Overview & Creation

UWAGA! Dragonshardy nie są pociskami magicznymi. Dragonshardy są przewodnikami lub izolatorami magii jednak same w sobie nie są magiczne. Dlatego jeśli nie jest to zniesione przez opis umiejętności lub przedmiotu to ataki shardami nie są traktowane jako magiczne. Odnosi się to głównie do shardów typu fizycznego.   WARNING Dragonshards are not magical bullets overall. Dragonshards are magical conductors or isolators but they are not magical themselves. Summarising, if feature or item description says otherwise attacks with physycal shards are not considered magical.


Class Features

Shard Expertise Starting at level 1, you gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls or damage rolls you make with Shardguns.   Swift Reload You can use bonus action to reload shard gun you are proficient with.   Shard Alteration Starting at level 1 you can change damage type using alchemist supplies. You can change damage type only within type and weight of shard so you can change from medium bludgening to slashing damage but not for example fire damage.   Adept Marksman At 2nd you learn to perform powerful trick shots to disable or damage your opponents using your firearms.   Trick Shots. You learn two trick shots of your choice, which are detailed under “Trick Shots” below. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one trick shot per attack.   You learn an additional trick shot of your choice at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. Each time you learn a new trick shot, you can also replace one trick shot you know with a different one.   Grit. You gain a number of grit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). You regain all expended grit points after a short or long rest.   Saving Throws. Some of your trick shots require your targets to make a saving throw to resist the trick shot’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:   Trick Shot save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier   The trick shots are as follows:   Bullying Shot You can use the powerful blast and thundering sound of your firearm to shake the resolve of a creature. You can expend one grit point while making a Charisma (Intimidation) check to gain advantage on the roll.   Dazing Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one grit point to attempt to dizzy your opponent. The creature suffers normal damage and must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of their next turn.   Deadeye Shot When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one grit point to gain advantage on the attack roll.   Disarming Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one grit point to attempt to shoot an object from their hands. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or drop 1 held object of your choice and have that object be pushed 10 feet away from you.   Forceful Shot When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one grit point to attempt to trip them up and force them back. The creature suffers normal damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet away from you.   Piercing Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one grit point to attempt to fire through multiple opponents. The creature suffers normal damage and you must make an attack roll with disadvantage against every creature in a 15-foot line directly behind the target.   Violent Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one or more grit points to enhance the volatility of the attack. Roll one additional weapon damage die per grit point spent when determining the damage.   Winging Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one grit point to attempt to topple a moving target. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and must make a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.   Gunslinger Archetype Starting at 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate, from Commander, CQC, Desperado, Marksman, and Preacher . Your choice grants features at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 13th, 15th, 18th, and 20th level.   Ability Score Increase When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th 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.   Extra Attack Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.   Explosive Ammunition Starting at 6 level you can make your shard explode. It costs 50 gp per 10 pieces of ammunition. On hit shard explodes. Exploding shard deals damage equal to half your Shardslinger level+your dexterity modifier to every creature within 5ft of primal target. Damage type depends on used shard.   Evasion Starting at 8th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subject to an effect that allows a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw and only half damage if you fail.   Quick Movement Once you reach 10th level, your base walking speed increases by 10 feet, and you may take the Disengage action as a bonus action.   Tools of the Trade Starting at 11th level, you may choose to customize a weapon that has been with you for more than a month, this weapon will become an identifying mark of your fame holding as much standing as its wielder. It carries distinct patterns and markings that are unique to your character. The weapon deals an additional damage die. Level 11 1d6, Level 15 1d8, Level 17 1d10, Level 20 1d12.   Low Profile Starting at 14th level, 1/2 cover counts as 3/4 cover for you.   Feral Senses Starting at 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that help you fight creatures you can't see. When you attack a creature you can't see, your inability to see it doesn't impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it. You are also aware of the location of any invisible creature within 30 feet of you, provided that the creature isn't hidden from you and you aren't blinded or deafened.

