The Zapling Gun

Firearm

Very Rare Evocation Requires Attunement

Reload 1, Misfire 2

The Zapling Gun is a short stocked gun with a large metallic bulb at the end where the barrel would be. There is a crank on the left side above the trigger. When cranked a harsh crackling emanates from inside the machine until the trigger is pulled, upon pulling the trigger this weapon releases are large, ear-splitting crack of electricity at whatever it is aimed at.

Reload. 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. Whenever you make an attack roll with a firearm, and the dice roll is equal to or lower than the weapon’s Misfire score, the weapon misfires. The attack misses, and the weapon cannot be used again until you spend an action to try and repair it. To repair your firearm, you must make a successful Tinker’s Tools check (DC equal to 8 + misfire score). If your check fails, the weapon is broken and must be mended out of combat at a quarter of the cost of the firearm. Creatures who use a firearm without being proficient increase the weapon’s misfire score by 1.

Point Blank. This weapon does an additional 1d8 lightning damage and 1d4 force damage to the target if it is within 5 feet of the user.
