Special

Bayonet: To attach or remove a bayonet from from a musket is a Use an Object action. Because bayonets are designed for use while attached to a musket. It counts as an improvised weapon that does 1d4 piercing damage (when used by itself).
 
Blunderbuss: This weapon can be fired normally or loaded to make a scattering shot, attacking all creatures within a 15 foot cone. Each creature in the cone must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 piercing damage. Using a scatter shot requires pellet ammunition.
   
Dragon Pistol: This weapon can be fired normally or loaded to make a scattering shot, attacking all creatures within a 15 foot cone. Each creature in the cone must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 piercing damage. Using a scatter shot requires pellet ammunition.
 
Hook: To attach or remove a hook from the wrist is a Use an Object action.
   
Lead Balls: This ammunition is destroyed when used. You do not get to find half of your expended ammunition.
   
Pellets: This ammunition is destroyed when used. You do not get to find half of your expended ammunition.

this thread for rules only please, ask questions and chat in the other one, thanks



guns and cannons


if you notice:
guns are just a replacement for crossbows
cannons are a replacement for balistas


it doesn't change the balance of the game, just the appearance and flavor. any feats relating to xbows work with guns
