You have mastered the creation of specialized ammunition and developed a custom drum magazine capable of quickly cycling between different ammunition types.
At the end of a Long Rest, you can craft a number of special rounds equal to twice your Proficiency Bonus, divided among the ammunition types below. You can never have more than 10 special rounds of Specific type at a time.
Each special round deals the weapon's normal damage in addition to its listed effects. Unless otherwise stated, special ammunition is consumed upon use.
Loading your Special Magazine requires an Action. While the magazine is loaded, you can switch between ammunition types as a Bonus Action.
Masterwork Drum Magazine (Level 8)
At 8th level, you permanently integrate your Special Magazine into your firearm.
You no longer need to spend an Action to load the magazine, while retaining all benefits of the feat. Switching ammunition types still requires a Bonus Action.