Subclass Options

Commander Commanders on the battlefield are a wonder to behold. Leading their troops to victory, they are tactical geniuses and experts at supporting their troops. The sight of a Commander on the battlefield both raises allies’ spirits and demoralizes your enemies.   Commander's Influence Starting at 3rd level, you learn the Moralize, and Demoralize actions:   Moralize As an action, you can boost your allies Morale. Choose a number of friendly creatures who can either see or hear you up to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). The creatures you choose gain a +1 bonus to their attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. The bonus provided by morale lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again, whichever comes first. Your allies lose this bonus if you cannot see them, or they cannot see or hear you, or you become incapacitated. You can use this feature twice, regaining any expended uses when you finish a long rest. The bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws this feature provides increases by 1 at 7th level (+2), and again at 13th level (+3).   Demoralize As an action, you can Demoralize the oppositions resolve. You choose a number of hostile creatures that you can see, and can see or hear you, up to your Charisma modifier (with a minimum of 1). Those creatures must make a Charisma saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma Modifier). On a failed save, the creatures have a -1 penalty to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again, whichever comes first. A creature automatically succeeds on the saving throw if it's immune to being frightened. On a successful save, a creature becomes immune to the effects of Demoralize. The hostile creatures lose this penalty if you cannot see them, or they cannot see or hear you, or you become incapacitated. You can use this feature twice, regaining any expended uses when you finish a long rest. This penalty increases to a -2 penalty at 7th level, and to a -3 penalty at 13th level.   Commanding Presence Starting at 7th level, as long as a creature is under the effects of your Moralize feature, you have advantage on all saving throws and ranged attack rolls made with a firearm.   Stand as One Starting at 13th level, whenever a creature under the effects of your Moralize feature hits a creature with an attack, the attacking creature may choose to use their bonus action to deal an additional 1d6 damage of the weapons damage type. Once a creature has dealt extra damage with this feature, the creature can't benefit from it again until the start of its next turn.   Guiding Shot Starting at 15th level, when you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack by a firearm, one ally of your choice gets advantage on their next attack against the creature you hit. Your ally must not be incapacitated, they must be able to see the target, as well as see and hear you to benefit from this feature. You can use this feature only once per turn.   Militarized Mobilization Starting at 18th level, you can craft non-magical guns for NPC soldiers equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each soldier has the stats of a Scout with the maximum possible hit points (Monster Manual pg.349). You teach them how to handle the weaponry, training them takes one week for each soldier. Once training is complete, you can then utilize them as a loyal militia requiring no payment, but still require lifestyle expenses for each soldier (Player's Handbook pg.157). The soldiers also gain the Firearm Fighting Style Feature: they gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls they make with firearms. (The DM may also decide if the soldiers can be equipped with different items, EX:Weapons, Armor, Magic Items, etc.). You may use a bonus action on your turn to command the militia to take one of the following actions in addition to their movement: Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, Search, or Use an Object.   Master Commander Starting at 20th level, your Morale feature gets an additional +1 bonus to allies attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws, and your Demoralize feature gets an additional -1 penalty to hostile creatures attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws.   CQC Close Quarter Combatant experts prefer to be at the front line of combat, dealing damage and taking hits in place of other teammates.   Armored Brute Beginning at 3rd level, you gain +1 to your AC as long as you are wearing armor. The bonus to AC while you are wearing armor increases by 1 at 15th level (+2).   CQC Training Starting at 3rd level, you gain the following:   Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls with firearms. You may use Strength instead of Dexterity for your ranged weapon attacks when you use a firearm (Due to its sheer weight).   Combat Conditioning Starting at 7th level, your hit point maximum increases by an amount equal to your level when you gain this feature. Whenever you gain a level thereafter, your hit point maximum increases by an additional 1 hit point.   Crowd Control Starting at 13th level, when you make a ranged attack, with a firearm against a creature within 5 feet of you, you may make a melee attack against the creature as a bonus action to attempt to shove the creature. The distance you push the creature from yourself is 10 feet, and at the end of the push the creature must make a Strength saving throw, or be knocked prone (DC = 8 + your Strength Modifier + your Proficiency Bonus).   Riot Shield Starting at 18th level, you gain proficiency with Shields and can mount a shield onto your forearm, this counts as carrying one for the purpose of qualifying for feats and you gain the appropriate AC bonus from it. With the shield mounted you can still carry a two-handed, heavy weapon if it's a firearm.   Master Combatant Starting at 20th level, as long as you aren't incapacitate, you have advantage on saving Throws against any spells or abilities that would knock you prone, push you against your will, or cause you to be frightened. You also ignore any reduction to your move speed.   Desperado Daredevils with a reckless, flashy style, desperadoes excel at fighting with one-handed firearms, either singly or in pairs.   CHOOSE ONE FROM THE FIGHTING STYLES BELOW   Duelist Fighting Style Starting at 3rd level, when you are wielding a firearm in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that firearm.(This applies to extra attack, bonus action, and Two-Gun Fighting Style.)   