• You discern the target's age in years.
• You discern the target's birth month (or season).
• You discern the target's exact height and weight.
• You discern the target's placement within an arbitrary but astrologically generated system you are both familiar with, such as the target's astrological sign, affiliated element, or tribal animal.
• You discern a single piece of information about the target, such as the target's handedness, favorite food or color, or a number the target is currently thinking of. The target must consider the information—and its dissemination—inconsequential.

Because the information is generated by the target's own mind, any faulty information believed by the target will be passed along by the spell. While this spell is primarily used to entertain, an unscrupulous diviner could use the confidence and trust they build with a willing creature to coerce or manipulate them.

• You make a nonmagical mark, symbol, blemish, tattoo, scribble, or up to 300 words (about one page of text) disappear from a surface.
• Your body becomes blurred, shifting and wavering to all that can see it. While you are blurred this way, creatures that rely on sight have disadvantage on attack rolls against you, and you make Dexterity saving throws with advantage against spells and effects that target only you. This illusion is a flavorful variant of the Dodge action and it lasts until the start of your next turn.

Physical interaction with an invisible object (or appendage) reveals the illusion for the creature interacting with it. A creature that suspects an illusion can also see through the illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusory effect for what it is, the invisible object becomes faint to the creature.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its 1-minute effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Pistols

The smallest and most compact firearm, the pistol is also one of the rarest firearms, as most people not only prefer firearms with longer range, but the pistol itself requires greater craftsmanship to craft.

Despite its short range, a pistol is still a formidable weapon, and is often used as a self-defense weapon. Due to this, pistol grips often have metal butts that allow them to be used as effective clubs.

Flintlock: These simple pistols use flint to strike a spark and ignite the powder to propel the shot. Basic and easily crafted, these are a common sidearm.

Starwheel: These flintlock variants use a wheel mechanism to have multiple powder charges prepared, allowing them too make multiple shots before reloading. Typically these have an over and under barrel allowing for two rapid shots.

Pepperbox: This pistol uses a number of pre-loaded rotating barrels to allow for multiple rapid shots before reloading. The predecessor to the Revolver.

Revolver: These pistols use a rottating cylinder loaded with cartridges to rapidly fire multiple shots. Gunslingers and outlaws prefer this sidearm, and those who can afford it for personal protection.

Castor: These new arcane arms as they are refered to are crafted from crystals and precious gems and ore to channel raw magic. They are prized popssesion among those who employ them, and come in different designs as well as firing different elemental shots, from fire to acid.

Rifles

These long guns are the prefered firearm of hunters and marksman. While more cumbersome then a pistol, its stopping power and range more then make up for its size.

Musket. A marskman's gun, a musket has long barrel three to four feet long and a heavy wooden stock, allowing for greater accuracy than all other firearms.

Arquebus. A scaled down version of the much larger musket, the arquebus is the long gun most adventurers are likely to encounter, as it strikes a good balance between size and power. An arquebus usually has a full stock, but many only have a cut-down stock.

Caliver. Essentially half-way between a musket and an arquebus, a caliver has a higher bore and heavier barrel than the arquebus, but is otherwise identical in design.

Bolt Action: These rifles use a bolt mechanism to reload and firmly secure the cartridge, allowing for more accurecy over a greater distance. These are prized among sharp shooters.

Lever Action: This short rifle fire smaller cartridges then its bolt action cousin and has a shorter range, but can send more round down range before needing to reload. A favored rifle among explorers.

Aether Rod: This arcane arm is crafted of crystals and rare gems and metal to harness the raw power of the arcane and fire elemental shot. These rifles have incredible range and stopping power. These rare weapons are as much a work of art as they are technology.

Shotgun

These rugged firearms are so named for the "shot" they fire, often a wad of pellets or ball bearings that quickly spread over a short distance. While the nature of the gun gives them limited range, the destructive power and fear caused by their roar makes up for this.

Blunderbuss. The shortest of the long guns, a blunderbuss only has a barrel around one foot long, sometimes less, which often ends in a flared muzzle. Most blunderbusses have a full stock, but some are made with only a pistol grip. These shotguns can use almost anything you can jam into the barrel as ammunition.

Scattergun: These double barrled shotguns come in both over and under and side by side designs and offer the wielder a pair of shot before reloading. The preferred weapon of many travelers and busniess owners for quiting down the rabble.

Rumbler: These single barrel shotguns use a lever action feed to rapidly fire multiple shots before a reload is required. The favored weapon of many town guards and scoundrels.

Thunderer: These arcane shotguns, like other arcane arms are often made from crystals and rare ores to harness the unique power that fuels them. The most common element type for these are thunder, hence the name sake. Elite mercenaries, kingsmen and the wealthy are known to posses these rare wonders.

Explosives

Grenade. A grenade is a ball-sized iron spheres packed with gunpowder and fitted with a slow-burning wick. As an action, a creature can light a grenade and throw it at a point up to 60 feet away. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Foeshredder. A foeshredder is a specialized grenade with an attached handle, allowing it to be thrown twice as far. A foeshredder functions identically to a grenade except that it can be thrown up to 120 feet away.

Smokebomb. A smokebomb consists of a wooden tube filled with alchemical compounds and smokepowder. As an action, a creature can light a smokebomb and throw it at a point up to 60 feet away. One round after a smokebomb lands, it emits a cloud of smoke that creates a heavily obscured area in a 20-foot radius. A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the smoke in 4 rounds; a strong wind (20 or more miles per hour) disperses it in 1 round.

Sun Maker: A sun maker is a wooden tube filled with alchemical compounds. As an action a creature can throw a sun maker up to 60 feet which detonates on impact. Each creature within 15 feet must make a Dexterity saving throw DC 14. On a fail the creature is blinded and deafened for 1 round.

Weapon Properties

Spread. When attacking a target within half this weapon's normal range, roll an additional damage die and add it to the weapon’s damage. When fired at long range, you may apply the attack roll to an additional creature within 5 feet of the target. Roll damage against the secondary target separately.

Explosive: Each creature within a number of feet indicated next to the explosive property are subject to the weapons effect.

Special Loading: Arcane Arms have a number of charges that are used as ammunition. In order to refill these charges they must go unused for a total of 8 hours.

Special Damage: Arcane Arms can do any damage type, though each one will do only one type which would have been selected on its creation.

Missing with Explosives

If you want an element of risk to the use of explosives, treat them as improvised Ranged Weapons with a range of 30/90 ft. and which require an attack roll to throw accurately.

If the target is a square with a creature in it, use the creature's AC. If the target is a square with an object in it, such as a table, use the "Object Armor Class" rules on page 246 of the DMG. If the target is an empty square, treat it as having an AC of 10.

If a character misses the attack roll, the explosive rolls, bounces, or otherwise ends up in a different square than the target's.

First, roll a d8. The result determines the direction in which the explosive misses.

Once the direction is determined, roll 1d4 (or 2d4 if the target was within long range). The result is the number of squares in the determined direction by which the explosive misses its mark.
