guns and gunpowder makes you resistant to fire, thunder and lightning damage.

Additionally, when you hit with a firearm attack or cast a damaging cleric spell that targets only one creature, you can cause the bullet or the spell to explode, dealing extra damage equal to your cleric level to the creature and any creatures within 10 feet of it. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier per long rest.

Path of the Dakka

Barbarians are close quarters fighters to the death, going into a feral rage and slashing, bashing and smashing things until they are nothing but a bloody pulp. But some have learned how to channel that rage into the power of a loaded ranged weapon, dishing out as much damage as they can while right in the thick of things.

Needs More Dakka

You like to shoot. You like to shoot a lot, and you like to shoot often, and you never want to stop. At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in firearms if you are not already. While raging, you can use Strength, instead of Dexterity, for your ranged attack rolls when you make them within at least 10 feet of the target, as you fire from the hip with no regard for finesse or aiming, pointing at something and shooting until it dies. Also, you cannot get disadvantage on ranged attack rolls when another hostile creature is within 5 feet of you while raging.

Additionally, while raging, you can fire out a stream of projectiles in your bloodlust. When you take the attack action on your turn with a ranged weapon, you can use your bonus action to make a ranged attack roll at a creature within 5 feet of you.

Rage Loading

At 6th level, your rage fuels your barrage, and the ammo count of your weapons cannot stop you. While raging, you ignore the loading property for ranged weapons you are proficient in.

Loose Cannon

Your stream of projectiles cannot be stopped, and being struck only spurns you to shoot more. When you reach 10th level, when you take damage, you can use your reaction to fire your weapons wildly at creatures as a reaction to taking damage. Any creatures of your choosing within 10 feet of you that you can see must succeed a Dexterity saving throw. The DC of this save is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier. On a failed save, they take damage equal to d10 + your barbarian level. The damage is the same type as the ranged weapon you used. On a successful save, they take half as much damage.

Always More, Never Enough

There ain't no such thing as too much dakka, and at 14th level, you intend to prove such an obvious fact. While raging, you can use Strength, instead of Dexterity, for your ranged attack rolls when you make them within 15 feet of a target.

Additionally, while raging, you can take a special action that allows you to fire your ranged weapon at any creature within 10 feet of you that you can see. On a hit, deal damage as normal and the creature is pushed back 5 feet.

Oath of The Frontier

Paladins are usually known as white armored smooth featured defenders who protect the weak with a sword in one hand and a shield or prayer book in the other. But some Paladins are starting to see the appeal of these iron lead spewing weapons that are being created. In fact, a select few have deigned to follow a god or create an oath based around using such weapons as the stream upon which their holy wrath flows. They seek out the new frontiers in which to spread their deity's influence, and root out ne’er do wells wherever they hide.

Tenants of the Frontier

Tenants of the frontier may vary from Paladin to Paladin, but they all revolve around exploring new places and rooting out evil in order to protect truth, justice, and tradition. Paladins of this alignment tend toward lawful good or lawful neutral. It’s rare to see them turn towards evil. The core rules for this oath are as listed.

Lead The Frontier. You are to lead the charge in the endless quest of discovery and and the conquest of the wilds.

Root out the Truth. You will walk into the darkness and root out the truth in any matter. Nothing can hide from your gaze, and no wool shall go over your eyes.

Greed Is The Enemy. Goods and money in the frontier must be divided fairly, and those who take more than what is fair are wrong to do so.

Warden

Wardens are rangers that are the mysterious guardians of both urban cities and dense jungles. They watch over their territory with keen eyes, ready to defend the weak wherever they may be attacked. They appear in a flash and disappear with a crack like lightning. Wardens, unlike most rangers, have taken up a path of lead and iron to help them defend others, and their keen senses make them excellent marksmen, both from the treetops, and from up close.

Ever Vigilant

At 15th level, you have become a vigilant guardian for all those you protect, be it from close range or afar.

If you hit, the creature's attack or spell automatically fails, dealing no damage if it would normally do so. If they were casting a spell, the spell slot is wasted.

Black Powder Soul

Some people have to train their entire lives in the delicate science of using the explosive gunpowder in a weaponized form. You, however, are born with a special kind of magic running through your blood that allows you to channel the properties of this very compound through your attacks. Perhaps your parents made a deal with a god of the forge to give you such a boon, or maybe your birth was marked as a sign of progress upon the world, the special explosive blood within you allowing you to spark the flames of technological advancement in weaponry.

Tastiness	Cookie Type
1st	frag blast
3rd	magic weapon
5th	crash bullet

Black Dust Affinity

Once you reach 6th level, you can channel the explosive energy in your soul outwards to give your firearm attacks and spells an extra kick. When you make an attack roll with firearms, you can expend a number of sorcery points, up to 6 to cause the round to explode with magical energy. The attack deals an additional damage of its type equal to 2 + the number of points spent, and the ammunition explodes. Creatures within 5 feet of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. They take (the number of sorcery points spent)d4 thunder or fire damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful save.

Additionally, when you make a spell attack roll or cast a spell that deals damage and targets only one creature, you can expend 2 sorcery points to cause the spell to explode in a flurry of bullets and fire. Creatures within 10 feet of the target must succeed a Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d10 fire and 1d10 piercing damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful save. The amount of piercing and fire damage increases to 2d10 when you reach 13th level, and 3d10 when you reach 17th level.

As an action, you can draw any two firearms of your choice and fuse them to yourself, forming your arms into the guns themselves for 1 hour. You must have both hands free to do this, and cannot wield a shield for the duration. After the duration, the weapons unfuse from your arms and fall to the ground.

While the weapons are fused, you do not need a free hand to load them, and you can still use the somatic components of spells.

