and readied to fire by the user’s sacrifice of a spell that he would otherwise currently be capable of casting. The number of shots provided by the sacrificed spell depends on its level, as follows: Spell Level Shots Acquired * 0 2 1 4 2 8 3 16 4 24 5 32 6 40 7 48 8 56 9 64 * A cannon requires four shots of spell fuel for each pound of its rating in order to be fueled; i.e., a 3 –pounder requires [4x3] 12 shots of spell fuel. “Reloading” between spell-fueled shots is a free action, as the hammer of a firearm only need be pulled back or the breech of a cannon tapped for the next shot to be readied. Channeling the spell into the weapon requires the same amount of time normally needed for the spell, and the caster must be in contact with the weapon as the spell is released. Both arcane and divine spells may be used to power spell-fueled weapons. This special quality cannot be used on ammunition. Strong conjuration; CL 12th; Cra Magic Arms and Armor; Price +3 bonus. New Specific Magic Black Powder Weapons Egelhue’s Musket of Far Killing Originally manufactured by the famous elf ranger-wizard Egelhue Mistcry, this +2 lethal, silent, longeye, penetrating .55 military musket allows its user to kill at a distance with incredible reliability. The musket has a critical multiplier of x4, makes no noise when fired, suffers only half the usual penalties due to range, and has a penetration value of –3 that also works against deflection bonuses. The weapon has since spread across Dracos to be replicated by others, although it has always retained the name of the man who made it famous. Moderate divination; CL 10th; Cra Magic Arms and Armor, Spell Penetration, keen edge, true strike; Price 99,130 gp; Cost 50,130 gp + 3,965 XP. Relgia’s Dueling Pistol First crafted by Relgia the Wily, a mage with an eccentric penchant for challenging his fellow spellcasters to pistol duels rather than single combat by spell, these rare weapons are much sought after by practitioners of the arcane arts and those who would hunt them. Against most opponents, this pistol works as a +2 quick, spellfueled precision pistol, but its true worth is revealed against foes that rely upon magic. Anything shot by this pistol is considered to have been targeted by a dispel magic spell cast by an 8th-level caster, although only the target and its carried possessions (armor, weapons, and so) can be affected. Strong transmutation; CL 12th; Cra Magic Arms and Armor, Spell Penetration, keen edge, dispel magic; Price 146,800 gp; Cost 73,800 gp + 5,872 XP. Chapter Twelve: Magic 151 Volley Bullet Although unassuming in appearance, a single volley bullet can give one musket or pistol user the power of a dozen soldiers fighting as one. A volley bullet looks exactly like a plain lead musket ball, except that it has a fine line of silver filigree circumscribing its middle, dividing it into two identical hemispheres. Loading and firing a volley bullet follows the normal procedure for a bullet of its caliber, but as the bullet leaves the musket or pistol it begins to duplicate itself, doubling the number of bullets flying through the air every two range increments. The moment the bullet emerges from the barrel, it replicates, becoming two identical bullets. These two bullets fly for the weapon’s first two range increments before doubling again. The resulting four bullets fly for two more range increments and turn into eight, and then 16, and then 32 bullets that fly the final two range increments before being entirely spent. The multiplying bullets create a cone of flying lead balls expanding out from the musket. The width of the cone at a given distance from the firer is half its length; i.e., at 10 feet from the firer, the cone is 5 feet wide, and at 150 feet it is 75 feet wide. Because the bullets spread out away from the point they were originally aimed at, they take a -1 aack roll penalty per range increment passed through, starting with the second. This penalty only applies to the original target of the shot, as a bullet angling away from the first target may be squarely pointed at someone else. Range Number of Aack Roll Increment Bullets Penalty* 1 2 0 2 — –1 3 4 –2 4 — –3 5 8 –4 6 — –5 7 16 –6 8 — –7 9 32 –8 10 — –9 *Only applies to the original target of the shot. As the wave of bullets passes through each range increment, the current number of bullets is