Spellcasting

By 1st level, you have learned to cast Soul-Slinger spells.

Spell Slots

The Soul-Slinger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known

At 1st level, you know a number of spells equal to your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma plus your half your level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose three of the Soul-Slinger spells you know and replace them with another spell from the Soul-Slinger Spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Spell-Slinger spells. You use your subclass-chosen modifier whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your subclass-chosen modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Spell-Slingerspell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + You use your subclass-chosen modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + You use your subclass-chosen modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You use a firearm or a Soul-Gun as a spellcasting focus for your Soul-Slinger spells.

Soul Tone

At 1st level, you chose a Soul Tone. Choose between Gold, Mustard and Lemon. All are detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 1st and again at 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th.

Soulmite Creation

At 2nd level, you can create dynamite out of your soul a number of times equal to your spell casting modifier. You lose all of your Soulmites made after a long rest and regain any used amounts after a long rest or half after a short rest.

• It has a range to throw of 30/90 feet.
• Explosion radius of 30 feet.
• Make a Dexterity check against the spell casters DC, on a fail take 1d6 force damage (Damage increases for every 10 feet near the middle of the dynamite)
• If you are within 10 feet of the centre of the throw, roll with a disadvantage.

Soul-Gun

Starting at 1st level, you can use your action to create a Soul-Gun in your empty hand. You can choose a firearm on your person to turn into your Soul-Gun, you must preform a 1 hour ritual to chain it to your soul. This weapon deals a type of damage that your subclass says. When you attack with your pact weapon, you use your subclass-chosen modifier, instead of Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls.

Your Soul-Gun disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

Soulsmith

Starting at 3rd Level, you have the capability of making and repairing your own Firearms as well as their ammunition. You can craft bullets and mix gunpowder for all types of firearms for half the cost and repair damages with your Tinker's Tools. You can also use your Tinker's tools to create new ones from the list below and others (DM’s discretion). Repairing a firearm takes 1 hour and requires material at the cost of 1/4 of the listed price of the firearm, the process counting as light activity for the purposes of resting.

Firearm Properties

Firearms are a new and volatile technology, and as such bring their own unique set of weapon properties. Some properties are followed by a number, and this number signifies an element of that property (outlined below). These properties replace the optional ones presented in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Firearms are ranged weapons.

• Reloading - The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Reload score before you must spend 1 attack or 1 action to reload. You must have one free hand to reload a firearm.

• Misfire - On a natural roll of 2 or 3, the gun misfires making the gun useless until it cleared, taking an action to clear it out. On a natural 1 the gun breaks and must be mended out of combat at a quarter of the cost of the firearm.

• Ammunition - All firearms require ammunition to make an attack, and due to their rare nature, ammunition may be near impossible to find or purchase. However, if materials are gathered, you can craft ammunition yourself using your Tinker’s Tools at half the cost. Crafting ammunition for firearms would usually cost 4GP's worth of materials for 30 rounds of ammunition.

• Pocket - Firearms of this make are quite small in size, making them easy to conceal, but at the cost of range and firepower. You have advantage on any Stealth or Sleight of Hands checks to hide the firearm on your person.

• Rapid Fire - Firearms of this make are capable of firing its entire magazine, but at the cost of accuracy. As an action, you may attack a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier, of which all attack rolls will be made at disadvantage, but you may add your ability modifier to all damage rolls. You may only use this action if you have two or more rounds in the magazine.

• Semi-Auto - Firearms of this make uses the excess energy made from firing the firearm to automatically load a bullet into the chamber with no need of help from the user, allowing the firearm to possess a high rate of fire that nothing before it can achieve. Firearms with this property can do the following unique action. As an attack, you may instead fire a three round burst instead of a single round, granting advantage on the attack. You may only use this attack once per turn and may only do so if you have three or more rounds in the magazine.

Upgrades

Starting at 3rd Level, you can now craft upgrades to further improve the lethality of your firearms. At Level 3 you will have access to Tier I Upgrades. You'll gain more access as you level up to Level 5 (Tier II), 10 (Tier III), 14 (Tier IV), and 18 (Tier V). You can use your Tinker's tools to craft these upgrades on to a firearm, of which the DC is 10 + Upgrade Tier. You may remove these upgrades once applied to a firearm, of which it is stored into your inventory.

All upgrades have their own specific Categories and Limitations. Only one upgrade of each category can be applied to a firearm at any time, of which it can only be applied to a certain type of firearm if it has a limitation. You may though replace an upgrade with a new one, with the old one being stored in your inventory. Crafting an upgrade counts as light activity for the purposes of resting. A failure at an attempted modification wastes the time and materials but does not damage the firearm. A critical failure breaks the firearm, requiring it to be repaired.
