Round. 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.

Special Firearm Examples (Gunsmith DC 8 + max damage)

Use these guns only when firearms and technology are prominent in your world. These are made to give options to gun using
players who wish to grow in power. They are not and will not be properly balanced in a world that uses more primitive weapon
technology. Implement these guns into those games with caution.

Shoulder Cannon Special Rules

You can make a special attack with a Shoulder Cannon that targets any creature within a 5 wide foot line out to its maximum
range. Any target in the path of this special attack must succeed a DC (8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus)
Strength saving throw or take it's damage roll and be knocked prone. They take half damage on a success and are not knocked
prone. Shoulder Cannons are considered siege weapons for the purposes of damage. Shoulder Cannons use a special type of
ammo known as a Mini-Cannonball, which weighs 2 lbs and costs 5gp per round.

Nock Gun Special Rules

You can use your action to fire all 7 barrels of this gun at once. Make an attack roll with disadvantage. If you succeed, roll 7d12
damage. This attack deals 7d4 bludgeoning damage to you and forces you to succeed a DC 10 Strength saving throw or be
knocked prone.

Gunlance Special Rules

You have disadvantage when you use the lance to attack a target within 5 feet of you. You can wield the lance one handed when
mounted.

Double Barrel Shotgun Special Rules

Double Barrel shotguns can be fired twice per attack. When you make an attack roll with a double barrel shotgun, you can make
two attack rolls at the same creature. The second attack roll is made with disadvantage, and on a hit, you do not add your ability
score modifier to the damage of that attack, unless your modifier is negative.

A Note About Attachments & Custom Parts

Custom Parts and Attachments are primarily for games where guns are both advanced and commonplace in your worlds. They're
made to explicitly make them superior to more primitive weapons. If every character in your current game is not holding at least
one gun and they are not a Barbarian or Druid, or something equivalent, then it is wise to keep them out or just give those who
don't wield guns more magic items and armor to compensate.

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.

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

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.

other weapons, you get a +2 bonus to your damage rolls with
these weapons.

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

By 18th level, you can infuse the weapons you have such a
natural affinity for into your own form. 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

they are immune to this ability for 24 hours.

Superior Evasion

Once you reach 13th level, you can react to danger much
more effectively than most, even when caught off guard.

Never Miss The Mark

By 17th level, you can make damn sure your shots hit by
putting yourself in the line of fire to do so. When you mke an
attack roll, you can choose to add +10 to the result. You can
do this before or after the roll is made, but before it is
determined to be a success or failure. 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.

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.

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
