[Information] Guns in Avistad

[Demandred69]

Guns are an uncommon commodity throughout Avistad, except in the Grand Duchy of Cadonia. Cardonia, just north of The South Seas Region and just south of The Kingdom of Quadosh, is ruled by Duke Petyr Harstadt. No other nation has the fire power of Cardonia. The nation is a poor one because of Harstadt's want to hoard all the guns and gunpowder for his nation. "Guns are a fearsome entity! And fear rules this world!" Needless to say, the best way to get guns is either off those who already have them or go to Carvas, the capital of Cardonia, and buy one at a steep price.

Flair gun: unreliable- for every increment beyond 20' feet that your target is from you, subtract 1 from your attack roll. For every roll or modification of -1 that equals 1 or less, you take the damage. This weapon gun used as a weapon is also dangerous in windy environments and in narrow passages and caves. Rebound- in a cave, for every increment of 4 you miss by, roll extra attacks. These attacks strike randomly and could hit other party members.( I get to roll that) Wind- roll a 1 in combat while in windy conditions. Attack hits random target. Flair signal- flairs can be used for signals and warnings. During the day they appear as smoke accompanied by a popping noise. At night, they pop and spark (lasting 3 rounds). Max. Distance: 120'.

clockwork pistol: Has twelve chambers. On an attack roll of 9 or less the gun over-heats and does not fire. The gun must cool off for a round there after, before being fired again. On a roll of 1 the gun jams. Clockwork gun works with multi-shot principle.

Militairy guns: have 5 bullet chambers. Jam on attack rolls of 1.

Most ranged attack feats are acceptable for gun use. Obviously, you can't have many-shot for most guns. Feats for guns in The Iron Kingdoms (Privateer Press) Player's Guide are acceptable, when applicable, too. Characters that are Arcane Spellcasters may take a new feat to apply an enchantment to their guns. The enchantments are limited to level 0 spells. Once the round enchanted is fired, the enchantment is gone until a new one is applied.
(prerequisites: weapon prof. gun, weapon focus. gun, arcane caster
* Enchant Gun (orig. name!): Once per round an you may enchant your gun to add the effect of a level 0 cantrip to your attack.

Guns generally take two rounds to reload. Quick reload allows the user to reload in one. A dual-wielder, with proper feats, can fire one round with one and another with the other. Or fire both in one round and reload one gun the next round. But with a repeating gun, fire twice in one round then twice the next. Until the chamber of the guns are empty. Some players will still prefer gun and melee weapon combos.

New Feat- Vengeful Shot: You have been hit by a ranged attack. If you have rounds left in the chamber, you may immediately fire back at the being that hit you. You may only do this once per turn. Vengeful Shot does not count against your basic attack turn. It is a quick action.
