Gunsmith

A Homebrew Class Inspired By Matthew Mercer's "Gunslinger"

By DMCoAl2k
Class: Gunsmith
Class Details
A dragonborn rolls out of the swooping red dragon's fiery
breath. Unscathed, he reloads his bulky clockwork akimbo
pistols and unleashes a torrent of ball ammunition into the
crimson wings. The dragon spirals out of control,
plummeting into a distant field.
A gnome conjures and sits under a harsh yellow light,
tinkering tirelessly on a small mechanical device, filling it
with multiple delicate components. After hours of work,
hearing distant footsteps, she summons a spectral hand
using a simple spell and surgically places the device next to a
doorway. Moments after a large gnoll charges through the
doorway eager for its next feast, but is instead blown to
pieces by a large explosion at the foot of the doorway.
His goliath ally’s chest is left with a large hole in it after the
scorpion-like Geryon pulls it’s stinger back. The goliath's ally,
a tiefling, kneels, adjusting his long platinum rifle and
scoping through the hole in the goliath’s chest. The rifle
glows a radiant gold and a beam of light shoots through the
goliath's chest, scorching the fiend behind him and closing
the goliath’s wounds.
Akin to artificers, gunsmiths have experimented and
improved upon the crossbow, using rare metals, alchemical
components and their wits to create and wield their very own
firearms. Whilst rare throughout Concordia, firearms are not
unheard of. Rumours echo throughout streets in Concordia
that the Yorassian Empire may be developing similar
technology.
Innovative Inventors
Gunsmiths often spend sleepless nights inventing or
improving their creations in specialised workshops, and
occasionally profit by selling their creations. Gunsmiths are
known to work with other gunsmiths or artificers. In some
areas of Concordia, gunsmiths gather in secretive orders or
join forces with artificers, fighters and rarely, bloodhunters.
Most gunsmiths, however, are independent almost to a fault.
Versatile Deadeyes
Inventors of their own arsenal, gunsmiths are able to adapt to
thrive in any scenario thrown at them. Gunsmiths hone their
reflexes, intuition, wits and aim tirelessly to ensure they can
use their equipment as efficiently as possible.
While a gunsmith’s equipment is powerful and versatile,
their equipment comes at a heavy cost. Due to the relatively
new invention of firearms and firearm-related equipment,
materials are expensive and hard to come by, and become
even more expensive when the manufacturing of creations
fail or break.
Creating a Gunsmith
As you create your gunsmith character, consider how your
character came into acquisition of their firearm. Did they
make the invention themself? Did they discover blueprints?
Did they steal or purchase a firearm and now want to
reverse-engineer the design? Was their firearm a family
heirloom? Was the idea given to them in a dream or by a
deity?
QUICK BUILD
You can make a gunsmith quickly by following these
suggestions. First, put your highest ability score in Dexterity,
followed by Intelligence, or Wisdom if you are playing a
soulmonger gunsmith. Second, choose the guild artisan
background.
Optional Rule: Multiclassing
If you wish to use the optional rule on multiclassing in the
PHB, here’s what you need to know when multiclassing into
gunsmith.
Ability Score Minimum. When multiclassing into
gunsmith, you must have at least Dexterity and Intelligence
(or Wisdom for Soulmonger) score of 13.
Proficiencies Gained. If gunsmith isn’t your initial class,
here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first
level in gunsmith: light armour, smith’s tools, tinker’s tools,
firearms, crossbows and simple weapons.
Spell Slots. If you take the arcane gunsmith subclass, add
half your levels (rounded up) in the gunsmith class to the
appropriate level from other classes to determine your
available spell slots.

Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution
modifier per gunsmith level after 1st

(a) a burglar’s pack, (b) a dungeoneer’s pack, or (c) an
explorer’s pack
Leather armor, a dagger, smith’s tools and tinker’s tools.
Upon choosing this class, you gain proficiency with Tinker’s
Tools and Smith’s Tools. You may use them to craft

experimental and intricate firearms are only available
through crafting.