You can cast any spell that does not consume a material component with a cost. If you take the attack or cast a spell action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to fire one of the fused weapons as a bonus action. You do not add your Dexterity modifier to the damage of this attack, unless that modifier is negative.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

If they succeed the saving throw, they are immune to this ability for 24 hours.

When you do this, your movement speed is halved, you cannot take reactions, and attacks against you are made with advantage until the end of your next turn.

The Frontier Flames

Sometimes, when a world experiences a strong surge of determination for a cause or virtue, such a virtue can manifest into its own magical force. It is not an entirely sentient entity, but rather a manifiestation of the strongest ideals and emotions. This is one of those entities, representative of the strong compulsion to explore new places and exact justice upon those who would hurt others. Sometimes, such an entity can possess magical power to distribute. You have made a pact with this entity, which manifets itself as an undying flame, and are able to draw upon its boundless magical energy to exact justice on the lawless and go where no ordinary person would ever go.

Alignment Restrictions

Evil creatures can understand the importance of justice, and chaotic creatures can see the usefulness of the law. But chaotic evil creatures cannot comprehend such intricacies in their black hearts, nor do most want to. Chaotic evil creatures cannot take The Frontier Flames as their patron. The DM can waive this restriction to better suit their campaign.

Its wood is a black, unbreakable charcoal, and its barrel is blood red. Flames seem to surround the trigger that don't hurt you when you put your finger inside it. When you hit a creature with its ammunition, you can expend a spell slot to deal an additional 2d8 fire damage to the target per spell level that ignores resistance and immunity.

Gun Mage

Gun mages are wizards who have devoted themselves to te study of both firearms and magic. They take to inscribing their favorite spells on their guns, using their favored weapons as conduits for their magic. Generally wizards will stick to just casting spells, but gun mages learn how to use both with equal efficiency.

Slinger's Training

When you choose this tradition at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light armor and one sidearm of your choice. You also gain proficiency in Smith's Tools and the Insight skill if you do not have it already.

Gun Inscription

Starting at 2nd level, you can inscribe your learned magic into guns. Guns you inscribe on are treated as a spellbook which you can store a certain number of spells on. Guns store up to 3 spells at 2nd level, can store one additional spell at 6th, 10th and 14th level. You can change all of the inscriptions over the course of one day (8 hours) of work and expending 5 x the spell's level gp of raw materials per inscription changed. You can only inscribe spells into guns that have a casting time of 1 action or 1 bonus action. These spells are always considered prepared for you, and do not count against the number of wizard spells you can prepare per day.

You can cast these spells through inscribed guns. The gun acts as your spellcasting focus and fulfills the somatic and material requirements for these spells, as long as the materials have no value (such as 500gp worth of diamonds).

Spells cast through your gun give you additional properties:

• If you cast an abjuration spell through your gun, give you or a creature of your choice within 30 feet of you for an amount of temporary hit points equal to five times the spell's level.
• If you cast a conjuration spell through your gun, you get a magial boost of speed, surrounded by a blue mist. Until the end of your next turn, your movement speed increases by 5 x the spell's level in feet.
• If you cast a divination spell through your gun, you gain a temporary insight into the future. You have advantage on saving throws for a number of rounds equal to the level of the spell.
• If you cast an enchantment spell through your gun, you gain an aura of allure about you. Creatures within 30 feet of you have disadvantage on attack rolls made against you.
• If you cast an evocation spell through your gun, the next attack roll you make deals additional force damage equal to (the spell's level)d10.
• If you cast an illusion spell through your gun, your form becomes ghostly and glitchy, and you seem to move without hinderance. Your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks for a number of rounds equal to the spell's level.
• If you cast a necromancy spell through your gun, your form temporarily assumes a frightening appearance. Choose a creature within 30 feet of you. That creature must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you for a number of rounds equal to the spell's level.
• If you cast a transmutation spell through your gun, the leftover energy transfers into a protective shield around you. You gain +2 to your AC for a number of rounds equal to the spell's level.

You can only benefit from one gun spell property per round until you reach 10th level.

If you have inscribed a spell that has a range of self and casting time of 1 action, you can cast it as a bonus action.

War Adept

At 6th level, your training for battle and war reaches new heights. Your quick wit in battle lets you add your Intelligence modifier to your initiative rolls. You gain proficiency in another longarm or sidearm of your choice. As long as you are wielding a gun and wearing light armor or have mage armor cast on yourself, you have advantage on concentration saving throws.

Spellshot

When you reach 10th level, you can infuse magic within a single bullet you fire. When you make a firearm attack roll on your turn, you can choose to cast a spell through the bullet instead. This spell cannot target more than one creature, and cannot have a range of self. Make the attack roll using your Intelligence modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier. The bullet itself deals no damage, but if the spell requires a saving throw to be resisted, the creature automatically fails the save. If the spell requires an attack roll, it automatically succeeds, and is treated as a critical if the firearm attack was a critical.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Combat Magic

Once you reach 14th level, you have mastered the art of gunslinging and magic, shooting and casting with equal efficiency. When you use your action to cast a spell, you can make one firearm attack roll as a bonus action.

Covenant of The Augmented

Mortals have been fascinated by automated constructs since the creation of the first golem. Some people studied ways to make their machines better, while others seek to become the very constructs they created for the promise of power and immortality with the right maintenance. Those tend to follow the Covenant of the Augmented. They seek to dabble in a little bit of both.

The Augmented Covenant Quirks

d6	Quirk
1	Your emotions are dampened, even in tense situations.
2	You have an affinity for weapons that some would call obsessive.
3	You cannot stand getting dirty or dusty.
4	You sleep completely rigid and with both eyes open.
5	Your voice takes on an almost mechanical nature
6	You find pleasure in taking mechanical objects apart and putting them back together.

