The WhatNot Shop's Gnome Firearms - Introduction 3by Sean Hower

In t r o d u c t i o n

Zana Daergel’s WhatNot Shop is the premiere boutique for unusual antiques and collectables. Zana prides herself on acquiring only the most intriguing equipment, clothing, trinkets, furnishings, doodads, and thingamabobs from across the Realms. Every adventurer should drop by the shop and have a look-see before hustling off to a dungeon crawl, skirmish, or battle.

This means you!

About Our Gnome FirearmsA firearm is a portable, barreled weapon that uses an explosive force to throw one or more projectiles. That makes every firearm a ranged weapon. The force they rely upon is created by igniting black powder. Every firearm in our inventory was engineered by only the brightest, battle-hardened gnomes of the land. Within each is a unique marriage between years of combat experience and technical knowhow. You can count on these elegant deadlies when you need them the most.

Epic Gnomish InventingEach firearm is an epic gadget whose design follows the principles detailed in Epic Gnomish Inventing, a tinkering guide published by the same folks who brought you absurd accoutrements, bracing beverages, and other unique adventuring toys. While it is possible to use the weapons you’ll find in these pages without ever picking up a copy of that grand manual of mechanical marvels, we at the WhatNot Shop highly recommended at least a brief perusal through its pages. Those guidelines can help you maintain, repair, and even upgrade any boom stick that tickles your fancy.

ChargesAll gadgets, including these firearms, have charges. Charges represent the number of times a gadget can be activated (used) before it needs to be recharged. For firearms, think of charges as the number of times the weapon can be fired before it needs to be reloaded.

Firearms ProficiencyPer Epic Gnomish Inventing, gadgets are considered Martial weapons when it comes to attack rolls and proficiency checks. This rule still applies to gnome firearms because they are a type of epic gadget.

Optionally, the DM and player can introduce a Firearms proficiency specifically for epic gadgets that qualify as firearms. Characters using the firearms in this guide can then use the Firearms proficiency instead of the generic Martial-weapons proficiency. This can be very helpful if you are using firearms rules published by others as well.

Advanced Features The engineers who designed the firearms you see before you had to think outside of the tinkering kit to realize their dreams. This innovation has led to the discovery of two new features: Attack Roll Modifier and Weapon Integration. Fortunately, these innovations can be applied to any epic gadget you and your tinkering friends might build.

Feature: Attack Roll ModifierDescription: This feature gives a target either a bonus or a penalty to one type of attack roll (melee or ranged) for the gadget’s duration. Unwilling targets can resist this effect with a successful saving throw against the
