# Hybrid Weaponary
T*he Hybrid Weapons are a unique weapon originally invented by the dwarves but they kept secret about it because of its destructive power and a lot of accidents while wielding them. While some with two melee weapons can be somewhat safe, many dwarven blacksmiths and artificers often let their ambition get the best of them. Putting in a firearm in a weapon, making them deadly to the user; The Gunblade. Even the construction turned out to be so difficult that only the great masters of their blacksmiths were able to produce the more advanced chambers.*

*Over the course of the years a few black market spies raided a weapon hall filled with those Hybrid Weapons, they stole them, sold ´em and the rest of the world took interest in these weapons. After a few weeks the first prototypes were used in battle, with fatal results, but over some months later, they were refined, the building plans and the materials and were able to produce the same lethal weapon as the dwarfs. Anyhow, the Gunblade in particular was so deadly it is partially forbidden in some towns. Also if anyone who lacked the skill and talent to wield this monster fell victim to his own Gunblade. The most deaths of the wielders were by shooting themselves and be slain in battle. Therefore only a handful of these weapons and users are out there.*

*But perhaps, you adventurer are an exception….*

### Mechanics

Mechanically, Hybrid Weapons are of two components. Any two melee weapons or a melee weapon and any ranged weapon. Anyone using a trick weapon, by using half their movement speed to transform the weapon to its second form and use their die as normal. This is because trick weapons are complicated machinery that can slow you down.

Trick Weapons composing of only two melee weapons are the simiplier of the two. Gunblades composing of a fire arm component are potientally stronger.

> ##### Example Trick Weapon
> Example: A trick weapon with a longsword component, will use their 1d6 damage die, and have its verstile properity. If you were switch to its, say, whip form, it would use its 1d4 damage die, and gain its reach and Finesse properities.

Any skills, spells, or features that need a type of weapon, your gunblade can still fulfill that condition if one of its parts uses that same weapon, however, that effect will end once you switch to its other form.

> ##### Ruling on Fighting Styles
> Example: You have a gunblade that is a greatsword melee component, you can still use Great Weapon Fighting Sytle, but switch to a pepperbox form. You lose the ability to use Great Weapon Fighting Style while in this form.

## Using Weapon Mastery
What really brings this system to shine is the Weapon Mastery System. Without it, the trick weapon system is limited and stripped down to simply extra attacking and damage numbers, with properties alone not cutting up.

With weapon mastery, the individual weapons in both parts of the trick weapon have their seperate masteries. For example: A rapier form of a trick weapon has its Vex Mastery. Its second form, the whip, will have its Slow Mastery. But they cannot have the other's Mastery.

Below, however, is not only the mastery system, but it expanded with more weapon types and masteries. Some may not appear in the table, but can be swapped in.

You can use a weapon's mastery if you are  proficient in said weapon. You may swap a weapon's mastery to another if that mastery meets the requirments if you spend downtime practicing with the weapon.

## Acquiring a Hybrid Weapon
To obtain a Hybrid Weapon, when starting out in a game, the character can take any two weapons they start with and have them combined into one.

In any levels above 1, a player can start out with an additional weapon they are proficient with, and combine that with any other weapons they started with before the adventure begins.

In the middle of the adventure, any character with downtime can craft a hybrid weapon with the ones they have access to. Artificers, those who can use and are proficient with Tinkers tools and Smith tools are also able to craft one.

Any blacksmith in any town or city can also craft and upgrade a hybrid weapon. Combination services usually takes the medium price of the two weapons. If a player wants their current weapons combined, it is half of the lowest cost weapon.

## Maneuvers for All

This is a optional rule that takes the Maneuvers of the Fighter's Battle Master subclass, and allows martial classes to use them without the need to multiclass or aquire a feat.

The following chart provides progression for when and how many superority dice and Maneuvers the martial classes learn from the battle master maneuver list

### What is considered "Martial Level"

Any class that starts out with giving profiency in martial weapons or focuses on melee combat. For example: the following Classes ***Fighter, Barbarian, Blood Hunter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger & Rogue*** Use this line of thinking for any other homebrewed classes added.

