Industrial Weapons

<div class='footnote'>Chapter 4 | Equipment</div>

# Chapter 4: Equipment
Icons of Vernestus include the grandiose barges of the sundrians barreling over desert dunes and the mountains of powder kegs that power gnomish clockwork guns. This chapter includes new equipment available for the adventurers of Vernestus to purchase in addition to the equipment found in chapter 5 of the *Player's Handbook*, "Equipment."

Markets across Vernestus are places where culture and livelihoods thrive. The domains of Vernestus depend on trade with each other to succeed, and as such Vernestucian governments place a large emphasis on supporting the development of trade routes and the protection of caravans.

Copper, silver, gold, and platinum pieces are the most common forms of currency. Gems, artifacts, and magic goods are uncommon commodities, but will often fetch a hefty amount of coin with the right buyer. Many reputable locations may exchange labor or favors for goods.

## Industrial Weapons
Industrial weapons are a new weapon type for adventures set within Vernestus. Rock gnomes, blessed with knowledge given by the god of robots, created the first industrial weapons. With innovations in technology and magic, firearms and flaming weapons have entered the stage along with typical fantasy weapons.

Although members of all races have adopted the use of industrial weapons, their design often incorporates gnomish motifs. The percolation of gnomish culture across the world is a point of pride for many gnomes, as well as the warforged, a race created by the gnomes.

The Industrial Weapons table shows you the new weapons available to you in Vernestus, their price and weight, the damgae they deal when they hit, and any special properties they possess. See chapter 5 of the *Player's Handbook*, "Equipment," for more information about weapons.

### Weapon Properties
Some industrial weapons have special properties not found among those in the *Player's Handbook*, as shown in the Industrial Weapons table.

***Spread.*** You do not suffer disadvantage on ranged attack rolls with this weapon while a hostile creature who can see you and isn't incapacitated is within 5 feet of you.

***Steady.*** You can use a bonus action on your turn to ignore the disadvantage granted from attacking beyond normal range with this weapon on your turn.

### Alternative Rock Gnome

### Fighting Style: Industrial
The following new fighting style can be selected by fighters and rangers for the Fighting Style class feature.

#### Industrial

## Dune Vehicles
Sundrians are known for their cunning wit and craftsmanship, but not necessarily for their creativity. Dune vehicles are technological marvels created by the sundrians from reverse-engineered gnomish technology.

Resembling ships you would find at sea, dune vehicles are able to sail across the sand of deserts. Many fear exploring the Desneran desert for fear of meeting a dune barge staffed with sundrian pirates. However, dune vehicles are able to be purchased as equipment for adventurers.

***Vehicle Proficiency.*** If you have proficiency with vehicles (land), you can add your proficiency bonus to any check you make to control a dune vehicle in difficult circumstances.
