At 1st level, you learn a ritual that creates a
magical bond between yourself and one pistol.
You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour,
which can be done during a short rest. The pistol
must be within your reach throughout the ritual,
at the conclusion of which you touch the pistol
and forge the bond.
Once you have bonded a pistol to yourself, you
gain a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with
it. Additionally, if it is on the same plane of
existence, you can summon that pistol as a bonus
action on your turn, causing it to teleport
instantly to your hand.
You can have a number of bonded pistols equal
to your Charisma modifier, but can summon only
one at a time with your bonus action. If you
attempt to bond with a pistol beyond this limit,
you must break one of your previous bonds.
At 1st level, you begin instinctually carving runes
into your bullets. When you fire one of these
bullets, it counts as magical for purpose of
overcoming resistance and immunity to
nonmagical attacks and damage.
Over a long rest, you can carve up to 20 rune
bullets, provided you have access to a gun-
smithing kit.
At 2nd level, when you fire a bullet from a pistol,
you can expend one spell slot to imbue your shot
with arcane accuracy. Add 2d6 to your attack roll
for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d6 for each spell
level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d6.
Starting at 2nd level, being within 5 feet of a
hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on
attacks you make with a pistol.
By the time you reach 2nd level, you have begun
manifesting arcane talents. See chapter 10 for the
general rules of spellcasting. The gun mage spell
list is included in this document.
The Gun Mage table shows how many spell slots
you have to cast your spells of 1st level or 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 and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell
slot available, you can case shield using either
slot.
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from
the gun mage spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Gun Mage
table shows when you learn more gun mage
spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be
of a level for which you have spell slots. For
instance, when you reach 5th-level in this class,
you can learn one new spell or 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class,
you can choose one of the gun mage spells you
know, and replace it with another spell from the
gun mage spell list, which also must be of a level
for which you have spell slots.
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your gun
mage spells, since your magic is innate. 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 gun mage spell you cast and when
making an attack roll with one.
8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
your proficiency bonus +
your Charisma modifier
You can use a pistol as a spellcasting focus for
your gun mage spells.
At 3rd level, while you are wielding a pistol you
can use your action to perform one of the
following trick shots:
• You can shoot at a target’s hand, dealing no
damage but forcing it to drop an object it is
holding unless it succeeds on a Dexterity
saving throw.
• You can shoot at a target’s foot, dealing no
damage but pinning it to the floor unless it
succeeds on a Dexterity saving throw. While
pinned the target has the grappled condition
(escape DC = your trick shot save DC).
• You can fire a shot safely above a target’s head,
dealing no damage but frightening it for 1
minute unless it succeeds on a Wisdom saving
throw. This effect ends if the target ends its turn
behind cover. If the target succeeds on its
saving throw, you can’t use this feature on it
again for 24 hours.
The saving throw DC of your Trick Shots is
calculated as follows:
8 + your proficiency bonus
+ your Dexterity modifier
When you reach 3rd level, you choose a gun mage
order that you emulate in the practice of your gun
style and techniques. Choose the Order of the
Arcane Tempest or the Order of the Amethyst
Rose. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level
and again 7th, 15th, and 20th level.
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 by 1. As normal, you can’t increase
an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice,
instead of once, whenever you take the attack
action on your turn.
By 6th level, whenever you create a rune bullet,
you can choose to alter the damage type dealt by
that bullet to one of the following: acid, cold, fire,
or lightning.
Starting at 10th level, double the range of any
pistol you are wielding.
Starting at 11th level, you can use your action to
make a pistol attack against any number of
creatures within 10 feet of a point you can see
within your pistol’s range. You must have
ammunition for each target, as normal, and you
make a separate attack roll for each target.
By 14th level, whenever you hit a target with a
rune bullet that deals acid, cold, fire, or lightning