Armored Charger

When you join this covenant at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in heavy armor. You can wear heavy armor and still use quick step and other slayer features where light armor is otherwise required. You cannot wield a shield and still gain this benefit.

Additionally, if you quick step into a creature's space, it must succeed a Strength saving throw against your Slayer spell save DC. On a failed save, it takes nonmagical bludgeoning damage equal to your imbue arms die and is pushed back 5 feet. On a successful save, it takes half that damage and is not pushed. At 6th level, this damage becomes magical.

Grafted

Also at 3rd level, your augmentations have given you a litany of special abilities for use in combat.

Shock Absorbers. You can add your Dexterity modifier to your long jump and high jump. You are resistant to falling damage, and you can use your Occult Studies feature to reduce any falling damage you take.

Grafted Weapons. You get armored weapons. They can be either ranged weapon (ammunition, loading, range 10/30) or melee weapon, such as piston powered punches or a wrist mounted gun, which deal 1d4 piercing, slashing or bludgeoning damage on a hit If you take the attack action with at least one free hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with these weapons.

Grafted Armor. Your body becomes as tough as iron. Your AC increases by 2 when you are not wearing heavy armor or wielding a shield.

Improved Grafting

When you reach 6th level, you have upgraded your senses. You no longer need to eat or sleep. You gain 10 feet of a special sense called motionsense. You are immediately aware of the presence of any creature that moves or takes an action while within this sight. Creatures cannot get advantage on attacks as a result of being hidden from you while within range of this sense.

At 14th level, this motionsense range increases to 30 feet, and creatures within that sense cannot benefit from being invisible while within range of this sense if they move more than half their speed on each of their turns.

Additionally, your damage die from your grafted weapons becomes d6, and, while imbued, they are considered magic weapons. At 14th level, while imbued, your grafted weapons offer a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.

Arcane Shields

At 14th level, you can spend a Pact Magic slot to gain temporary shielding around yourself that serves as protection for you. These temporary hit points last for 1 hour. You gain temporary hit points equal to your Slayer level. While you have any of these temporary hit points, you are resistant to all damage. If you begin your turn without the maximum amount of these hit points remaining, roll your Occult Studies die. Regain that amount of these hit temporary hit points.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Overclock

When you reach 20th level, you can use your bonus action to overcharge your augmentations and turn into a true killing machine, working your mortal body and machine parts to their limits. You gain the following benefits:

• Your movement speed is doubled, and you can quick step twice. The second quick step must be done as a bonus action. You cannot use the Armored Charger feature more than once on your turn. You can take the Dash, Dodge, or Disengage action as a bonus action.
• You are immune to falling damage, and your jumping distance is tripled. You can perform a special action known as a Meteor Strike when landing your jump. For every 10 feet you fall, you deal d6 force damage to all creatures within 15 feet of you, to a maximum of 20d6. A successful Strength saving throw halves this damage.
• Your grafted weapons damage becomes d10.
• You have advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws and checks, cannot be knocked prone, paralyzed, or restrained and you reduce any forced move imposed on you by half.
• You add force to the list of damage types you can inflict with your imbued weapons, or with any slayer spell that can inflict your choice of cold, fire, or lightning damage. You roll double your imbue arms damage die to imbued attacks.

This transformation lasts for 1 minute, but you can end it early as an action, or whenever you drop to 0 hit points. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

BuildBrew Up: Slayer

This and Covenant of the Doom Hunter were made to supplement /u/revlid's Slayer class. Here is a link to the pdf, because I'm considerate like that, but go support that creater anyway.

Covenant of the Doom Hunter

There are those who would stand against the tides of darkness and remain stalwart in the face of hell itself. And then there are those who actively delve into the darkness and tear the essence from within its soul.

Whether they be holy warriors in a fanatical crusade against hell or a group of hunters that have gained divine authority to slay fiends, or simply an angry soldier who has little else left to lose, those that wander the Covenant of the Doom Hunter seek to make archfiends tremble at the mention of their names.

Doom Hunter Covenant Quirks

d6	Quirk
1	You very rarely speak, and are deadly silent in combat.
2	You are easy to enrage, but you never lash out at innocents... Things you percieve as evil, however...
3	You care little for collateral damage, in combat or out.
4	Scars on your body gain an odd, hellish red glow.
5	You have a tendency to hoard a lot of weapons.
6	Your face is normally blank, but you don a sinister grin whenever you pick up a new weapon.

Monster Affinity

You have an affinity for fiends.

Hellspeed

When you join this covenant at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in heavy armor, and you wearing heavy armor does not prevent you from using Quick Step or other slayer abilities and spells. You cannot use a shield and gain this benefit.

Additionally, when you Quick Step, the area you move through becomes lit on fire. Creatures that start their turn in this area or enter its area for the first time take fire damage qual to your imbue arms damage die. This fire lasts until the end of your next turn, and you cannot be hurt by it.

Berserk

Also at 3rd level, when in combat, you go into an angry trance that lets you perform elegantly brutal feats.

You add radiant and thunder damage to the list of damage types you can inflict with your imbued weapons, or with any slayer spell that can inflict your choice of cold, fire, or lightning damage. You also gain the following benefits:

Brutal Flurry. Once per turn, when you succeed an attack roll, you can make a melee weapon attack roll at another creature. On a hit, this attack deals your Imbue Arms damage.

Fiendsbane. When you hit a fiend with an imbued weapon, you roll twice as many imbue arms damage die.

Unshakable Will. You are immune to being charmed while in combat. You have advantage on saving throws to resist being charmed at all other times.

Harness Hell Itself

When you reach 6th level, you have become imbued with hellish and abyssal energy. You gain resistance to fire damage, and are resistant to poison. You also gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill. You can channel your near hellish presence to use your Occult Studies on this skill, and gain advantage on the check if you do so.

