Hexgun (5e Subclass)
Hexgun[edit]
Warlock Subclass
You have made a pact with a magic sentient weapon known as a hexgun - an eldritch firearm posessed by a powerful fiendish entity. The first hexguns were firearms forged by archdevils and demonlords to sway the tides of battle on Avernus. When some of these weapons found their way onto the Material Plane, they brought the war with them, entangling mortals into the bloodshed. Hexgun warlocks made pacts with these weapons, using their dark magic to empower their own firearms. No matter if you are good, bad, or ugly, the power that a hexgun grants you will undeniably further your ambitions.
Upon choosing this as your starting class you may choose to not choose a light crossbow and 20 bolts or any simple weapon but to choose the eldritch pistol.
It deals 1d6 force damage, this increases to 2d6 at level 6, 3d6 at level 14.
Weight 2 lb. range 40/120
