Hellfire Cannon

A scream of 'Incoming" and a grinding KaThunk noise is often the last thing heard by those who are the target of the fearsome weapon known as the Hellfire Cannon.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

It initially ran on some form of clockwork and gunpowder based mechanism, though the gears have been filed down and inscribed with magical runes to allow it to be safely used by spellcasters instead.

Hellfire Cannon

Weapon Special, Two handed Uncommon [Evocation, Conjuration]

This black cylinder is wreathed in carvings of flames and magic runes. It requires two hands to hold and counts as an arcane spell focus. The holder of the Hellfire cannon may use an action to fire it. The shot travels in a straight line 2d6x5 feet long. Each creature along the line must pass a Dex save DC 8+ the user's Dex modifier + the user's proficiency modifier or take 1d10 bludgeoning damage. The wielder can spend a bonus action and a spell slot to add 1d10 fire damage per spell level. Passing the dexterity save in this case reduces the damage to half. At the end of the cannonball's path, a Magmin hostile to everyone is summoned for a number of rounds equal to one more than the level of the spell slot used.
