Arcane Gunner
Prerequisite: grit ability is Intelligence.
It was only a matter of time after the invention of the firearm
that various wizards and artificers would attempt to improve
it with magic. By combining the advanced artifice of the
present age with arcane secrets of the multiverse,
technomancers have transformed the firearm from a mere
weapon into a catalyst of magic.
Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you augment your gunslinging
prowess with the ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 for the
general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard
spell list.
Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the
wizard spell list. You learn an additional wizard cantrip of
your choice at 10th level.
Spell Slots. The Arcane Gunner 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 grease and
have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can
cast grease using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three
1st-level wizard spells of your choice. The Spells Known
column of the Arcane Gunner Spellcasting table shows when
you learn more wizard 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.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one
of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your
choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a
level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your spellcasting
ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells
through study and memorization. You use your Intelligence
whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In
addition, you use your Intelligence 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
Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier

 Magic Bullets
When you choose this specialty at 3rd level, you learn how to
store spells in your ammunition. You can cast any spell or
cantrip you know on a piece of ammunition, spending a spell
slot, material components, and time as normal. Instead of
being released as magic, the spell's power becomes stored
within the ammunition. You can only have one piece of
ammunition with one stored spell at a time. If you cast
another spell this way, the first spell wears off with no effect.
A stored spell also wears off when you finish a long rest.
Once you have a spell stored within a piece of ammunition,
you can use your action to make a single ranged weapon
attack with it while performing additional verbal and somatic
components. The spell is released from the ammunition, and
it is cast directly in front of whatever the ammunition hits, in
the same direction that the ammunition was travelling.
If the spell would normally target one or more creatures, it
can only target a creature that was hit by the ranged weapon
attack. If the spell requires concentration, you can only
maintain concentration on it while within the spell's range, as
usual. The ammunition can also be used for normal ranged
weapon attacks, in which case it has no special effect.
Conjure Ammunition
Starting at 7th level, you can magically conjure ammunition.
When you finish a long rest, you can create any mix of
arrows, bolts, bullets, shot, and stones, so long as you conjure
no more than 10 pieces of ammunition total. At your DM's
discretion, you may be able to conjure other kinds of
ammunition as well. The conjured ammunition ceases to
exist after 1 day.
Technomancer Apprentice
By 9th level, you are more familiar with the intersection of
magic and technology. You have advantage on Intelligence
(Arcana) checks to devise the purpose, working, and
operation of magical machines.
Force Shot
Starting at 11th level, your ranged attacks with ammunition
weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming
resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage,
and deal an additional 1d6 force damage on a hit.
Arcane Arsenal
Starting at 15th level, you can have any number pieces of
ammunition with stored spells simultaneously, provided you
have sufficient spell slots, material components, time, and
ammunition. Each piece of ammunition can still only hold
one spell.
