Checkmate

Arsenal. Checkmate has 10 different types of bolts at her disposal, 5 basic and 5 advanced.

Basic Bolts:

• Iron-Tip Bolt. Checkmate's standard bolt. Made from mahogany wood, the point is made of solid iron, and dangerously sharp. (1d6) Piercing Damage.
• Explosive Bolt. A steel-tipped bolt with a hollow tip filled with a mixture of oil and explosive powder that combusts as soon as the bolt strikes its target. Creates a small explosion in a 3 foot-diameter for 1d10 explosive damage. Targets within 6 feet of the blast must roll a DC 4 DEX saving throw or get struck by shrapnel for 1 damage.
• Blessed Bolt. A gold-tipped bolt with holes drilled in the tip which expel a mist of holy water upon firing, and various religious symbols engraved upon the bolts. Effective against vampires. Deals 1d4 piercing damage against normal targets. Damage is doubled against vampires.
• Toxic Bolt. A bronze-tipped bolt laced with various fast-acting poisons. Deals 1d4 piercing damage, and an additional 1 poison damage every turn until cured.
• Harpoon Bolt. A steel-tipped bolt that lodges itself deep within a creature. Checkmate's personal favorite. Deals 1d8 piercing damage. Lodges itself in the creature upon hit. If the creature attempts to pull it out, they take an additional 5 damage and have a chance of bleeding for 1 damage every 4 turns.

Advanced Bolts:

• Lightning Bolt. A copper-tipped bolt infused with the power of storm. Pierces through flesh like a hot needle through snow. Pierces through 3 targets in a straight line for 1d8 lightning damage.
• Eldritch Bolt. A stone-tipped bolt with ancient Eldritch powers flowing through it. Deals 1d6 Eldritch Blast damage and brands the creature with a demonic curse-mark. Branded targets must be blessed by a cleric within 5 hours or be dragged into hell.
• Arcane Bolt. A stone-tipped bolt with Arcane runes etched into its surface. If it misses its target, it teleports 1d4 times or until the bolt strikes a surface. Roll a 20 for each teleportation. Deals 1d8 Force damage.
• Soulhunt Bolt. A crystal-tipped bolt specifically designed to strike at the soul of the target. Deals 1d12 damage to the target's soul.
• Hellfire Bolt. A brimstone-tipped bolt that contains the fires of hell itself. Checkmate's pièce de résistance. Immolates the target in hellfire. The creature has 666 seconds to confess its greatest sin or they will be be fully consumed by the hellfire. If the creature does not do so within the allotted time, it will die. If the creature is a celestial, a demon or a creature which cannot understand the concept of sin, this bolt will not affect them and will instead deal 1d6 piercing damage.
