Weapon Descriptions

Elfblade

An elvish forerunner of the rapier, the elfblade is a light, precise cutting weapon with a razor's edge.

Quarterstaff

The wizard's staff can be an effective weapon in deft hands. The finesse ability is only usable when the quarterstaff is used in two hands. It is possible to let go of the weapon to cast a spell, and then return to a two-handed grip.

Musket

A musket is a high caliber smooth bore weapon made to produce a high volume of fire against big targets, such as massed infantry.

Arqebus

This overlong smoothbore weapon is a precursor of the musket. It must be fired lying down, braced, or using a fork support (included). As you must stand up to load it, lying down to fire it is generally impractical. This is an earlier weapon than the musket, and more common at this time.

Rifled Musket

An expensive hunting weapon of comparatively fine caliber. The barrel is rifled, which stabilizes the bullet through rotation.

Pistol

A high-quality, thin-calibre wheelock pistol made for precision. Slow to reload and fragile, they seldom saw use on the battlefield, but these weapons were quite popular in duels.

Cavalry Pistol

Really a short carbine, the cavalry pistol is made to be as dangerous as a single-hand firearm can be.

Snuff Gun

An early holdout pistol, the snuff gun is a small caliber, short barrel weapon concealed in some everyday item - a snuff box is the most popular, but everything from cutlery to holy symbols can have guns fitted in them. However, the craftsmanship is such that any close inspection will reveal the weapon for what it is. In addition, carrying one of these weapons around primed is quite dangerous.

Pepper-box Pistol

Multiple pistol barrels rotated to face the hammer one after the other, the pepper-box allows multiple shots without reloading. The lack of robustness makes the mechanism unreliable, and each barrel is only as powerful as a snuff gun.

Blunderbuss

A primitive precursor of the shotgun, a blunderbuss is a short, high-caliber musket firing shot; in an emergency it can be loaded with gravel, or whatever junk is available when loading it. The trademark flared muzzle assists in loading, but was not generally very pronounced. It is mainly a weapon for city fighting and shipboard defense. The blunderbuss attacks all targets in a cone out to its range.

Dragon

The pistol version of the blunderbuss, itself a primitive precursor of the shotgun, this is is a high-caliber pistol firing shot. The trademark flared muzzle assists in loading, but was generally not very pronounced. It is a cavalry or ship boarding weapon. The dragon attacks all targets in a cone out to its range.

Accessories

Shot and Powder

Powder is very expensive, costing 1 gp per shot, and cannot be recovered after the battle. Shit is cheap, at 1 gp per 100 shots. The powder is the same for all firearms, while shot is made for a specific type of firearm but easily crafted in the field.
