Bildgewater Gunslinger V3

What defines a Renegade is not simply the weapon they wield, or the ways they fight. A renegade, above all else, is a fighter of sly charm and swagger. With brash cockiness in spades, renegades build their own custom firearms to perfectly suit their own larger-than-life personalities. Particularly well-funded renegades may even have personalized Hextech weapons, but such folk are rare among the scoundrels of Bilgewater.

Don’t mistake their boasting for an empty facade—folk who underestimate a renegade’s flashy gunplay tend to wind up dead.

Weapon of Choice

Through a combination of salvaging stolen pieces of arcane technology and sheer rakish ingenuity, you can customize your firearm with various upgrades. When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, pick one minor upgrade and one major upgrade from the Firearm Upgrades list at the end of this subclass. If an upgrade has a prerequisite, you must meet that prerequisite in order to benefit from the upgrade.

You gain one additional minor upgrade at 5th level, and one additional major upgrade at 10th level.

Firearm Upgrades Edit

Renegades alter their weapons to suit their personal knavish swagger. The following list provides various options to enhance your firearm’s capabilities. These upgrades may be personal touches you put on your weapon, or scavenged bits of Hextech that you’ve discovered and rigged to work with your weapon.

Saving Throws. Some of these upgrades require your targets to make a saving throw to resist the effect. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Firearm Upgrade save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier

Blade and Black Powder(Minor)

Prerequisite: Pistoleer Form

You create a matching blade to accompany your firearm, rendering you a deadly opponent in both melee and ranged combat. Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls. Additionally, when you use your action to shoot, you can use your bonus action to strike at a creature within melee range using your Dex modifier. On a hit the attack does slashing damage equal to 1d6+Dexterity modifier.

Caliber Net(Minor)

You equip your gun with a net meant to trap opponents. As an action, choose a creature within range of your firearm. The creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained. At the end of each of its turns, the target can repeat this saving throw, ending the effect on a success. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Collateral Damage(Minor)

You alter your ammunition to have explosive capabilities. When you hit a target with a successful attack from your firearm, all creatures within 5 feet of the target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 piercing damage.

Colorful Casings(Minor)

Everytime you take an attack action roll a d6 - on a 5 or 6 you will deal an additional die of the weapon damage in a form of either: acid, cold, fire, force or lighting damage(your choice).

Crosshairs(Minor)

You equip your firearm with a targeting mechanism. If you haven't moved this turn, you can aim down your sights as a bonus action, reducing your speed to 0 and granting you advantage on all attacks you make using your Gunfighter's Form feature until the end of your turn.

Delayed Explosion(Major)

You can replace one of your bullets with a very powerful explosive rounds which explode after piercing the target. When the bullet is lodged in the body of your enemy roll a d6 to determine which location you hit (otherwise you can choose to take a called shot and not require to roll the d6). 1 - left leg, 2 - right leg, 3 - left arm, 4 - right arm, 5 - chest and 6 - head. Upon the explosion the target takes 5d(dice of the weapon) damage as well as looses the limb in which the bullet is lodged, if the target requires a head to live it instantly kills the target if the bullet is lodged in the head.

Double Barrel(Minor)

You add a second barrel to your firearm.  When you use your Gunsligner Form, you can shoot twice during a single action, instead of once.  The shots can target the same creature or different creatures.  Make a separate attack roll for each shot. 

Double Up(Major)

When you hit a creature with a successful ranged weapon attack with a firearm, you can immediately cause the bullet to hit another creature within 15 feet of the original target. The second target takes piercing damage equal to your Dexterity modifier (minimum of one).

Light ‘Em Up(Major)

You can make a small explosive device which you can trigger at a distance.. As a bonus action, you can either throw or set down a small explosive. If thrown, the explosive has a range of 30 feet and detonates immediately on impact; if set down, the explosive can be detonated remotely from up to 150 feet away as another bonus action.

When detonated, each creature within a 20-foot radius of the explosive must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking(your level/2 round down) piercing damage on a failure and half as much on a success. The DC for this saving throw is equal to your Firearm Upgrade DC.

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

Penetrative Round(Minor)

When you shoot at enemies behind cover you ignore the enemies' AC benefit from cover.

Smoke Screen(Minor)

As an action, you alter the firing mechanism of your gun to release a burst of ash and smoke. This cloud forms a 10-foot cube centered on a point of your choice within the firearm’s range, spreading around corners, and the area covered by this cube is considered heavily obscured. This smoke lasts for 10 minutes and cannot be dispersed. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Spread(Major)

As an action, you can fire scraps of metal. Each creature in a 15-foot cone originating from yourself must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking piercing damage equal to 3d10 + your Dexterity modifier on a failure and half as much on a success. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Tracking Bullet(Major)

You add a third range at which your gun is function which is double the initial maximum range (e.g. if the range was 30/60 now its 30/60/120), as well as you have advantage when firing at targets up to first range and you no longer gain disadvantage while firing at targets up to second range.

Tracking Dart(Minor)

You can replace one of your bullets with a tracking round, which if pierces the target can reveal its exact location to you for up to 8 hours.

Once you use this feature you need to take a long rest before you are able to create another such trinket.

Trial by Fire(Major)

As a bonus action, you can charge your weapons with blazing force. Until the start of your next turn, whenever you make a successful attack, you deal extra fire damage equal to your fighter level. You can charge your weapons this way a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and regain all uses after a short or long rest.

Cunning Shot

Starting at 7th level, you learn to exploit a foe’s weak spots, even if they appear to have none. The damage dealt by your firearm, including damage dealt via Firearm Upgrades, ignores resistances and immunities against non magical attacks.

Grin and Bear It

At 10th level, you can brace yourself in the heat of battle, even when gravely wounded. When you use your Second Wind feature, your AC gains a +1 bonus and your movement speed increases by 10 feet until the start of your next turn, as well as you gain the benefit of disengage when using Second Wind.

Right Gun for the Job

At 15th level, your skill with your firearm can adapt to any  situation. When you finish a long rest, you can replace any of your Firearm Upgrades with a different one, though you cannot have more than two major upgrades equipped at a time.