You Will Be Worse

At 14th level, you are always under the effects of a detect good and evil spell. Additionally, you are immune to being frightened. If a creature attempts to frighten you, you can instead force them to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they become frightened of you. They can repeat the Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effects on a success. Fiends have disadvantage on this saving throw.

Rip And Tear

Beginning at 20th level, you can use your action to become a living embodiment of that which can slay doom. This can take the form of your body becoming shrouded in radiant light, or burning fire erupting from your very core.

• Once per turn, whenever you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack, you can immediately move up to your speed towards that creature as part of that attack. If this puts you within range of that creature, you can make a melee weapon attack at that creature. On a hit, deal double your imbue arms damage to that creautre.
• You cannot be forced to move and are immune to being stunned, charmed, paralyzed, petrified, and poisoned.
• You become immune to poison and fire damage. You also reduce all incoming damage from fiends by 6.
• You get truesight out to 120 feet, and creatures cannot get advantage on attack rolls while within that range or as a result of being hidden from you.

This transformation lasts for 1 minute, after which you revert to normal. You cannot use this feature again until you complete a short or long rest. You can assume this form as a reaction when using You Will Be Worse.

• Range: 600 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a small metal ball)
• Duration: Instantaneous

---

A huge bomb streaks forth from your hand at a point within range taht you can see that explodes into a highly poisonous cloud in a 60 foot radius sphere. Each creature within the area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 fire damage, 3d6 poison damage, and 4d6 thunder damage. On successful save, it takes half as much damage.

After this bomb explodes, the cloud lingers for 24 hours. A strong wind (about 40 miles per hour) disperses this cloud after about 6 hours. Creatures that start their turns within the cloud or enter its area for the first time take 5d6 poison damage.

You can refrain from firing the bomb after completing the spell, if you wish. A small metal ball about the size of a cannon ball, appears in your hand. At any time, you or a creature you give the bomb to can throw the bomb (to a range of 40 feet) or fire it out of a cannon or a shoulder cannon (to the weapon's maximum range). It explodes on impact, with the same effect as the normal casting of the spell. You can also set the bomb down without shattering it. After 1 minute, if the bomb hasn't already, it explodes.

Power Word Blind

7th-level enchantment

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

---

You speak a word of power that destroys the senses of one creature you can see within range, leaving it utterly blinded. If the target has 150 hit points or fewer, it is blinded. Otherwise, the spell has no effect. The blinded target must make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, the spell ends.

Cryobomb

8th-level evocation

---

• Casting Time: 1 Action
• Range: 120 feet
• Components: V, S, M (A piece of dry ice and silver powder worth 25 sp)
• Duration: Concentration, 1 minute

---

A glowing bead of ice forms from your finger and shoots out to a point within range, where it remains and grows colder for the duration. When the spell ends, either because your concentration is broken or because you decide to end it on your turn, the bead breaks apart and lets out an ice storm that flash freezes anything near it and spreads around corners. Each creature within a 20 foot radius sphere centered on the point must succeed a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes cold damage equal to the accumulated damage and is paralyzed for a number of rounds equal to the accumulated number on a failed save.

If a creature succeeds the save, it takes half the damage and is not paralyzed. A creature can remake the Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its subsequent turns in order to end the paralysis.

This spell's base damage is 8d6 and it's base paralysis time is 1 round. If at the end of your turn the bead has not yet detonated, the damage increases by 1d6 and the paralysis increases by 1 round.

If the glowing bead is touched before the interval has expired, the creature touching it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the spell ends immediately, causing the bead to explode in a freezing storm of ice. On a successful save, the creature can throw the bead up to 40 feet. When it strikes a creature or a solid object, the spell ends, and the bead explodes. The cold freezes objects in the area and puts out nonmagical flames.

Power Word Paralyze

9th-level transmutation

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

---

You speak a word of power that overloads the nerves of one creature you can see within range, leaving it utterly blinded. If the target has 150 hit points or fewer, it is paralyzed. Otherwise, the spell has no effect. The paralyzed target must make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, this paralyzing effect ends.

Glassing Beam

9th-level evocation

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: S, M(A focusing lens, glow worm powder, an emerald worth 5,000 gp that is consumed when the spell is cast)
• Duration: Concentration, 12 hours

---

You call upon a mighty, destructive beam of magical force to destroy your enemies and burn the earth around them until it's surface is but glass.

Choose a point within range. You summon forth a large, white orange pulsating beam in a 30 foot radius, 50,000 foot high column centered around that point. Creatures that start their turn within that point or enter its area for the first time take 5d10 fire damage, 5d10 radiant damage, 5d10 force damage, and 5d10 necrotic damage. After two rounds, the beam turns the surface within it into cracked and jagged glass, destroying plants and objects that aren't being worn or carried. This turns the area into difficult terrain that is extraordinarily painful to cross. Any creature that moves more than half its speed on this terrain takes 2d10 piercing damage. Structures hit by this beam take double the damage from this spell.

You must use your action to maintain the beam. As long as you maintain the beam, your movement speed is 0, and you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws. You can use your bonus action to move the beam up to 20 feet in any direction you wish.

Myth Breaker

Myth breakers are masterful monster hunters who have taken up the specialization of firearms and gunslinging. They know a variety of tricks to get the most out of their explosive weapons of choice, and don't shy away in the face of even the most dangerous and fearsome of beasts, abberations, monstrosities, dragons, fiends and undead. They're learned and well read, knowing a great deal about mythical creatures of all kinds and how to track them down, and they use their bevvy of firearms at their disposal to assist in killing them.

