Hookshot

Prerequisites 4th level: A non magical Single-Handed ranged weapon

When you shoot with that weapon, you can see a trail of magical energy coming from the ammunition in mid-air. On a hit, you can choose to make a Sleight of Hand check contested by an Strength save to disarm the creature.

When you disarm a creature with it, you can choose to keep the weapon attached to your Hookshot or drop it 5 feet next to you. If the weapon is light and you have one free hand, you can instantly attack with the weapon as a bonus action.

Alternatively, you can force the target to make a Strength saving throw or get grappled. While grappled, if the target is of your size or smaller, you can use an action or bonus action to engage at Contested Strength save: if you win, the creature are pulled 10ft toward you. If the target is a creature or object larger than you, then you can be pulled to within five feet of it in a straight line.

You can also target a small object with the hookshot and pull it to you. Objects will receive the attack damage as well as creatures.

The ammunition for the shot is always destroyed on the first impact with the target, the hook is just a magical link.

(*) Spells from the Arcane Artillery expansion

Arcane Ammo Pack

When you choose this specialization at 3rd level, you have forged a set of tools and ammunition for your guns. This includes powders, lead, and other materials you need for gun maintenance and ammo crafting.

You can use your Arcane Ammo Pack to magically produce rounds for your guns. At the end of each long rest, you can magically produce mundane rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier x 10 (minimum 1). If you lose your Arcane Ammo Pack, you can make another one at the end of a long rest, at the cost of 25gp worth of resources and raw materials, such as leather and lace.

Experimental Rounds

When you reach 3rd level in gunsmith, you learned how to channel magic into special bullets that only you can use.

On a short or long rest, you can attempt an experiment to enchant a number of rounds created from your Arcane Ammo Pack equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). This number increases to your Intelligence modifier x 2 (minimum 1) at 14th level.

Make a DC 11 spellcasting ability check. If you succeed, roll on the experiment table to decide the result of each of your experimental rounds. If you fail, the experiment only produces one experimental bullet. Roll on the table to decide what that bullet is. Only you can use these high powered rounds.

When you reach higher levels in this class, you can attempt to increase the max potential damage that damaging experimental rounds can deal, but the DC of the spellcasting ability check goes up by 1 for every d6/d4 the damage deals higher than 2d6/2d4: 9th level (up to 4d6/4d4), 14h level (up to 6d6/6d4) and 17th level (up to 8d6/8d4).

The same applies to the AC for protecting and armor breaking rounds, except the DC increases by 2 for every value higher than 1: 9th level (up to 2 AC), 14th level (up to 3 AC) and 17th level (up to 4 AC).
