Special Features:

Calculated Counter:

• When another creature makes a melee attack against you, you can use your reaction to activate Calculated Counter. You can choose one of two effects: You gain a +5 bonus to AC against the triggering attack, potentially causing it to miss. You suffer half the damage from the attack, but immediately make a free melee attack with the axe against the attacker. The counterattack deals 1d10 slashing damage.

Shatter Shot:

• As an action, you can fire a Shatter Shot using the firearm. This shot creates a 15-foot cone of devastating force. All creatures within the cone, other than the primary target, must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 18). On a failed save, each creature takes 2d8 piercing damage for each loaded bullet in the firearm, up to a maximum of 6d8. On a successful save, creatures take half damage. This shot empties the firearm, requiring a full reload to use again.
