glance to be contrary to everything a monk knows about tran-
quility in terms of both form and function.
A rare few men and women, however, know otherwise.
They treat the use of firearms with the mystical reverence
common to all true martial arts. A pistol, like any other
weapon held in the hands of a master, serves as an embodi-
ment of their martial spirit and an extension of their body.
That is the creed of the gun kata.

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 Tinker's Tools (cost and time
are DM's discretion). Each firearm uses its own unique ammu-
nition.

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 signifying an element of that prop-
erty (outlined below). These properties replace the optional
ones presented in the DMG. Firearms are ranged weapons.
Covert You can extend or retract this weapon as a bonus ac-
tion each turn, and while retracted you have advantage on
checks to conceal this weapon.
Weapons with the covert property takes the same time to
Don or Doff as a shield.
Expert. This weapon can only be used by the the classes or
subclasses specified.
• GK = Way of the Gun Kata (Monastic Tradition)
• GS = Gunslinger Martial Archetype (Fighter Archetype)
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 suc-
cessful Tinker's Tools check (DC equal to 8 + misfire score). If
your check fails, the weapon is broken and must be repaired
out of combat at half the cost of the firearm.