Pistoleer Extra Attack

Reloading light firearms is now a bonus action Being within 5
feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your
ranged attack rolls. You can use a bonus action to attack with
a light firearm When crafting ball ammunition, repairing
damaged light firearms, or drafting new light firearms you
may do so at half of the cost.
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. The
number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th
level in this class and to four when you reach 17th level in
this class.
Hair Trigger
Upon reaching 9th level, when you roll initiative, you can use
your reaction to make a firearm attack against a creature
within the normal range of your expertised weapon. This
ability recharges on a short or long rest.
Vicious Momentum
Once per short or long rest on a critical hit, you can activate
this ability to reduce your target's movement speed by half
and you gain advantage on all attack rolls against that
creature until the end of your next turn. Each critical hit
against the same creature after activating this ability also
adds a level of exhaustion up to a maximum of 3.
Sixth Sense
You no longer roll for initiative, and instead choose the
number for your rolled initiative. This can be decided during
the first round of combat, but you must choose a place before
the initiative cycles back to the top, otherwise you enter at the
bottom of the initiative order. When targeted by an attack you
can use your reaction to fire at the creature with a firearm
before they attack.
Mark of the Makers
Different gunsmiths take different approaches to how they
craft their unique firearms. The mark of the maker you
choose to emulate will reflect your approach to your firearm.
Gunslinger
This maker's mark focuses on enhancing, and inventing new
firearms, augments, and attachments. Gunslingers are expert
inventors and focus on perfecting their craft.
Adept Marksman
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, 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. Each use of a trick shot must
be declared before the attack roll is made. 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
Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). You regain 1 expended
grit point each time you roll a 20 on the d20 roll for an attack
with a firearm, or deal a killing blow with a firearm to a
creature of significant threat (DM’s discretion). 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
Dexterity modifier
Trick Shots
These trick shots are presented in alphabetical order.
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. You may
use your Strength modifier instead of Charisma when
making the Intimidation check when using this trick shot.
Dazing Shot When you make a firearm attack against a
creature, you can expend one grit point to attempt to dizzy
your opponent. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage
and must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer
disadvantage on attacks 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 make a firearm attack against a
creature, 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. On a hit, 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 make a firearm attack against a
creature, you can expend one grit point to attempt to fire
through multiple opponents. The initial attack gains a -2 to
the firearm’s to hit score. On a hit, the creature suffers
normal damage and you make an attack roll with
disadvantage against every creature in a line directly behind
the target within your first range increment. Only the initial
target of the attack gains the -2 to the attack roll.
Violent Shot When you make a firearm attack against a
creature, you can expend one or more grit points to enhance
the volatility of the attack. For each grit point expended, the
attack gains a -2 to the firearm’s attack roll. If the attack hits,
you can roll one additional weapon damage die per grit point
spent when determining the damage.
Winging Shot When you make a firearm attack against a
creature, 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.
Bank Shot. You can use the ricochet of your bullets to
attempt to hit enemies behind full cover, but you do so at
disadvantage.
Gunslingers' Ingenuity.
Beginning at 6ht level, through field experience and your own
ingenuity, you have learnt how to enhance your firearm with
modifications. You may choose to learn two blueprints from
the list below, and gain an additional blueprint at 10th, 15th
and 18th level. The cost of each blueprint varies and is up to
the DM's discretion.
Short Range Optics. By crafting a short range optical sight
for your firearm, you increase your attack rolls by 2. This
could come in the form of a red dot sight, a target analyser or
any other unique ideas you may create with your DM.
Long Range Optics. By crafting a long range optical sight for
your weapon, your attacks now score a critical hit on a roll of
19 or 20. This could come in the form of a scope, a target
aquisition system or any other unique ideas you may create
with your DM.
Rapid Acquisition Assistance. By crafting a form of rapid
acquisition aim assistance, your firearms now have no
penalty for being within 5ft of a hostile creature. This could
come in the form of a laser sight, flashlight, or any other
unique ideas you may create with your DM.
Vital Component Modifications. By enhancing or modifying
the vital components of your firearm, you effectively extend
your firearm's range by 60ft and attacking at long range
doesn't impose disadvantage on your firearm attack rolls.
This could come in the form of a muzzle break, extended
barrel or any other unique ideas you may create with your
DM.
Covert Operations. By crafting means of covert operations,
you can attach or modify your weapon to have -1 to damage
and attack rolls, but the firearm's shot's noise is significantly
reduced, including bullet impacts. This could come in the
form of a suppressor, subsonic rounds, remotely detonated
ammunition or any other unique ideas you may create with
your DM.
Ergonomic Augmentation. By enhancing the ergonomics of
your weapon, you can use a bonus action to take the dash
action. This could come in the form of an ergonomic stock,
grip, or any other unique ideas you may create with your DM.
Improved Magazines. By enhancing or augmenting your
weapon's magazine, speedloader, moon clip or other forms of
ammunition holsters, you increase your magazine size by
