Careful Targeting

At 1st level, when you make an attack with an ordinance weapon, any creatures of your choice have advantage on its saving throw and take no damage on a success. If an ordinance weapon does not cause a saving throw, but has the Rail Charge or Over-Charge Special property, you may charge the weapon as a bonus action.

Aggressive Targeting

At 2nd level, when you make an attack with an ordinance weapon and a creature not under the effects of Careful Targeting fails its saving throw, they are thrown a number of feet from the center of the area equal to its radius and knocked prone. If an ordinance weapon does not cause a saving throw, but has the Rail Charge or Over-Charge Special property and you charge it as an action, your next attack with the weapon before it loses its charge has advantage.

Power Shot

At 3rd level, you have put on a significant amount of muscle from lugging around explosive ordinance. Your Strength score increases by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Additionally, you can use Strength instead of Dexterity for the attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throw DC of ordinance weapons.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Blastmaster

At 4th level, your Strength score increases by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Additionally, when you make an attack with an ordinance weapon, any creatures under the effects of Careful Targeting automatically succeeds its saving throw. If an ordinance weapon does not cause a saving throw, but has the Rail Charge or Over-Charge Special property, you may charge the weapon as part of making an attack with the weapon.
