Arcane Tradition
At 2nd level, a wizard gains the Arcane Tradition feature. The
following option is available to a wizard, in addition to the
options offered in the Players Handbook.
Gunmage
A dark substance that seems to captivate the entire world,
exploding like dragon's breath when it comes in contact with
even the tiniest of flames. This is known as gunpowder, one
of the most powerful mundane substances in the entire
world, able to fell the strongest of beasts and the weakest of
commoners equally. Your specialization with magic aims to
harness this strange power, combining the most powerful of
arcane forces with well-aimed shots, to become a mighty
weapon.
Arcane Rifle
When you choose this tradition, at 2nd level, you gain
proficiency with the arcane rifle. The arcane rifle is a two-
handed ranged weapon that deals 2d6 piercing damage. Its
normal range is 150 feet, and its maximum range is 500 feet.
The rifle requires no ammunition, as it creates bullets using
the magic of the wielder, making its attacks count as magical
for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance.
Creatures without the Spellcasting feature need to supply
ammunition for the rifle, however.
If you lose your arcane rifle, you can create a new one over
the course of a long rest by expending 100 gp worth of metals
and magical incenses used to magically form a new gun.
Elemental Shot
Also, at 2nd level, you can infuse your rifle with magical
effects, as a bonus action. You expend a spell slot of 1st level
or higher, and choose one elemental shot option you know.
Your first attack made with your rifle within the next minute
adds the elemental shot's effect to it.
You know the Arcane Shot elemental shot, and two other
elemental shots of your choice. You learn an additional
elemental shot at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Overwhelming Magic
At 10th level, when you expend a spell slot of 4th level or
higher for your Elemental Shot, you add an additional effect
to your elemental shot.
Double Tap
Starting at 14th level, you can quickly infuse two bullets with
arcane energy. When you use your Elemental Shot feature,
you can choose to expend two spell slots (they do not need to
be the same level). If you do so, your next two attacks made
with your rifle add the shot's effect.
You can use this feature twice, and regain all expended
uses after a long rest.
