Banished Sicatt Workshop Shock Rifle

A Banished voltaic sniper rifle, the Shock Rifle fires a three-round burst of high-energy electricity. Its primary function is to disable energy shields and vehicles with a shocking EMP effect, but it can also chain electricity between targets and objects, making it dangerous in cluttered environments.

Damage: 3d8 lightning damage and 1d8 piercing damage.

Properties: Ammunition (special), Automatic, Chain Damage, EMP Effect, Range (150/600 ft.), Two-Handed, Telescopic Sight (Fixed 3x).

Ammunition (Special): The weapon has an internal power core with 20 charges. Each three-round burst expends 5 charges. It recharges 1d4 expended charges per minute or when attached to a Banished charging station.

Chain Damage: The shock rifle's electrical damage can arc between targets. If a creature within the area of effect has a metallic object (like a weapon or armor), the arcs can chain to another creature within 5 feet of it. The second creature must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 1d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. This can only happen once per turn.

EMP Effect: A creature hit by an attack from this weapon, or damaged by its chained electricity, must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn. This effect also applies to constructs and mechanical objects.

Telescopic Sight: The weapon includes an integrated 3x optical scope. As a bonus action, you can aim down the sight, granting you advantage on your next attack roll with this weapon this turn.

Shield Breaker: The Shock Rifle's electrical bolts are capable of disabling energy shields. Attacks made with this weapon have advantage against targets benefiting from a personal energy shield (like a Covenant Combat Harness).

Proficiency with a Pistol allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