### Applying Maneuvers or Mastery to Attacks

You can only apply either a weapon mastery OR a Maneuver, not both, to an attack.

### Difference between Weapon Mastery & Maneuvers

Masteries are basic function of the weapon, its also a fallback free effect you can apply. Maneuvers are learned techniques that you learn.

### Multiclassing

Using any two classes that are martial are combined. For example: For a level 7 character with 2 levels in fighter, and 5 levels in barbarian, they are a martial level 7.

But if they are a level 8 character with 2 levels in fighter, 5 levels in barbarian, and 1 in wizard, you are still a martial level 7.

### DC

Any maneuver that calls for a DC, use the following:

<div style='margin-top:20px'></div>
 
 <font face='scalysans' size='2'>
 
 <center> 
 
 **Maneuver Save DC** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> 8 + your proficiency bonus + 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> your your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice) modifier </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:12px'></div>

</font>

All Hybrid Weapons have the ability to transform into their other form.

**Transform.** Once per turn, you may gave up half your movement to transform your weapon into its other form. This can be done in between your attack actions if you have something that grants another attack, such as extra attack, but still costing half your movement. After transforming, you may use one more attack with that weapon you transformed into with the new statistics, if able.

#### Hybrid Mastery
*Requirement: Trick Weapon or Gunblade, 8th level*

You have started to master the power of switching to and fo your hybrid weapon, sometimes, swapping or using part of your weapons other form without fully transforming. You may use the Weapon Mastery of one form of your weapon on the another.

#### Desperate Swap
*Requirement: Trick Weapon or Gunblade, 8th level*

You have learned how to get that extra juice of your weapon to start transforming even after using half your movement already. You may do this once per turn to transform your weapon once more, and gain +10 to the damage roll of the resulting damage.

***However,*** doing it this way will open you up to attacks. Enemies will have a chance to perform a attack of opporunity on you if you are in their melee range.

#### Point-Blank Parry Shot
*Prerequisite: level 8, Gunblade or Firearm with Firearm Profiency*

If a medium sized creature's attack misses you while you have a firearm/Gunblade in your hand, you can use your reaction to expend a piece of ammunition to fire point-blank.

Make the attack with Disadvantage. If the attack hits, it counts as a critical from the firearm.

#### Burst Parry
*Prerequisite: Gunblade, level 8*

You gain the ability to explosively block enemy strikes. When creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to spent your ammunition and add +3 to your AC for that attack, potentially causing the attack to miss you.

\columnbreak

#### Gun Flame
*Prerequisite: Level: 12, Gunblade, with a Firearm Component with a reload score of 2 or higher*

When you use your Transform as part of the Transform attack, you can expend two Ammunitions at once to cause a conal explosion behind the target creature. Each creature in a 15 foot cone behind the target creature, including the target creature, must make a Dexterity saving throw against (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier). A creature takes additional 1d10 fire damage to your normal weapon damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

#### Blade Mastery

You master the versatile weapon family of swords: estocs, greatswords, katanas, longswords, rapiers, scimitars and shortswords. You gain the following benefits when wielding any of them:
* On your turn, you can use your reaction to
assume a parrying stance, provided you have the weapon in hand. Doing so grants you a +2 bonus to your AC for one attack.
* Creatures provoke opportunity attacks from you when they begin their movement while within your reach, not just when they leave it.
* When you make an opportunity attack with the weapon, you have advantage on the attack roll

#### Critical Finisher
You learned how to finish off targets with lethal precision with weapons of the Finisher Mastery.

* When you roll the extra damage of the Finisher Mastery and roll the maximum number, you can roll it again and add the result to the damage. You can keep going if the next die roll hits the max number.
* Once per turn, if you do have advantage on the target, you can forgo the advantage. If that attack hits, it triggers the Finisher Mastery extra damage die.
* You cannot have the option to make this attack non-lethal.

#### Dual Weilder
You master fighting with two weapons, gaining the following benefits:
* You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand.
* You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one- handed melee weapons you are wielding aren't light.
* You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one, even if those weapons aren't light.
