These monks have learned to utilize firearms alongside their martial arts.

Gun form

Gunsmith

Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with Tinker’s Tools. You may use them to craft ammunition at half the cost, repair damaged firearms, or even draft and create new ones (DM’s discretion). Some extremely experimental and intricate firearms are only available through crafting.

Gun form

You have learned to meld unarmed combat with shooting firearms. You can make ranged attacks with firearms while in melee without suffering disadvantage on the attack roll.

Butt and Barrel Strike

You have learned to use the butt and barrel of your firearms to strike foes in melee without damaging your firearms or losing effectiveness in your strikes. You can make monk unarmed strikes while wielding firearms.

Firearm Properties

Firearms are a new and volatile technology, and as such bring their own unique set of weapon properties. Some properties are followed by a number, and this number signifies an element of that property (outlined below). These properties replace the optional ones presented in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Firearms are ranged weapons.

Reload. The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Reload score before you must spend 1 attack or 1 action to reload. You must have one free hand to reload a firearm.

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.

Explosive. Upon a hit, everything within 5 ft of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) or suffer 1d8 fire damage. If the weapon misses, the ammunition fails to detonate, or bounces away harmlessly before doing so.

Ammunition

All firearms require ammunition to make an attack, and due to their rare nature, ammunition may be near impossible to find or purchase. However, if materials are gathered, you can craft ammunition yourself using your Tinker’s Tools at half the cost. Each firearm uses its own unique ammunition and is generally sold or crafted in batches listed below next to the price.

Zen Shot

Zen Marksman

When you reach 6th level you learn to channel your ki to perform powerful trick shots to disable or damage your opponents using your firearms.

Trick Shots. You learn two trick shots of your choice, which are detailed under “Trick Shots” below. Many shots enhance an attack in some way. Each use of a trick shot must be declared before the attack roll is made. You can use only one trick shot per attack.

You learn an additional trick shot of your choice at 11th and 17th level. Each time you learn a new trick shot, you can also replace one trick shot you know with a different one.

Saving Throws. Some of your trick shots require your targets to make a saving throw to resist the trick shot’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

   Trick Shot save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier

 

Dragon Roar

You can use the powerful blast and thundering sound of your firearm to shake the resolve of a creature. You can expend one ki point while making a Charisma (Intimidation) check to gain advantage on the roll.

Dragon Rush

When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one ki point to attempt to trip them up and force them back. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet away from you.

Dragonfire Breath

When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one or more ki points to enhance the volatility of the attack. For each ki point expended, the attack gains a +2 to the firearm’s misfire score. If the attack hits, you can roll one additional weapon damage die per ki point spent when determining the damage.

Spinning Dragon

When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one ki point to attempt to dizzy your opponent. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer disadvantage on attacks until the end of their next turn.

Stealing Dragon

When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one ki point to attempt to shoot an object from their hands. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or drop 1 held object of your choice and have that object be pushed 10 feet away from you.

Sweeping Dragon Tail

When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one ki point to attempt to topple a moving target. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and must make a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Two Birds, One Stone

When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one ki point to attempt to fire through multiple opponents. The initial attack gains a +1 to the firearm’s misfire score. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and you make an attack roll with disadvantage against every creature in a line directly behind the target within your first range increment. Only the initial attack can misfire.

Zen Aim

When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one ki point to gain advantage on the attack roll.

Quick Fix

Upon reaching 11th level, you learn how to quickly attempt to fix a jammed gun. You can spend a ki point to attempt to repair a misfired (but not broken) firearm as a bonus action.

Nimble Fingers

Starting at 17th level, you can reload any firearm as a bonus action.
