The flintlock mechanism replaced earlier ignition systems such as the wheellock and matchlock. The flintlock pistol is smoothbore, short-ranged and often used as an adjunct to a sword.
- Ammunition
The flintlock pistol uses gunpowder and ball.
- Load Two Minor
It takes a two minor action to reload a flintlock pistol: one to load the powder and one to load the ball. The Speed Loader feat reduces the reload time to one minor action.
- Off-hand
The flintlock pistol is light enough that you can hold it and attack effectively with it while holding a weapon in your main hand. You can't attack with both weapons in the same turn, unless you have a power that lets you do so, but you can attack with either weapon.
- Powder Crit
The flintlock pistol deals more damage when you score a critical hit with it, though not as much as a High Crit weapon. It deals an extra 1 damage at 1st–10th levels, an extra 2 damage at 11th–20th levels, and an extra 3 damage at 21st–30th levels. This extra damage is in addition to any critical damage the weapon supplies if it is a magic weapon.