33%, rounded up. This may come in the form of an extended
magazine, smaller ammunition, or any other unique ideas
you may create with your DM.
Speed Loaders. By increasing the ergonomics of your
weapon's magazine, speedloader, moon clip or other form of
ammunition holsters, you can now use your bonus action to
reload your weapon. This may come in the form of a dual
mag, a unique feeding mechanism or any other unique ideas
you may create with your DM.
Bayonet By affixing a melee weapon to your firearm, you can
make a melee attack bonus action. The weapon acts as a
dagger (1d4 + your Dexeterity modifier), however if it hits,
your next firearm attack against the creature gains
advantage. This may come in the form of a dagger, a trapping
mechanism or any other unique ideas you may create with
your DM.
Snapshot Augmentation. By augmenting or modifying your
firearm, you can now shoot around corners at disadvantage
whilst remaining in full cover. This may come in the form of
breaking your firearm into two parts, a mechanical arm with
a visual aid, or any other unique ideas you may create with
your DM.
Underslung Attachment. By attaching an underslung
mechanism to your firearm, you can interchange the
underslung wepaon's attacks with your firearms attack
actions. This may come in the form of an underslung grenade
launcher, an extra barrel (such as a drilling gun), or any other
unique ideas you may create with your DM.
Mechanical Augments.
At 10th level you can create an augment to improve and
enhance your physical self instead of your firearm. You can
choose one of the options below, or work with your DM to
create your own!
Night Vision Goggles. Whilst wearing this gear, you gain
darkvision out to 200ft. This darkvision can only see in
shades of green and black.
Armblade. An armblade can be used offensively or
defensively. As a weapon, the armblade is a +1 longsword
that you are proficient with. As a reaction when attacked, you
can expend a grit point to add 1d8 to your armour class.
Ceramic Plated Armour. You have now learned how to
create ceramic plates that can be inserted into any light
armour. These plates cause any critical hit against you to
become a normal hit. Once this feature has been used, you
must repair the armour over a short rest.
Titan Plated Armour. You have now learned how to create
more durable light armour. Titan armour is light armour that
equals 14 + your Dexeterity modifier.
Advanced Munitions.
At 15th level, through your experience crafting and working
with ammunition, you have now learnt how to upgrade and
improve your rounds. From the list below, you may choose
two ammunition types to blueprint.
Incendiary Rounds. Incendiary rounds scorch your targets,
dealing an additional 1d4 fire damage at the start of the
creatures next turn. This damage can stack multiple times,
up to 5. A creature can make a Dexeterity saving throw equal
to your trick shot saving DC to extinguish the flames.
Piercing Rounds. When attacking a target, you can pierce
them to cause another target within 5ft behind them to suffer
half the damage of the original target.
Concussion Rounds. When you target a creature with
concussive rounds, they take half of your weapons damage
die as bludgeoning damage and must make a Constitution
saving throw equal to your trick shot saving DC. On a fail,
their movement speed is halved and they are deafened until
the end of their next turn.
Blinding Rounds. When you target a creature with blinding
rounds, they must make a Dexeterity saving throw equal to
your trick shot DC or be blinded until the end of their next
turn. This shot does no damage.
Hemorrhaging Critical.
Upon reaching 18th level, whenever you score a critical hit on
an attack with a firearm, the target additionally suffers half of
the damage from the attack at the end of its next turn.
Soulmonger
Soulmongers usually have a hatred for evil, and actively hunt
aberrations, fiends, monstrosities and undead. They augment
their firearms and equipment to devastate their enemies or
bolster themselves and their allies using soul charges.
Soul Charge Dice. Your soul dice starts at 1d4, and the size
of the die increases by 2 every 4 levels (1d6 at 7th level, 1d8
at 11th level, 1d10 at 15th level and 1d12 at 19th level).
Sacred Devotion
When you choose this maker’s mark at 2st level, you devote
yourself to the scourge of evil or a preserver of life, and gain
an insight into the secrets of the weave of life and death. You
can now augment your firearm to utilize soul charges. You
gain a number of soul charges equal to your Wisdom
modifier (minimum of 1). When you slay an aberration, fiend,
monstrosity, or undead, you regain a soul charge. You regain
all soul charges on a short or long rest.
Soul Charge DC. Your soul charge DC equals 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Dexeterity modifier.
Preserver of Life. You may choose to spend a soul charge to
replace a single attack with a soul strike. Your soul strike is a
beam of positive radiant energy that bolsters your allies and
weakens your enemies. Each ally within the 5ft wide, 60ft
long positive radiant shot heals your soulmonger die + your
proficiency modifier. Enemies caught in the beam must make
a wisdom saving throw equal to your soul charge save DC or
take the same healing as radiant damage. On a successful
save, they take no damage. If an enemy takes damage from
your radiant shot, you also heal yourself.
Harbinger of Death. You may choose to spend a soul charge
to replace an attack with a soul strike. Your soul strike is a
beam of negative radiant energy that weakens your enemies.
Each enemy within the 5ft wide, 60ft long positive radiant
shot takes your soulmonger die + your proficiency modifier of
radiant damage. Enemies caught in the beam must also make
a wisdom saving throw equal to your soul charge save or take
the same amount of radiant damage as necrotic damage. On
a successful save, they take no damage. The furthest enemy
caught in the beam takes additional damage equal to your
dexterity modifier. If you kill an aberration, fiend, monstrosity,
or undead, you heal yourself for your soulmonger die + your
Wisdom modifier.
Divine Reach.
Beginning at 6th level, you gain four 1st level spell slots and
two 2nd level spell slots. You can prepare a number of spells
equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your Soulmonger level.
Your spellcasting modifier for these spells is Wisdom. The
spells you can prepare depends upon your sacred devotion:

