Renegade - (Ravenloft PW) V2

What defines a Renegade is not simply the weapon they wield, or the ways they fight. A renegade, above all else, is a fighter of sly charm and swagger. With brash cockiness in spades, renegades build their own custom firearms to perfectly suit their own larger-than-life personalities. Particularly well-funded renegades may even have personalized weapons, putting their skills where their mouth is.

Don’t mistake their boasting for an empty facade—folk who underestimate a renegade’s flashy gunplay tend to wind up dead.

Scoundrel’s Wit

Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the one of the following skills: Deception, Persuasion, or Sleight of Hand. You also gain proficiency with firearms and Tinker's Tools.

Deception

Your Charisma (Deception) check determines whether you can convincingly hide the truth, either verbally or through your actions.

Persuasion

When you attempt to influence someone or a group of people with tact, social graces, or good nature, the GM might ask you to make a Charisma (Persuasion) check.

Sleight of Hand

Whenever you attempt an act of legerdemain or manual trickery, such as planting something on someone else or concealing an object on your person, make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check.

Gunfighter's Weapon

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you spend 4 hours and 5gp to make a firearm of your choice into your Gunfighter's Weapon. You can customize your Gunfighter's Weapon with various upgrades.

From the Firearm Upgrades list, you can add a number of upgrades to your Gunfighter's Weapon equal to your proficiency bonus. If an upgrade has a prerequisite, you must meet that prerequisite in order to benefit from the upgrade. You can't have more than one upgrade with the same name or prerequisite level at any given time. These upgrades can only be used by you. After you complete a long rest, you can choose to switch one upgrade with any other upgrade. If you change the firearm you made to be your Gunfighter's Fighter, you can spend 4 hours to move your Firearm Upgrades from one your previous Gunfighter's Weapon to your current one. More Firearm Upgrades will be available to pick from upon reaching 5th and 10th level of this class. 

Some abilities granted by this subclass or the Firearm upgrades require your targets to make a saving throw to resist various effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Gunfighter Save DC = 8 + Dexterity Modifier + Proficiency Bonus

One or Two Handed Gunfighter's Weapon

This is solely for DnD Beyond's character builder, to make sure you receive the right Firearm upgrades based on the firearm you selected as your Gunfighter's Weapon. This is not a class feat.

Pick either One Handed or Two Handed based on whether your firearm has the one handed or two handed firearm property.

Pistol Grip: One Handed

One Handed

Stock: Two Handed

Two Handed

Focused Shot

Starting at 7th level, you are honed your focus to efficiently fire volleys with your Gunfighter's Weapon and move around the battle field. You gain a feature based on if your Gunfighter's Weapon is a One Handed or Two Handed firearm.

Fast Draw

Prerequisite: One Handed Gunfighter's Weapon 
You can add half your proficiency bonus to your initiative rolls. If your Gunfighter's Weapon's weapon has the Reload property, you can reload the it as a free action once a turn after killing a creature.

Trained Footwork

Prerequisite: Two Handed Gunfighter's Weapon 
You can gain 5ft of extra movement and standing up from prone takes 5ft of movement instead of half your movement.

Grin and Bear It

At 10th level, you can brace yourself in the heat of battle, even when gravely wounded. When you use your Second Wind feature, your AC gains a +1 bonus, you gain resistance to all damage, and your movement speed increases by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.

Right Gun for the Job

At 15th level, your skill with your firearm can adapt to any situation. When you switch one of your upgrades, you can now have more than one upgrade with the same prerequisite level at any given time. You must still meet the prerequisite of an upgrade in order to benefit from it.

The Finishing Shot

At 18th level, you've gained mastery over manoeuvring with your Gunfighter's Weapon to deal a devastating blow to your targets. Upon getting this feat, you gain a special action for this feat based on whether your Gunfighter's Weapon is a One Handed or Two Handed firearm. Once this action granted from this feat has been used, it cannot be used again until you complete a long rest. 

High Noon

Prerequisite: One Handed Gunfighter's Weapon
You can use your action to make six attacks at advantage with your Gunfighter's Weapon. Each creature that is hit this way must also make a Constitution saving throw. On failure, if they had less than 15 percent of their maximum health (Critical Health), they instantly die. A creature with more than 15 percent of their maximum hit points automatically succeeds the saving throw. If any creatures dies from this action, you regain one expended use of Action Surge.

Lights Out

Prerequisite: Two Handed Gunfighter's Weapon
Choose a creature within the range of your Gunfighter's Weapon. They must make a Constitution saving throw. On failure, if the creature has less than 100 hit points, it instantly dies. On success, you make a critical hit with your Gunfighter's Weapon against the creature. A creature with more than 100 hit points automatically succeeds the saving throw. If the creature dies from this action, you can then pick a target that is within 30ft behind the creature to make an automatic hit with your Gunfighter's Weapon. If any creatures dies from this action, you regain one expended use of Action Surge.

