Weapon Descriptions

Firearms in Tenebrae

Firearms are not simple weapons to operate. They are heavy weapons that kick nearly as soon as the trigger is pulled. Someone without the proper military training will find his or her ability to hit with a firearm severely limited. Some weapons are even heavier, requiring more specialized training.  Reloading a firearm requires training, but a person trained to use one firearm can reload any firearm, regardless of their actual ability to fire it effectively.

There are 5 types of Firearms. The Proficiency names for Feats are Pistol, Long Gun, Blunderbuss, Heavy Pistol and Heavy Gun. Long Guns, Blunderbuss and Heavy Guns are all Two Handed Weapons. Pistols and Heavy Pistols can be fired with one hand. Treat Pistols as Light Weapons and Heavy Pistols as One-Handed Weapons for TWF. When employed in this way (TWF) Rapid Shot and Many Shot may not be used.

Pistol & Long Gun

Standard Firearms, the modern flintlock pistol and rifle are now becoming standard technology in many units.  These weapons have a smooth bore.

Military Pistol & Long Rifle

Rifling the barrel with a spiral grove has been proven to give the bullet a spin that allows it to fly farther accurately.  Due to the precision of the process, all Military Pistols and Long Rifles are Masterwork, which is included in the price.

Blunderbuss

The blunderbuss hasn't changed much in function, though the form has benefited from the same advances as pistols and rifles.  A Blunderbuss does full damage to a single target within the first range increment, or half damage to up to 3 adjacent targets beyond that to maximum range.

Hand Cannon, Dinosaur Gun and Dragon Rifle

A hand cannon uses Rifle Ammunition, and Dino and Dragon Guns use even larger rounds to hunt huge beasts.  These weapons require special training to fire successfully.  Attempting to rifle the barrel of a Hand Cannon does not provide any benefit, though it can receive masterwork normally.