Myth breakers hunt down these monstrosities for various reasons. Most do it for profit, often not having any trouble whatsoever finding jobs to kill a band of owlbears harrassing a nearby village or a beholder making a lair nearby a commonly traveled trade route. Others do it for a sense of justice and altruiusm, often dealing death to evil vampires and expelling dark fiends that threaten the existence of a city, and may or may not accept payment as a compensation for doing the good deeds they do. Others do it simply for the thrill of hunting down powerful and intelligent beasts and seeing them slain by the sound of their rapidly firing guns.

Whatever their reasons, a myth breaker is often a welcome sight when seen in a town, and some are regarded as legendary heroes across the realms, regarded fondly for their heroic deeds and vast knowledge on mysterious and deadly creatures.

Magic Items

Ammunition, Double Tap

Wondrous item, uncommon
When you attack with this ammunition, regardless of whether or not you hit, you can repeat the attack roll against the same creature you fired at again at the beginning of your next turn. If the creature was brought to 0 HP by the ammunition on the first attack, you can instead make the second attack roll at a different target within 30 feet of the creature attacked at the beginning of your next turn. Otherwise this ammunition drops to the ground harmlessly. If both attack rolls were able to be made with this ammunition, it loses its magic and becomes mundane.

Ammunition, Returning

Wondrous item, rare
This ammunition can take the form of either arrows, sling bullets, crossbow bolts, or gun rounds. When it is fired for the first time, it teleports back to you/back into your gun. Every time you fire this ammunition from here on out, there's a 50% chance it will teleport back into you. This ammunition can always be recovered after battles.

Ammunition, Tracer

Wondrous item, very rare
When you make an attack roll with this ammunition, it has advantage. On a hit, the round begins to glow and seems to draw attacks toward it. The next creature that makes an attack roll against the creature hit by the ammunition makes the roll with advantage. On a hit, the creature's attack deals an extra d8 damage. The ammunition then loses its magic.

The round can always be recovered after a battle if it does not hit a creature.

Artemis Cannon

Weapon (rifle), very rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +1 to attack and damage rolls made with this magic rifle. This weapon has 3 charges. You can use an action to expend one charge and cast conjure barrage, or you can use an action to expend 2 charges to cast conjure volley. The spells are cast with the following changes:

• You can exclude a number of creatures from the effect of these spells equal to 2 + your Dexterity or Wisdom modifier.

You regain 1d3 charges with this weapon when you complete a long rest.

Brimstone

Weapon (shoulder cannon), very rare (requires attunement)
This shoulder cannon has the automatic property, and does not fire cannonballs, instead firing 1st level fire bolt cantrips as its attacks. It takes an action to reload the weapon after it fires 24 fire bolts.

This cannon has 3 charges. You can expend one of these charges to cast fireball without expending a spell slot. When you expend this charge, your shoulder cannon loses its magic for 1 hour, and fires and endless supply of rifled rounds that deal 1d6 piercing damage. You regain all expended charges when you complete a long rest.

Crimson Fang

Weapon (pistol), legendary (requires attunement) You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic pistol. In addition, while you are attuned to this weapon, you regenerate 10 hit points per round that you are not in direct sunlight. You also gain 120 feet of darkvision, are permanently under the effects of a spider climb spell, and get a Dexterity, Strength and Constitution score of 18, unless any of your scores were higher than that.

Blood Draining Shot. When you deal damage to a target using this pistol, you regain hit points equal to half the damage you dealt.

Charm. Once per long rest, you can attempt to charm a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see. The creature must succeed a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become charmed by you. The charmed target regards you as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn’t under your control, it takes your requests or actions in the most favorable way it can.

Each time you or creatures friendly to you do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until you are killed, are on a different plane of existence than the target, or if you take a bonus action to end the effect.

Curse. This pistol is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. Using the identify spell on this weapon will reveal it to be a +2 pistol. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the pistol, and keep it as close to you as possible. Every time you complete a long rest, you must drink the blood of a humanoid creature that is indifferent to you or friendly to you, willing or unwilling. If you do not, you gain 1 point of exhaustion after you complete the rest. This number goes up by 1 every 2 weeks you are attuned to this weapon. In addition, your skin slowly starts to become pallid and sickly, and any creature with a passive perception of 12 or higher notices that your canines have grown longer and sharper when talking to you. When you kill a humanoid creature with this pistol, you must succeed a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or spend any actions during your turns moving toward the creature’s corpse and feasting on its blood. Once you do this, you lose the compulsion for blood. You must consume the blood of 10 hostile humanoid creatures in order to stave off the exhaustion from the weapon’s curse. This number goes up by 10 every 2 weeks you are attuned to this weapon.

Cursebringer

Weapon (carbine), legendary (requires attunement)
You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic carbine, and rounds fired from it deal necrotic damage instead of piercing damage.

Deathcurse. You can cast the hex spell two times without expending a spell slot per long rest. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points that has the hex on it, the round explodes. Any creature within a 10 foot radius around the creature hit must succeed a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. They take 8d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, and half that damage on a successful save.

Cold Famine

Weapon (bulky rifle), rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with this magic gun. This weapon deals an extra 1d4 cold damage on a hit. This rifle cannot be reloaded, and once its ammunition is spent, it’s spent. It regains 1d4 rounds at the start of each of your turns. This cannot increase the rifle’s ammunition count past 4.

Debt Collector

Weapon (rifleblade), legendary (requires attunement)
You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic gun, and you can critically hit on an 18 and 19 as well as a 20. When you score a critical hit with this weapon on a creature within 5 feet of you, you can immediately make a bayonet attack that deals 1d10 slashing damage on a hit as part of that attack.

Dragon Cannon

Weapon (any firearm with the scatter property), legendary (requires attunement)
You get a +1 to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. This gun is molded into a particular dragon's likeness, whether chromatic or metallic. Depending on which dragon it's made to look like, this weapon deals d4 damage of the breath weapon damage of that dragon. This also alters the weapon's name. (for example, Bronze Dragon Cannon)

As an action, you can speak this weapon's command word and fire out the breath weapon of a young dragon. This breath weapon's damage and saving throw stat and DC is determined by the type of dragon the gun was made to look like.