damage, your attack has a secondary effect
depending upon the type of damage dealt:
• If your attack dealt damage, any non-
magical armor your target is wearing begins to
corrode, taking a permanent and cumulative –1
penalty to the AC it offers. If your target is
wielding a shield, it can choose for its shield to
take this penalty instead. Armor reduced to an
AC of 10 or a shield that drops to a +0 bonus is
destroyed.
• If your attack dealt damage, your target
must succeed on a Constitution saving throw
against your gun mage spell save DC or its
speed is halved. At the end of each of its turns,
your target receives an additional saving throw
to end this effect.
• If your attack dealt damage, your target
must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw
against your gun mage spell save DC or catch
fire. Until someone takes an action to douse the
fire, your target takes 1d10 fire damage at the
start of each of its turns.
• If your attack dealt damage, an arc of
lightning leaps from your target, striking the
nearest creature within 15 feet of it, who must
succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against
your gun mage spell save DC or take 2d6
lightning damage. If there are no creatures
within 15 feet of it, the lightning grounds,
dealing 1d8 lightning damage to your target.
Starting at 18th level, when you run out of
ammunition, you begin manifesting bullets of
pure force. These bullets deal force damage
instead of piercing damage.
Gun mages are a fairly new breed in western
Immoren, though most practice techniques set
down by one of two orders: the Arcane Tempest
or the Amethyst Rose.
Founded in Cygnar, the Order of the Arcane
Tempest is a group of elite gun mages trained in
techniques meant to disable enemy warmachines
and wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Starting at 3rd level, when engaging in two-
weapon fighting with a pair of small pistols, you
can add your Dexterity modifier to the damage
roll of your second attack.
Starting at 7th level, a construct hit by one of your
rune bullets that deals lightning damage must
succeed a Constitution saving throw versus your
Spell Save DC or be stunned until the beginning of
your next turn.
Starting at 15th level, when you hit your target
with a rune bullet that deals lightning damage,
you can choose for your target to take thunder
damage instead. Rather than an arc of lightning, a
blast of thunder envelops your target and each
creature within 5 feet of it. Affected creatures
must succeed on a Constitution saving throw
versus your Spell Save DC or fall prone and
become deafened for 10 minutes.
At 20th level, when you use Arcane Accuracy
while fighting with two pistols, you can apply
your attack bonus to the attack you make with
your secondary pistol, too.
Consisting mostly of Llaelese nobles, the Order of
the Amethyst Rose are loyalists devoted to freeing
occupied Llael. Competent duelists and strategists,
they operate in the shadows, disrupting supply
roads and harrying Khadoran troops with hit-and-
run tactics, all the while emboldening the
common people with tales of their heroism.
By 3rd level, you have become an accomplished
duelist. When you roll initiative, you gain a
special turn that takes place before other
creatures can act. On this turn, you can draw a
pistol and make a single attack with it.
Starting at 7th level, when you reduce a creature
to 0 hit points, you can use a bonus action to offer
terms of surrender to a hostile creature that you
can see and hear. That target must succeed a
Charisma saving throw against your gun mage
spell save DC. On a failure, it is charmed by you
for 1 hour and willing to follow your directions. If
it can see at least one ally and is not
outnumbered, it has advantage on this saving
throw.
Once you use this feature you can’t do so again
until you finish a short or long rest.
Starting at 15th level, whenever you are missed
with a ranged attack, you can use your reaction to
make a pistol attack against that creature.
At 20th level, you challenge a creature that you
can see within 60 feet of you. If it can hear you
and isn’t immune to being charmed, the target
must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against
your gun mage spell save DC or be compelled to
duel you. Until one of you is reduced to 0 hit
points, neither of you takes any damage from or is
affected by attacks or abilities used by creatures
other than the one you are dueling.
Once you use this feature you can’t do so again
until you finish a long rest.

You can use light ranged weapons when two-
weapon fighting.

Mechanically, the fighting style remains

unchanged; however, its name is unfitting of the
Iron Kingdoms. It is thus replaced with the
fighting style.

Hours of reloading has honed your reflexes. You

gain the following benefits:
• Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to maximum
of 20.
• You ignore the loading property of crossbows
and firearms with which you are proficient.

The feat is not available to

characters in the Iron Kingdoms.
