This monstrous style of weapon is used by high level adventures to take down large beasts. This modified crossbow features a large hollowed out chamber that can fit 30 bolts. You can load up to 10 bolts as an action.
When the chamber is completely filled, the crossbow can be fired as an action. Each creature in a 10-foot wide, 120-foot line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 10d8 piercing damage, or half as much on a success. Creatures of size Large or larger must make a save for every square it occupies within the area. Creatures behind other creatures, or behind 3/4 cover have advantage on this save.
When you fire, roll a d20. On a 1, the barrel explodes, launching the arrows faster, dealing an additional 2d8 piercing damage. The crossbow is rendered unusable until repaired.
Proficiency with a Heavy Crossbow allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.
Push. If you hit a creature with this weapon, you can push the creature up to 10 feet straight away from yourself if it is Large or smaller.