After making this attack, as long as you have this firearm drawn, roll a d6 at the start of each of your subsequent turns. On a 6, the breath weapon recharges, and you can use it again.

Exuberant Radiance

Weapon (bulky rifle), very rare (requires attunement by a good aligned character)
You gain a +1 to attack and damage rolls made with this magic rifle. As a bonus action, you can cause this rifle to shine brilliantly, shedding bright light out to a 30 foot radius and dim light out to a 90 foot radius. Its rounds deal an extra d6 radiant damage on a hit.

Touched By Angels. Once per long rest, you can sprout wings that give you a flying speed of 40 feet for 1 hour.

Blinding Critical. When you score a critical hit with this weapon, the creature you hit is blinded for 1 minute. It can succeed a DC 12 Constitution saving throw to end this effect at the end of each of its subsequent turns. When it succeeds the saving throw, it is immune to the effects of blinding critical for 12 hours.

Firearm of Swift Hands

Weapon (any firearm), rare (requires attunement)
While attuned to this firearm, you ignore the reload action for it when its ammunition count goes to 0, or you ignore the loading times for it.

Hive Splitter

Weapon (rifle), very rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with this magic rifle. This weapon critically hits on a 19 as well as a 20.

Bulletswarm. When you critically hit with this weapon or when an enemy fails a saving throw against a called shot you make, this weapon spawns two clouds of insects that you can direct to attack two different targets within 10 feet of the creature shot. The creatures take d12 piercing damage.

Lucky Seven

Weapon (revolver), legendary (requires attunement)
You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with this magic six shooter. This gun has golden lines along its body and green three leaf clovers on its grip, and sparkles dimly in your hands. Each shot feels like you're gambling for something big.

Uncanny Luck. You get the lucky feat if you do not have it already while attuned to this firearm, and you can reroll 1s and 2s to its damage once per turn.

Seven of Clovers. If you roll a natural 7 on an attack roll made with this revolver, your attack automatically hits and is considered a critical hit. It does maximum damage for both damage rolls and deals an extra 7 force damage to for 7 minutes, including the damage of this attack.

Man's Best Friend

Weapon (any firearm), legendary (requires attunement by a wizard or a gunslinger)
This weapon, hidden deep within the confines of a mad laboratory, is a strange conglomeration of science and necromancy, and appears to be a human wizard and a magic using gunslinger’s attempt to keep their favorite pet around after its passing. The brain itself, or at least a piece of it is floating in a jar attached to the body of the gun, and the sights are arranged with two floppy ear like mechanisms. The face of the deceased animal is painted either on the body itself or around the sights, and magic runes of necromancy are engraved into its barrel.

Only a gunslinger or a wizard can attune to this weapon. Any other creatures attempting to do so will be growled at by the weapon and fail to attune to it.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with this odd sentient firearm. It has the following additional properties.

Sentience. Man’s Best Friend contains the soul of a friendly dog with an Intelligence of 6, a Wisdom of 20, and a Charisma of 16. It has advantage on saving throws on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

The weapon can understand Common, any language its previous masters knew and any language you know while attuned to it. It communicates in barks, yips, whines and growls that are audible out to 60 feet. However, it can translate those barks when speaking directly to you as primal feelings and emotions, such as fear, excitement or sadness.

Personality. Man’s Best Friend is extraordinarily curious, and will constantly try to direct you towards interesting things, such as caves, treasure, and squirrels. It is extremely loyal to you once you form a bond to it, and will growl whenever it senses dangerous intentions from other creatures, or pant happily in the presence of creatures friendly to you. The weapon can move ever so slightly in your grip, but never enough to force your aim off or drop it. It usually does this when it wishes to be pet. Man’s Best Friend thrives on affection and assurance, and if those things are not regularly provided to it by its wielder, a conflict between the two will occur after 10 consecutive days of neglect.

A Nose For Danger. This weapon makes Wisdom (Perception) rolls every 1 minute to check for hostile creatures in 150 foot radius, rolled by the DM. If it senses any, the ears perk up on the gun and it begins to emit a low growl. It will roll Wisdom (Insight) checks every minute you spend in the presence of a creature that is indifferent to you or does not know you personally. If it senses ill intent or hostility, it will react similarly.

Bloodhound. Man’s Best Friend can cast find traps and 5th level hunter’s mark at will. It decides when to cast these spells, and will maintain concentration on the latter so you don’t have to.

Guard Gun. When in combat, the gun will bark viciously when attacking, and will yip and whine when its wielder is badly hurt. The gun can take its own actions in combat, and will always take its turn before its wielder in the initiative order. The gun can use its action to make a Wisdom (Perception) check or give a bark of encouragement to you, granting you a d4 to use on your next attack roll, saving throw or ability check for 1 minute or until used. The check can sniff out invisible creatures or creatures on the ethereal plane within 30 feet of you.

Metalmancy

Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement by a bard)
Only bards can attune to this weapon. If anyone else attempts to attune to it, it produces a loud, discordant sound into their mind. They must succeed a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. They take 2d6 psychic and 2d6 Thunder damage on a failed save, and half that damage on a successful save, and regardless of the results, they fail to attune to the weapon.

This metallic lute doubles as a +2 repeating rifle that uses your Charisma modifier to fire its shots rather than your Dexterity modifier, and is shot by strumming its chords. It does not fire regular ammunition from it. Instead it draws from your innate bardic pool of energy to fire each round. On a hit, its rounds deal 1d6 thunder and 1d6 fire damage. You reload this weapon by playing a powerchord as a bonus action or reaction. This weapon's bardic rounds are infinite, and as long as you wield this weapon and are not incapacitated, you can continue to reload an endless supply of ammunition into it.

