Firearms

Overview

History

Firearms have only recently been introduced to the world of Crescent, courtesy of a top secret Ministry research project in Ferrodyne (where else?), with cooperation and additional design from Inspector Firehammer, in the City-State of Haven.

Proficiency

The ability to use firearms (pistols and muskets) is dependent upon the character possessing firearms proficiency.

Firearms are a separate class from simple and martial weapons.

The following folks have proficiency in firearms automatically: Artificers, Clerics with the Forge or War domain, Fighters of the Champion martial archetype, Rangers of the Hunter, Gloom Stalker, or Monster Slayer archetype, and Rogues of the Swashbuckler archetype. Soulforged also have firearms proficiency.

Feats

Firearms Proficiency

You have practiced extensively with firearms, gaining proficiency with them.

Firearms Expert

Prerequisite: Proficiency with firearms

You ignore the loading quality of firearms with which you are proficient.

Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls.

When you use the Attack action and attack with a one-handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a loaded pistol you are holding.

Loading: Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
