One of the first black-powder firearms invented, this weapon fires a small cannonball or a canister shot and has the potential to deal horrible injuries. The primitive design however makes precise shots almost impossible.
Special. Due to the explosive and inaccurate nature of the device, you do not add your proficiency bonus to ranged attacks with the handcannon.
Special. The weapon’s projectiles explode with a blast radius of 20 feet. All creatures inside this radius must make a constitution saving throw or take 1d8 piercing damage from shrapnel.