While attuned to this strange wonder of art and technology, you are immune to being deafened and gain resistance to thunder damage. You get the fire bolt and thunderclap cantrips and can cast them at will as long as you are attuned to this lute. You get access to the following abilities:

• Thunderstruck: When you use an action to go into a Counterhcarm performance, and as part of that action during subsequent turns, you can also make a spell attack roll at any two creatures within 60 feet of you that you can see. On a successful hit, these targets take 4d6 lightning damage.
• Dragonforce: When you cast a spell that deals fire, thunder or lightning damage, you can use a bonus action during your turn to spawn the projected illusion of a huge red, gold, bronze or blue dragon from the spell’s effect. All creatures hostile to you within 60 feet of the projection must make a Wisdom saving throw. Creatures that were damaged by your spell have disadvantage on this saving throw. On a failed save, they are frightened of you for 1 minute. They can remake the saving throw at the end of each of their turns. If a creature makes the saving throw, it is immune to the effects of dragonforce for 24 hours. The draconic projection disappears at the end of your turn. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

This lute has four charges. You can expend a single charge as an action to cast the following spells: thunderwave, fireball, and control weather. You regain 1d4 charges when you complete a long rest.

Ooze Launcher

They take 6d6 acid damage as well as an additional 2d6 acid damage at the end of their next turn if they fail, and they take half damage and do not take additional acid damage at the end of their next turn if they succeed. After you fire this weapon, you must use an action to cock the ooze making mechanism before it can be fired again.

Additionally, you can use an action to attempt to summon oozes from their native plane into the gun’s barrel and spawn them at any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Roll a d100 to decide what ooze or oozes you can summon. Oozes spawned in this way are telepathically controlled by you and, if in combat, act immediately after you on the initiative order. You can use a bonus action to describe to the ooze or oozes any order you wish, which it will follow to the letter. If you give them no direct orders, they will pursue and attack the closest hostile creature to you that it can sense or defend themselves to the best of their ability. This ooze or oozes remain on the battlefield until killed or if you either spend an action to dismiss them back to their home plane or if you summon another ooze or oozes. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

Artifacts

Even guns can become artifacts. This is an example of an artifact gun that can be made in almost any campaign that features guns universally. Feel free to come up with your own.

Everyman

Weapon (rifle), artifact (requires attunement)
Sometimes, a legendary party needs a legendary weapon. Firearms are some of the most powerful pieces of emerging technology in this world, so infusing them with magic seems like a logical next step. And the next step after that requires an effort by a crew of mortals to forge a weapon that's not only legendarily powerful, but extraordinarily versatile.

Such a weapon requires the teamwork of powerful spellcasters, expert tinkerers, and someone who's an unprecedented expert in lead burping, explosive personal tools of destruction. When such conditions are met and much work has been done over a lengthy period of time, they forge a firearm that has come to be known as The Everyman. The gun that can be wielded by anyone for any purpose.

This firearm is the perfect tool for a world in peril, being able to customize itself to suit nearly any battle and any situation. Its appearance is so imposing that those who hear the tale of such a gun and recognize its common features are filled with an immediate and palpable awe and fear; and rightly so. Its bullets are filled with a magical might and powered by the most advanced technology seen in the world. It can be a heavy barreled and deadly assault weapon one minute, or an easily concealed sidearm of swift death the next.

This weapon only ever seems to come around when it's more than needed in the world, and often disappears shortly after. Generally it's either found again by brave adventurers who seek out its resting place on a battlefield or in a dark laboratory, or is forged anew by another team of legendary heroes. Even finding the blueprints can be considered a world shaking discovery that can alter the fate of nations.

Magic Weapon. The Everyman is a magic weapon that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. Any ammunition fired from it can be changed into a type of damage of your choosing when you make the attack roll. Once per short rest, you can turn one round fired from the gun into Tracer or Double Tap rounds.

Random Properties. This rifle has the following randomly determined properties:

• 2 minor beneficial properties
• 1 major beneficial property

"Average" Gun, Special Hands. If you are a gunslinger attuned to the rifle, you gain the following benefits:

• You cannot be disarmed, and you have immunity to being frightened, stunned and charmed
• You can now attack one additional time when you take the attack action during your turn.
• You get advantage on Dexterity saving throws.

Stop 'N Swap. The Everyman is never without its bag of spare parts, and seems to be able to take on almost any configuration you can think of, whether in the heat of battle or during the downtime in between. This customization doesn't extend to mere attachments either, as with enough time spent in the bag of parts, you can turn this repeating rifle into an entirely different gun. If the bag of parts is not in your inventory, you can use an action to summon it right to your hand.

As a bonus action during your turn, you can make any attachments and/or custom parts on your gun disappear and immediately conjure new ones to replace them as part of your bonus action.

Additionally, as long as you have the weapon's accompanying bag of parts on hand, you can take 1 minute to strip this weapon down to its parts and reconfigure it into an entirely different gun. You can turn it into any firearm from the Firearms List on pages 5 and 6 of this document, except a Nock Gun, Rifleblade, Pistolblade, and Shoulder Cannon. You can force this configuration to happen instantly as an action during your turn. Once you do so, you cannot do it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Creating the Everyman. This weapon, unlike most artifacts, can be forged entirely by mortal hands, although it's difficult. Making this weapon requires at least an arcane spellcaster that can cast level 9 spells, a character that has proficiency in tinker's tools and the Gunsmith Adept feat or a Gunsmith Artificer, and a gunslinger who has the Gunslinging Supreme class feature. To make the blueprints for this gun, it is a DC 25 Intelligence (Tinker's Tools) or Wisdom (Tinker's Tools) check that must be performed over the course of 8 hours. If you fail, the DC of this check decreases by 1 for subsequent checks, to a minimum of 20.

