Riverton Revolver Cannon

The Riverton Revolver Cannon is a devastating and formidable firearm designed by Stefan Riverton from Rivermond. A cousin to the Vache "Ratling" gun invented by Viktor Nightly, this weapon is a lighter, more mobile version that can be wielded by a single creature instead of requiring a team of two. Though it was designed for larger beings such as Ogres and Goliaths, any creature with enough strength can handle its immense firepower. The cannon's six revolving barrels and mounted bayonet make it a fearsome sight on the battlefield, capable of mowing down enemies and suppressing areas with overwhelming firepower.

The Riverton Revolver Cannon is highly valued for its destructive capabilities and ornate design, with a market value ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 gold pieces. Due to its size and power, it is a rare and sought-after weapon among those who can wield it effectively.

The nobility of Rivermond is split on whether to adopt the Riverton Revolver Cannon for widespread use, as its immense power lacks the skill and honor traditionally valued in combat. Despite this, it has proven to be a beast on the field, able to unload and suppress areas with ease. The weapon is ornate in design, reflecting its prestigious origins and the skill of its creator, Stefan Riverton.

Special Abilities:

  • Limited Ammunition: The cannon can hold up to 12 bullets at maximum capacity. Reloading the cannon takes an action.
  • Heavy and Cumbersome: Due to its weight, your movement speed is halved while you are wielding the Riverton Revolver Cannon.
  • Bayonet Blade: The mounted bayonet allows you to make melee attacks with the Riverton Revolver Cannon. The bayonet is a melee weapon that deals 1d8 + your Strength modifier piercing damage.
  • Strength Requirement: To wield the Riverton Revolver Cannon effectively, you must have a Strength score of 18 or higher. If your Strength score is lower than 18, you make attack rolls with disadvantage.
  • Massive Firepower: The Riverton Revolver Cannon can fire rapidly in quick succession. When you take the Attack action with this weapon, you can make up to three attacks. You must declare how many attacks you will make before you roll.
  • Suppressing Fire: As an action, you can use the Riverton Revolver Cannon to suppress a 30-foot cone area. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d10 piercing damage and is frightened until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and is not frightened.