Two-Gun Fighting Fighting Style Starting at 3rd level, when you take the Attack action and attack with a one-handed firearm that you're holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different one-handed firearm that you're holding in the other hand. You can also load or reload a firearm without difficulty if your hands are full.   Unique Style Beginning at 7th level, you carry yourself like a natural hero or villain, allowing you to use your presence to great effect. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation and Persuasion skills, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses one of those skills(choosen previously).   Taunt Once you reach 13th level, you gain a knack for pissing folks off just right so that their aim and focus is spoiled. You can use an action to taunt a creature within 60 feet of you which can see or hear you. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature is taunted by you for 1 minute. While the creature is taunted by you, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against you. A creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw is immune to your Taunt feature for the next 24 hours.   Fearless Starting at 15th level, you've become so inured to danger that nothing really scares you anymore... Even surrounded by enemies and under constant heavy fire, you still manage to keep your head cool, zen-like. You become immune to the frightened condition.   Sharp Eyes Starting at 18th level, when you make an attack roll with a firearm, you now land critical hits on a roll of 19-20.   Kill in the Blink of an Eye At 20th level, you are so blindingly fast that no one can draw and shoot faster than you... No one. When combat starts, as long as you aren't surprised, you can draw a firearm and take an Attack action before anyone else even has a chance to roll initiative. No creature can take reactions in response to this special action. Once you have taken this action, every remaining creature, including yourself, rolls initiative and proceeds normally.   Marksman Marksmen are the guardians of the battlefield, constantly watching over their allies they prefer to sit back and provide assistance from a distance while also watching over the battlefield from a safe position.   Sniper's Mark Starting at 3rd level, as a bonus action, you mark a creature that you can see. You have advantage on all attack rolls with firearms against that creature. This lasts for 1 minute or until you make an attack against another creature or the creature has 0 hit points. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.   Marked Quarry Starting at 7th level, you deal an additional 1d6 damage of your weapon's damage type against a creature effected by your Snipers Mark feature.   Arcane Infused Weaponry Starting at 13th level, attacks with your firearms are considered magical for purposes of overcoming resistance, and immunity.   Interrupting Shot Starting at 15th level, when a creature marked by your Snipers Mark feature makes an attack, you may use your reaction to make a ranged weapon attack with a firearm you are holding against the marked creature. This attack happens before the marked creature hits.   Sharp Eyes Starting at 18th level, when you make an attack roll with a firearm, you now land critical hits on a roll of 19-20.   Master Marksman Starting at 20th level, your Sniper's Mark feature becomes second nature to you. You now regain all uses of your Sniper's Mark feature when you finish a short or long rest.   Preacher Preachers combine the studies of gunslingers with a pious devotion to their deity that allows them to cast spells like a paladin.   Religious Studies When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, as a result of your theological inclinations you gain proficiency in the Religion skill, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses that skill.   Spellcasting At 3rd level, you have learned to augment your martial prowess with divine spellcasting. You can choose two cantrips from the cleric spell list. At 10th level, you can choose another cantrip from the cleric spell list.   Spell Slots The Preacher Spellcasting 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.   For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield of faith and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield of faith using either slot.   Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level paladin spells of your choice.   The Spells Known column of the Subclass Spellcasting table shows when you learn more paladin spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.   The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from the cleric spell list.   Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the paladin spells you know with another spell of your choice from the paladin spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.   Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells, since your power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.   Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier   Spell Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier   Spellcasting Focus You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your paladin spells.

Ranged Smite Beginning at 3rd level, your unique blend of martial and divine training allows you to "project" your smiting spells at a distance. A spell with "Smite" in the name that can normally only be used with a melee weapon can now be used with a firearm, but only if the target is within normal range. When using a firearm this way, being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls.   Bane Shot Starting at 7th level, attacks with your firearms deal 2d6 additional radiant damage against fiends and undead.   Arcane Infused Weaponry Starting at 13th level, attacks with your firearms are considered magical for purposes of overcoming resistance, and immunity.   Holy Aura Once you reach 15th level, you become permanently protected by a protection from evil and good spell which cannot be suppressed or dispelled.   Shot of Disruption Beginning at 18th level, your firearm attacks are devastatingly powerful against fiends and undead, sundering the essence of wicked beings with every shot. If a fiend or undead has 50 hit points or fewer after taking damage from one of your firearm attacks, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your Charisma modiier + your proficiency bonus) or be destroyed. On a successful save, the creature becomes frightened of you until the end of your next turn.   Pale Rider Starting at 20th level, death simply can't stop your divine mission. Should you die, you will come back to life 1d4 hours later as if by a true resurrection spell. Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until 7 days have passed. Additionally, you no longer suffer the drawbacks of old age.