Once the blueprints are made, the wizard and the gunsmith must work at least 8 hours every day on the gun while overseen by the gunslinger. The total cost in gp to make this weapon is 50,000gp, and after every 10 days of working, the caster must succeed a DC 20 spellcasting check to enchant the firearm. If more than one caster makes the check, the DC for each caster goes down by 1. If they fail, they must retry after another 10 days of work in order to fix the wonky enchantment. For every three creatures that meet the requirements for constructing the weapon working on it alongside the initial three, the gp cost decreases by 5,000.

Once this firearm has been created, the wizard must either cast wish or expend a 9th level spell slot that does not regenerate for d10 days in order to complete the forging.

Destroying the Gun. The only way to destroy the rifle is to bring it to its creators to be destroyed, a process which takes 10 days. Alternatively, you can cast wish on it 50 consecutive days in a row or succeed on a cleric's divine intervention 10 consecutive times in order to destroy the weapon.

Oculum Obnoxiam

Weapon (pepperbox/hand cannon), artifact (requires attunement)
Beholders are some of the most feared and reviled creatures in all the land. These creatures see themselves the most superior being ever created, and actively lord over other creatures from deep within their lairs as they scheme and plan for every outcome and possibility they predict will happen. The only thing keeping such creatures from becoming even more of a threat to societies is that the arrival of new beholders is an exceedingly rare occurance, and that they're so xenophobic that they tend not to meddle in the affairs of others unless it distinctly benefits them.

However, eye tyrants exist, and they have subjugated entire realms under their eye stalks, bringing archmages and high priests to their knees and enslaving the strongest fighters to act as their enforcers. The biggest threat to eye tyrants tends only to be other beholders or an extraordinarily competent and lucky team of adventurers.

This, however, isn't good enough for some people. A few wizards got together with some of the greatest gunsmiths and gunslingers in the land and came together for one purpose. To make a weapon that can rival a beholder in power. In order to do this, they hunted down one of the more powerful beholders in the realm that was not an eye tyrant and slew it, then prepared its body to be used in their strange project. They managed to forge the weapon after a few years, and finished it using a blessing by a local high cleric, and soon made a weapon that has killed many an eye tyrant over the years.

After nearly a century of use, this gun mysteriously disappeared. Some say a beholder stole it, attempting to keep it safe within its lair so it would not suffer a similar fate as its kin. Others say it simply vanished into the ether as per the judgement of the gods, being deemed too dangerous. Many adventurers have heard rumors of it popping up here and there, and dedicate their lives to finding it and using its power once again.

Magic Weapon. Occulum Obnoxiam is a magic weapon constructed from beholders, containing each of their eyes, that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it and fires yellow rays that deal 2d12 force damage on a hit. It is reloaded as a bonus action or an action (player's choice) by staring directly into the barrel. When subject to an effect that cancels out magic, such as antimagic field, this weapon functions as normal, but can only fire weak lasers that deal 2d4 force damage on a hit. This weapon deals an extra 3d6 damage to beholders. For the purpose of this weapon, "beholder" refers to beholders, spectators, death kisses, gauths, and gazers.

Random Properties. The gun has the following randomly determined properties:

• 2 minor beneficial properties
• 1 major beneficial property
• 1 minor detrimental property

Antimagic Eye. While attuned to the gun, a magical eye floats above your head that emits an area of antimagic, similar to the antimagic field spell, in a 60 foot cone. At the start of each of your turns, you decide which way the cone faces, whether the cone is active, and which creatures other than yourself are unaffected by the cone. The area works against the gun's abilities as well.

Beholden Floatation. While attuned to the gun, you gain a flying speed of 20 feet, and can hover. You are immune to being knocked prone while flying.

Ray Shot. While attuned to the gun, you can use an action to fire three random beholder rays, choosing one to three targets you can see within the gun's range. The DC to resist these rays is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier or Dexterity modifier, whichever is higher. (Refer to the beholder in the DMG for the eye rays.) The gun can also shoot additional rays. Roll d12 to decide which three rays to fire, rerolling duplicates:

11. Exhausting Ray. The targeted creature must succeed a Constitution saving throw or become extraordinarily fatigued, reducing their speed by 10 feet. They must then succed another Constitution saving throw at the end of its next turn or gain 1 level of exhaustion. The creature must then repeat the saving throw again. If it fails the saving throw a third time, it falls alseep and remains unconscious for 1 hour, gaining another level of exhaustion. The target awakens if it takes damage or another creature uses an action to wake it. This ray has no effect on constructs or the undead.

12. Plague Ray. The targeted creature must succeed a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they take 8d8 poison damage and are poisoned for 12 hours. On a successful save, they take half that damage and are poisoned until the end of your next turn.

Curse. This gun contains a curse from the beholders it has killed. After 1 day of being attuned to this weapon, the creature attuned gets a darkvision of 120 feet, if it does not have it already. Each passing day, the creature attuned to this gun begins to take on minor appearances of a beholder. By the end of 10 days, they have sprouted eye stalks and gain skin similar to that of a beholder, as well as have the floating antimagic eye merged into their head as an additional eye. The creature does not lose its racial traits nor has their physical traits altered, however, these changes are not considered magical in nature (and thus can't be dispellled) but they can be undone by any effect that removes a curse, such as a greater restoration or remove curse spell. Once the curse is removed, it does not return.

Destroying the Gun. This gun cannot be destroyed. However, its magic can temporarily be removed by subjecting it to an antimagic effect (such as the antimagic field spell) for an entire day. This removes all magic and gives it the properties of a pepperbox or hand cannon that does 2d4 force damage on a hit for 1d10x10 years.
