The Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide present
numerous �lexible, re�lavorable options for weapons and other
equipment that adventurers might seek to purchase and use
during their travels. However, not all of the possible options
and ideas that players might desire for their characters to have
are already represented.
In this section, more options have been created with the
hopes that players will not feel as constrained by the already
precedented options of this edition. All of the equipment
presented herein follow the same rules of use as the ones
presented inside the Player's Handbook, in addition to any
special properties detailed here.

Exotic equipment represents weapons and armor that are not
typical or a rarity in most fantasy settings. Unlike most
weapons or armor, there is no normal way to gain pro�iciency
with these items. Pro�iciency must instead be acquired through
training or feats, or worked out in advance with your DM. The
availability and cost of these items should also be con�irmed
with your DM, as the costs for each in this section are merely
suggestions as a minimum value.
��������������
Exotic weapons are weapons that are greatly foreign, use a
specialized �ighting style, or have some secret method of use
that only those trained in them could properly utilize. Firearms
and other sorts of strange weapons are detailed in this section.
Firearms. Firearms are a more "futuristic" type of weapon
that might be used in more technologically advanced worlds.
Muskets, pistols, revolvers and blunderbusses are all �irearms.
Firearms take metal pellet cartridges as ammunition. Such
cartridges are regularly sold for 1 gp (1/4 lb. each), and each
contains enough black powder and a pellet for a single shot.
Once used, pellets tend to shatter and become unusable, and
the black powder is burned up.
Firearms, when �ired, create a lot of noise as a result of the
ignition of the black powder. It is unlikely someone that �ires
one will remain unnoticed for very long after doing so. As a
general rule of thumb, when a �irearm is discharged the sound
is clearly audible out to a range of 1000 feet at minimum
�����������������
Much of the equipment presented here has specialized
properties related to their use, as shown in the Weapons table.
Exploding. The weapon is particularly powerful, but also
quite volatile. Weapons with the exploding property do not gain
additional damage dice upon scoring a critical hit. However, if
you roll the maximum value on one of the weapon's damage
dice, you may roll the die again and add it to the total damage
dealt. You may only add additional dice in this way a number of
times equal to the number of original damage dice that would
have been rolled for the attack.
So, a Rogue using a musket and rolling a 12 on its damage die
may roll an additional d12 and add it to the result. However,
they may not roll an additional die for any of their Sneak Attack
damage dice that rolled a 6.
Reload. This weapon holds a limited number of used before
of designated times, you must use either an action or bonus
action to reload it before being able to use it again. When
reloading the weapon, you may load up to a number of uses
equal to its reload limit.
�������������������
Weapons are described here in alphabetical order (from A-Z). If
a type of weapon has special rules related to its use, their
effects are contained within its description.
Blunderbuss. A wide-barreled �irearm that excels in close-
quarters combat. Unlike most �irearms, it requires two packets
of ammunition for each shot. However, using the weapon while
within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage
on your attack roll. If you make an attack with a blunderbuss
against a creature within 10 feet of you, the attack has
advantage.
Any creature that does not have a Strength score of 13 or
higher that makes an attack with a blunderbuss must succeed
on a DC 10 Strength saving throw each time they �ire one. On a
failed save, they are knocked prone.
Double Barrel. As its name would imply, a double barrel is
a �irearm of similar make and size to a blunderbuss, though
slightly more focused at its mouth. It also possesses two barrels
out of which shots are �ired. Unlike most �irearms, it requires
two packets of ammunition for each shot. However, using the
weapon while within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose
disadvantage on your attack roll. When initiating an attack
using a double barrel, you can choose to �ire both barrels at
once, instead of just one. If the attack hits, it does an additional
die of damage.
Any creature that does not have a Strength score of 13 or
higher that makes an attack with a double barrel must succeed
on a DC 10 Strength saving throw each time they �ire one. On a
failed save, they are knocked prone.
Musket. Muskets are staff-shaped �irearms that are built for
deadly precision at a longer range. Their shots travel far, though
become highly inaccurate over large distances.
Pistol. The most basic of all �irearms, pistols are single-shot
weapons used at close to moderate combat ranges.
Revolver. A modi�ied type of pistol used by more skilled
gunslingers, revolvers have a spinning chamber that rotates
and holds additional shots that can be �ired before needing to
be reloaded.
Rifle. A specialized version of the musket, the ri�le is
incredibly slow to reload. However, ri�ling on the inside of the
barrel makes it deadly accurate at extreme ranges. Unlike a
normal weapon with the Reloading property, you must use an
action to reload a ri�le.
