This massive gauntlet created by a Half-Tabaxi Artificer named Poison Nightshade is secretly an automaton/arcane cannon hybrid. As an attack in combat, you can fire the cannon using your spellcasting modifier. This weapon benefits from the 'Gunner' and 'Firearm Specialist' feats. The weapon's range is 30/90 ft.

You use a Smokepowder Horn and a Cannon Ball to fire this weapon. This weapon does 7d8+INT Bludgeoning damage to whatever it hits and an additional 2d6 Force damage after the initial impact in a circle radius of 20 ft. Requires a minimum of 18 intelligence to wield. Reloading takes 1 bonus action (see 'Firearm' rules). Creatures hit by the Force damage may make a Dexterity saving throw (spell save DC) to take half damage.

While attuned to the weapon, you can use the built in magic receptacle to fire the weapon with no ammo. When you do this, you can expend a 1st level spell slot to fire the cannon as an action, dealing 3d8 Fire, Cold, Lightning or Thunder damage of your choice. Poison Nightshade can use this feature without spending spell slots, as she knows the creation inside and out. This gauntlet also counts as a spellcasting focus while attuned and equipped.
