Description:
A strange device, said to have been made first by the Wang Kingdom for recreational purposes. Almost a foot long, this hunk of wood and metal is capable of launching small half-dollar sized pellets with incredible speed. This is especially useful in penetrating armor, and causing extreme damage. The design is very much flawed, so much so that only the bravest warriors use an arquebus. It has a tendancy to...explode. Violently.
Any time the arquebus is fired, roll a d99. If the number is less than 20, the arquebus exploded and deals 5d11 damage to the user and 2d11 damage to everything within a 10 foot range of the explosion. The explosion makes the Arquebus completely worthless, however spending 1d7 hours foraging for the parts will net you enough spare mechanisms and metal to cut the price of your next arquebus by 10% + your Language modifier...that is if you actually lived through the blast.
Discussion
| I remember playing a Class:Warmonger character who put all of his effort into securing better and better armor to mittigate the risk of the arquebus he used. Eventually he had enough charms and armor to survive the blast relatively unscathed, but he kept killing all the members of the parties he travelled with. |
