Your mastery over Firearms gives you a unique insight into their craftsmanship, allowing you to utilize them in ways no one else can. You gain the following benefits;
- Increase your Intelligence or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- You gain the ability modify your firearms during your free time with Attachments. You gain a total number of Attachments equal to half your Intelligence Modifier (rounded up, minimum of 1), and can have them on one or multiple different firearms, but can’t exceed your total amount, and can only have one of a type of Attachment per firearm. After a Long Rest, you may attach or detach any amount of Attachments and swap them out for new ones. A list of Attachments and their effects is provided below.
- Only you can benefit from your Attachments. If anyone other than you attempts to use a firearm you’ve given Attachments, those Attachments lose their effects.