Soul Aura.
Beginning at 10th level, you gain an essence that bolsters
your allies offensively or defensively depending on your
sacred devotion.
Aura of Life. When you or a creature within 10 feet of you
takes damage, you can spend and roll a soul charge die to
reduce the damage by that amount. At 18th level, the range of
this aura increases to 30 feet.
Hatred of Evil. When you or any ally within 10ft make an
attack roll, you can spend and roll a soul charge die to gain a
bonus to their attack and damage rolls equal to the roll.
Sacred Arsenal
Beginning at 15th level, you can now modify and improve
your soul strike to adapt to your combat scenario.
Divine Grenadier You can alter your soulstrike freely to
affect a 10ft radius sphere instead of a straight line. You can
also spend two soul charges to have your soul strike affect a
20ft sphere or a 120ft long, 10ft wide straight line.
Blessed Firearm When rolling damage dice for your firearm,
you can replace the type of damage with radiant damage.
Gracious Soul
At 18th level you regain a soul charge at the start of each of
your turns. You may also spend multiple soul charges on a
single soul strike to increase the soul die count by the
amount of soul charges you spend.

Magical Magazines
Beginning at 2nd level you have learnt how to imbue your
firearms with arcane power. You can spend a spell slot as a
bonus action to imbue one of your magazines with arcane
power for 1 hour. When you do this, all ammunition in your
current magazine becomes magical for the purpose of
overcoming resistances and gains a bonus to its damage rolls
equal to the level of the spell slot consumed.
Titan Shot
At the 18th level, You focus all of your arcane power into one
devastating titan shot.
When the arcane gunsmith scores a critical hit against a
creature with 100 HP or fewer remaining, you may spend a
fifth level spell slot to inflict a fatal blow. The target must
succeed at a Constitution saving throw (DC 5 + damage
dealt). On a failed saving throw, the target dies. On a success,
the target takes the normal damage.
