Handheld Cannon (5e Equipment)
Blast RifleMartial Ranged Weapons
This weapon is a short barreled cannon-like rifle with a robust firing mechanism. To wield this weapon one or two handed your strength needs to be at least 13 because of the weapon's large backward propulsion force. It uses shells and is reloaded like a break action weapon. The whole weapon is roughly 2-2.5 feet long so that it can be used in one or two hands. Ammunition costs 10 gp per shell, and is usually in bundles of 3. Special This weapon can be held in one hand but if fired in one hand, your range is a maximum of 30 ft. with any target beyond this causing an miss because of the rifle's force. A natural 1 will cause the gun to misfire but not break because of its inner mechanisms. Firing this weapon within 5 feet of yourself will cause you to also receive damage, although only half damage. This also damages all enemies within 5 ft that are to the sides, diagonal, or in front of the hit enemy. Back to Main Page → 5e Homebrew → Equipment → Weapons |
