___

When a chain is wielded in two hands its reach increases by 5ft and you can take the shove action to attempt to prone a target within the chain's reach.

A creature can end this condition by a Strength (Athletics) check with a DC equal to the chain or strap DC strength as an action or by dealing 5 slashing damage to the bolas' chain or strap.

- **Caestus** are reinforced gloves which both protect and improve the punches. All creatures are proficient with Caestus.
- **Composite Bows** are complex and powerful shortbows made in a recurve design. This means the weapon has greater power, but also requires greater strength from its user as a result.

- **Composite Warbows** are massive and complex longbows made in a recurve design. This means the weapon has greater power, but also requires greater strength from its user as a result.

- **Garrotes** are a strong cord, usually made of leather or flax, used to silence unassuming targets. You cannot make an attack roll with a Garrote unless you have Advantage on the attack.

The Shield Master feat negates the speed penalty and Dexterity saving throw Disadvantage (but not for skill checks).

| Leather Straps   | 20sp   | 11 | 10 | 5  |  1(-) lbs. |

*weight is halved for chains used as a weapon*

*weight in ( ) is weight added to a Bola if the leather straps are replaced*

*cost for chains is halved when added to a Bola*
</div>

The DC of chains and restraints refers to the DC required to break them with a Strength (Athletics) check.

Creatures bound by them can also attempt a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to escape with Disadvantage against the same DC.

Subsequent checks to break or escape the restraints after the first attempt incur one level of Exhaustion after, even if the result is successful. Successful Strength (Athletics) checks destroy the restraints, which can be repaired for 1/10th their cost. Successful Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks do not destroy them.

Arrows or bolts crafted out of mithral increase the short range of bows and crossbows by 60 and 30 respectively. There is a minimum cost of 300gp to obtain Mithril weapons or armor. 
- **Mithril Armor** Armor creafted out of Mithril is lightweight and quiet. It does not impose Disadvantage on any Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while wearing or carrying it.

 - **Orichalcum Weapon**
A weapon made of orichalcum must be a melee weapon that deals slashing or piercing damage. Such a weapon is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming the damage resistance and immunities of creatures with an Etherealness feature, and can strike creatures that are hidden on the Ethereal Plane as if they were on the Material Plane.

**Reload:** Guns which have the Reload feature can be fired multiple times within a creature's turn as long as they have a feature that grants them multiple attacks with the same weapon, such as Extra Attack. Once the weapon has been fired a number of times equal to the number stated they must be reloaded before they can be fired again, the same as if the weapon possessed the Loading feature. 
___
**Alternate Scattershot Rule:** When you make an attack with a Blunderbuss or Thundercannon, instead of making an attack roll you force each creature in a 15ft/25ft cone respectively to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save the creatures take 3d4/4d6 piercing damage, or no damage on a successful save. 
___
**Dwarven Sniper** 
Because of the awkward bulk of this weapon, as well as the large crystal scope used to give it such its large range, ranged attacks within 30ft with the weapon have disadvantage.

## Special Ammunition
Sometimes a round could be specially made, or enchanted. In that case the damage is amplified by special round. Here are a few examples. 
___

- **Concussive:** On a hit, the shot flattens, dealing 1d6 bonus bludgeoning damage and forcing the creature to make a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. 
- **Stormcharged:** On a hit, the shot deals 2d6 bonus lightning damage and arcs lightning from the creature hit to the nearest creature within 15ft. If multiple creatures are within range, the DM rolls a 1d4, starting north and moving in the cardinal directions to choose a creature. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take the bonus lightning damage.
- **Freezing:** On a hit, the shot deals 1d6 bonus cold damage and the creature must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or else have their movement speed reduced by half for 1 minute, as ice chills their veins. 
- **Poisoned:** On a hit the shot deals 2d4 bonus poison damage, and the creature must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, or else be poisoned for 1 hour.
