Fighter: Gunslinger Archetype
Gunslinger fighter
In the search for ever more deadly and reliable fire power (Before the old moon died and elves and fey flooded the land, all the way back to the first age; the AGE OF ASH when fiends threatened all life on the planet) attempts to recreate the powerfully blasters of the magic artificers lead many brilliant tinkerers on a mad arms race in Albion, For years all across the globe the different races fighting for survival spent years on research and development in hopes to create a weapon that would give them a fighting chance, the result of all of this research was the creation of the first firearm. At first large unwieldy and unpractical, further refinement improved most of the weapons flaws. The creation of revolvers muskets and blunderbuss allowed the arming of common citizens with weapons that could stand against the likes of the fiendish invaders with minimal skill or training requirements to be successful. In the years after the demon were pushed back into the abyss many found a fondness for their weapons and dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to mastering its application in battle as well as learning the inner mechanics of their equipment, inside and out. These dedicated fighters earned the name gunslingers
Firearm proficiency: Starting at 3rd level your familiarity with firearms reaches a new level, you gain proficiency with firearms, allowing you to add your proficiency bonus to attack roles made with firearms.
Gunsmith: Unhappy with simply mastering your weapon in battle you seek to learn the innerworkings and process of creating your own firearms. At level 3, you gain proficiency with Tinker's tools. you may use them to craft ammunition at half cost, repair damaged firearms, or even draft and create new ones (DM's discretion). Some extremely experimental firearms are only available through crafting.
Firearm properties: Firearms are a volatile technology, and such things bring their own unique set of weapon properties. Some properties are followed by a number, this number signifies an element of that property(outlined bellow). These properties replace the optional ones presented in the dudgeon masters guide. Firearms are ranged weapons.
- Reload: The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its reload score before you must spend 1 attack or 1 action to reload. You must have one hand free to reload a firearm.
- Misfire: When ever you make a attack roll with a firearm and the dice roll is equal to or lower than the weapons misfire score, the weapon misfires. The attack misses, and the weapon cannot be used again until you spend a action to try and repair it. To repair your firearm you must make a successful Tinker's Tools check (DC equal to 8 + misfire score). If your check fails, the weapon is broken and must be mended outside of combat at a quarter of the cost of the firearm. Creatures who use a firearm without being proficient increase the weapons misfire score by 1
- Explosive: upon a hit everything within 5 ft of the target must make a dexterity saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus +your dexterity modifier) or suffer 1d8 fire damage. If the weapon misses, the ammunition's fails to detonate, or bounces away harmlessly before doing so.
- Ammunition All firearms require ammunition to attack, and due to their rare nature, ammunition may be near impossible to find or purchase. However, if materials are gathered, you can craft ammunition yourself using Tinker's Tools at half the cost. Each firearm uses its unique ammunition and generally is sold or crafted in batches ; listed below next to the price
