In an age of dawning technology, no weapon is more feared nor more potent than a firearm. With the crack of a gunshot and the smell of burnt black powder lingering through the air, firearms have gained a reputation for their distinct appearances and complex functionalities, not to mention their extensive variations. During this time, gunsmiths become revered for their abilities to quickly produce such firearms as well as laden them with enchantments to heighten their ability and craft a myriad of physical attachments to enhance the firearm's physical properties. Such as they are skilled in assembling firearms, and they have also developed the skill required in utilizing them to their fullest, deadliest extent.

Experimental Ammunition

3rd-level Gunsmith feature

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically produce your INT modifier minimum of 1 in experimental ammunition using existing ammunition that you touch. Roll on the Experimental Ammunition table for the elixir’s effect, which is triggered when someone is struck or targeted by the ammunition after the attack action is taken by the Gunsmith, unless otherwise specified.

You can create additional experimental ammunition by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one. When you do so, you use your action to create the ammunition from existing non-magical ammunition you touch, and you choose the ammunition’s effect from the Experimental Ammunition table.

Your shot save is the same as your Spellcasting Modifier, and any ammunition you create with this feature lasts until it is used or until the end of your next long rest.
