Enchanted 30mm Master Artificer's Piercing Charge

"So after your final exam and the level of ingenuity you've shown I though, why not do the same?" The Master Artificer asked as he appraised his now nervous Apprentice. "In light of that, I present you with this." Holding out an oversized solid metal dart with solid metal fletchings. "Is this intended to be fired as is? There's no explosive charge, no fuse... How will it fire?" Smiling the Master Artificer motioned over to the autocannon where it was loaded inside a strange shell with a flat face and the tip of the dart poking out the end. The targets on the field varying in all types even some this dart should never be able to pierce or effect. After the test firing, the apprentice was in shock, looking to her teacher in awe as she asked. "What. In the name. Of your god. Was that?" Gesturing to the the red hot holes in steel, the perforated stone walls, and the obliterated mannequins littering the field, "That my Apprentice, is my Mastery Charge." Smiling he held up the now perforated Dragon Hide he used as a secret target.

To craft a Master Artificer's Piercing Charge, you need the blueprint or to purchase it from an Artificer who has the blueprints or is proficient in crafting them. Players can craft all Charges or take any Charges found during adventuring to an Artificer for a blueprint of the Charge to be made.

It’s up to you to decide whether a character has proficiency with a firearm. Characters in most D&D worlds wouldn’t have such proficiency. During their downtime, characters can use the training rules in the Player’s Handbook to acquire proficiency, assuming that they have enough ammunition to keep the weapons working while mastering their use.
