Overcharged Blunderbuss
Blunderbuss - firearm - very rare - 2d8 damage - reload 2, misfire 3
With two flared steel barrels, a wooden stock, and reinforcing bands, this weapon is designed to be packed with the largest charges of gunpowder its wielder can find. It is a blunderbuss, with 2d8 damage dice, a 15/60 ft. range, and requiring proficiency in firearms. After firing twice, an attack must be forfeited to reload the weapon. If a 2 or lower is rolled on a d20 to attack with the weapon, it misfires, and an attack or action must be forfeited to attempt a DC 10 Dexterity (Tinker's Tools) check to repair the fault before it can be fired again. Ammunition can be crafted with appropriate tools, at a cost of 1gp / round. If the weapon misfires, the shot still goes off - reroll the attack against its intended target, but the wielder also suffers 2d8 fire damage, and the weapon is then in need of repairs as normal. The muzzle-loading weapon can also theoretically be packed with nearly anything as shot, changing the properties of the attack and/or increasing the misfire rating at the DM's discretion.