Firearm Upgrades

Note: Due to how DnD Beyond works, you will see that you can add six Firearm Upgrades. However, per the written condition to add these upgrades, you can only add a number of upgrades equal to your proficiency bonus. More upgrades will be available to pick upon gaining more fighter levels.

Unlike many tinkerers who labor studiously in their workshops, renegades alter their weapons to suit their personal knavish swagger. The following list provides various options to enhance your firearm’s capabilities. These upgrades may be personal touches you put on your weapon, or scavenged tech that you’ve discovered and rigged to work with your weapon.

Bayonet

You build mounting provisions to attach a dagger to your Gunfighter's Weapon. When a light one handed melee weapon is attached to your Gunfighter's Weapon this way, you can attack with the melee weapon while you have the firearm equipped. The melee weapon loses any Thrown property it had when attached this way.

Bolt Action

Prerequisite: Two Handed Gunfighter's Weapon. Level 5
Once per turn, as an action, you can make a ranged weapon attack with your Gunfighter's Weapon.

On a hit, add 2 additional weapon damage die. This increases to 3 extra dice at the 11th Fighter level, and 5 extra dice at the 20th Fighter level.

Caliber Net

You add a launcher attachment to your firearm to shoot a restraining net. Once a short or long rest, you can load one "Net" weapon in your Gunfighter's Weapon. You can then launch the net as an action by making a ranged weapon attack against a target within the normal range of your firearm. On hit, the target is restrained by the net. When the net hits a target this way, a creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your Firearm Upgrade save DC, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10 + your proficiency bonus) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net.

Collateral Damage

Prerequisite: Two Handed Gunfighter's Weapon
You alter your ammunition to have explosive capabilities. Once a turn, when you hit a target with a successful attack from your firearm, all creatures within 5 feet of the target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 piercing damage.

Disorientating Muzzle

Prerequisite: One Handed Gunfighter's Weapon. Level 5
You tinker with the barrel of your firearm to make a disorienting blast. As a bonus action, you can make an attack with disadvantage against a target with your Gunfighter's Weapon. If the target is within 5ft, you do not attack with disadvantage. If this attack hits, you gain 10ft extra of movement untill the end of your turn. Whether the attack hits or miss, you do not provoke attacks of opportunity from your target until the end of your turn. This feature can be used a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (to a minimum of 1). You regain all uses after completing a long rest.

Double Hammer

Prerequisite: One Handed Gunfighter's Weapon. Level 10
You modified your firearm to fire two shots with a single hammer trigger. Before you make an attack with your Gunfighter's Weapon, you can use this feature to allow your attack to be a critical hit if you roll an 18, 19, or 20.

If your Gunfighter's Weapon has the Misfire property, its Misfire score increases by 3 for this attack. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (to a minimum of 1). You regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Misfire
Whenever you make an attack roll with a firearm, and the dice roll is equal to or lower than the weapon’s Misfire score, the weapon misfires. The attack misses, and the weapon cannot be used again until you spend an action to try and repair it. To repair your firearm, you must make a successful Tinker’s Tools check (DC equal to 8 + misfire score). If your check fails, the weapon is broken and must be mended out of combat at a quarter of the cost of the firearm. Creatures who use a firearm without being proficient increase the weapon’s misfire score by 1.

Electrified Chaser Shot

Prerequisite: Level 5
You equip your firearm with a volatile ignition powder, allowing you to release a bolt of lightning as an action on your turn. The lightning fires from you in a straight line that is 1 foot wide and 30 feet long. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw.

If the target is immune to the chosen element, they automatically succeed the saving throw. Multiple instances of the same effect cannot stack.

Fire: The target takes 1d6 fire damage at the start of their turn. The target makes a Constitution saving throw after taking the damage, ending the effect on a success.

Cold: All of the target's movement speed is reduced to 10ft until the end of their turn.

Thunder: The target is deafened until the end of their turn.

Ghillie Suit

Prerequisite: Two Handed Gunfighter's Weapon. Level 10
You can use a bonus action to become invisible, as if you're concentrating on a spell, leaving a life-like decoy 5 feet in front of you. The decoy has 1 hit point, uses your AC and stats, and is considered an object that shares the same appearance and size as you, but cannot move or take actions. The decoy leaves behind a body when reduced to 0 hit points. You remain invisible for one minute until you attack or cast a spell. While invisible this way, you leave no physical evidence of your location and can only be tracked by magic. The decoy is reduced to 0 hit points if you are no longer invisible.

This movement does not provoke any attacks of opportunity. 

As part of your reaction, you can make a ranged attack with your Gunfighter's Weapon against the attacker.

Plated Grip

Quick Draw Slider

Smoke Screen

As an action, you alter the firing mechanism of your gun to release a burst of ash and smoke. This creates the effects of the Fog Cloud, but the smoke is a 5ft radius and lasts 1 minutes. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Stock and Foregrip

Prerequisite: One Handed Gunfighter's Weapon.
