hey my friend is DMing for the first time and wanted to make a matchlock gun that fits the time period & I want your opinion on it.
Do you guys think that it is balanced, too underpowered or too powerful?
here are the stats \/
Matchlock Musket 300 gp 1d12 piercing 10 lbs. Ammunition (range 40/120), loud, match loading, misfire, two-handed
Loud Firearms are noisy and expel a lot of powder when fired. If you are hiding, then you have disadvantage on ability checks to remain hidden or move silently while other creatures have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to see, hear, and smell you.
Match Loading Your weapon requires several steps to load and fire. Because of the time required to load this weapon, you may not move in a turn when you fire this weapon, and you can fire only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it. If there is already an accessible flame to light the match with, you may also move on a turn when you fire this weapon.
Misfire Occasionally a firearm fails to fire due to fouling or the round getting stuck. If the d20 roll is a 1 when making a ranged attack, then in addition to missing the target the firearm is considered to have misfired. You must clear the barrel using a gun kit as an action before it may be fired again (note that the cleared ammunition may be used again). If the d20 roll is a 1 and you had disadvantage on the roll, then you have cracked the barrel and the firearm is useless until repaired (requiring a day of work with a gun kit or a use of mending).
