Gunslinger (adapted)

In worlds of rapidly expanding technology, some brave souls experiment with fire, explosives, and metal to create weapons of devastating power. These firearms can unleash death upon enemies from a distance, but can prove just as deadly to those who wield them, which makes those who choose this path all the braver. The arts of gunsmithing can take years to learn, and are often developed by pioneering tinkerers who may not realize the true power of what they have created. 

Firearm Proficiency

3rd-level Gunslinger feature

Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with firearms, and you ignore the loading property on firearms.

Gunsmith

3rd-level Gunslinger feature

Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with Tinker’s Tools. Using them, you can construct Firearms, which may otherwise be difficult to procure. To do this, you must spend gold equal to the listed cost of the firearm on materials and spend one workweek on the design and construction of your firearm. During this time, you must have access to tinker's tools.

Firearms

You can use and construct the renaissance ranged weapons from the Dungeon Master's Guide, as well as the blunderbuss and the hand mortar, all of which are described below.

Firearm Properties                                                                 

The firearms listed below use special ammunition, and blunderbusses have the burst fire property.                                                                                                                                                           

Ammunition                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

All firearms require ammunition to make an attack, mostly leaden bullets, and due to their rare nature, ammunition may be near impossible to find or purchase. However, using tinker's tools, you can manufacture 10 bullets or one hand mortar grenade at half the listed gold cost over the course of two hours, which may be part of a long rest.

Burst Fire                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

A weapon that has the burst fire property can make a normal single-target attack, or it can spray a 10-foot-cube area within normal range with shots. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take the weapon's normal damage. This attack uses ten pieces of ammunition.

Musket	500gp	1d12 piercing	10 lb.	(40/120)	Ammunition, loading, two-handed
Blunderbuss	450gp	1d12 piercing	10 lb.	(20/60)	Ammunition, loading, two-handed, burst fire

Hand Mortar                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Hand mortars use the following special rules. When you hit on an attack with a hand mortar, each creature within 5 feet of the target must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. If you roll a 1 on an attack roll with a hand mortar, it is disabled the grenade within it explodes, and can't be used until you spend two hours repairing it, a process that requires tinker's tools and can be done as part of a long rest.
