The Arcane Flintlock Rifle is an innovative fusion of gunpowder technology and arcane power, crafted by the eccentric dragonborn artificer Urrhic Arconot. Known for his unorthodox inventions, Urrhic created this weapon to harness the destructive force of magic and combine it with the reliability of traditional firearms. The rifle features intricate engravings and arcane runes that glow faintly when the weapon is ready to fire, signifying its arcane nature. The stock is made of polished dark wood, and the barrel is reinforced with enchanted steel to withstand the explosive power it channels.
The Arcane Flintlock Rifle is valued at approximately 2,500 gold pieces due to its unique design and the combination of arcane and gunpowder technologies. Its rarity and effectiveness make it a prized possession among adventurers and collectors.
Urrhic Arconot, a dragonborn artificer with a reputation for eccentricity and brilliance, designed the Arcane Flintlock Rifle. His aim was to create a weapon that could utilize both the explosive power of gunpowder and the versatile energy of arcane magic. The rifle was initially met with skepticism, but its performance in the field quickly silenced doubters. It became a sought-after weapon among those who desired a powerful and reliable firearm with a magical edge.
Special Abilities:
- Molten Gemstone: The rifle can be loaded with small arcane gemstones, each containing a reservoir of magical energy. When the rifle is fired, the gemstone is depleted by 1 charge. The rifle starts with 10 charges before the gemstone needs to be replaced.
- Fire Bolt: As an action, the wielder can fire the rifle, expending 1 charge. The rifle shoots a bolt of arcane fire at a target within its range. The target takes 1d10 fire damage on a hit.
- Fireball (5th Level): As an alternative use, the wielder can expend 5 charges to fire a fireball spell at a point within 150 feet of the wielder. The fireball detonates, dealing 10d6 fire damage to all creatures within a 20-foot radius. This use of the rifle leaves it damaged and in need of repair. It requires long rest and appropriate tools (Tinker's Tools) to repair.
- Fireball (9th Level): As a last resort, the wielder can expend all 10 charges to overload the rifle, causing it to discharge a massive fireball spell. The fireball detonates at a point within 150 feet of the wielder, dealing 14d6 fire damage to all creatures within a 40-foot radius. This use of the rifle destroys it beyond repair.