divided evenly among all potential targets within the spreading cone at that range. A separate aack is rolled for each bullet, using the firer’s full ranged aack bonus (plus the bullet’s enhancement bonus, minus range penalties and the special penalty on aacks against the original target). Those that hit do the same damage as a normal bullet of the volley bullet’s caliber (plus its enhancement bonus). Those that miss by 5 or less continue on to aack targets in the next range increment. Those bullets that miss by 6 or more plow into the dirt or other obstacles that stop them. If any bullets are lost from the volley bullet spread because they hit a person or object, then the number of bullets le to duplicate further down range is reduced; i.e., if one bullet of a four-bullet volley hits a target in the third or fourth range increment, only three bullets will remain to double at the start of the fih increment, resulting in 6, 12, and 24 bullets down range (instead of the 8, 16, and 32 of an uninterrupted spread). Only if no constituent bullets hit targets (or missed targets by more than 6) along the way will a full spread of 32 replicated bullets make it to the very end of the musket’s maximum range. Volley bullets are one-use magic items. Aer their initial flight, none of the constituent bullets, either alone or in a group, retain any magical powers -- even their enhancement bonus disappears. They
152 are found in a variety of calibers, logically enough favoring those who use mage pistols and other low-damage weapons. No volley cannonballs, Eagle bullets, goblin fangs, or fowling piece pellets are known to have been created. d20 Bullet Caliber 1-5 .22 6-9 .32 10-11 .44 12-15 .50 16-17 .55 18-19 .69 20 .90 The silver detailing on a volley bullet is not sufficient to cause any additional harm to a lycanthrope, and silver volley bullets are never found. If a volley bullet is silver-plated, the plating is destroyed the first time the bullet doubles. The Hawkeye feat (see page 113) doesn’t apply when using a volley bullet. A marksman’s calm aim, dead eye, disarming shot, maiming shot, deadly aim, and one shot, one kill abilities cannot be used with volley bullets, nor can a pistoleer’s trick shots of the same name or the precise aim ability. Using the ricochet trick shot with a volley bullet, a pistoleer takes a –4 penalty to his attack roll. (See Chapter Nine: Prestige Classes for the marksman and pistoleer.) Moderate conjuration; CL 8th; Cra Magic Arms and Armor, minor creation; Price (for 10) 18,307 gp (+1), 32,307 gp (+2), 50,307 (+3), 72,307 (+4), 98,307 (+5); Cost (for 10) 9,307 gp + 732 XP (+1), 18,307 gp + 1,292 XP (+2), 25,307 gp + 2,012 XP (+3), 36,307 gp + 2,892 XP (+4), 49,307 gp + 3,932 XP (+5). New Wondrous Items Arkanocles’ Powder (Minor Item) Empowered by Arkanocles’ faithful, this blessed black powder is twice as powerful by weight as normal black powder. As such, the amount of powder needed to prime and reload a firearm or artillery piece is halved. It also means that blowing up a store of Arkanocles’ powder has twice the normal effect for the given amount of powder. In addition, a firearm or artillery piece using Arkanocles’ powder is immune to misfires involving its powder; all misfire results other than jams are ignored. If Arkanocles’ powder is mixed with regular powder, it loses all its magical benefits. d% Amount 01-50 20 oz. (powder horn) 51-80 30 oz. (powder horn) 81-90 50 oz. (powder horn) 91-98 240 oz. (keg) 99-00 640 oz. (keg) Strong enchantment; CL 14th; Cra Wondrous Item, Cra (alchemy) 12 ranks, bless, creator must be a priest of Arkanocles, creator must have selected the Craing domain; Price 12 gp per oz.; Cost 6 gp + ½ XP per oz. Bracers of Arcane Arsenal (Major Item) These rare metal bracers, engraved and embossed with images of bale, allow a single person to become a walking arsenal. The bracers are able to magically store personal equipment, weapons, and armor in a dimensional pocket, allowing the wearer to call the Chapter Twelve: Magic desired item by spending a standard action while speaking the command word. When a piece of equipment is summoned, it automatically appears in the appropriate location; a cape appears around the wearer’s shoulders and a dagger appears in either a boot or hanging from his belt (depending on where it was kept before it was stored by the bracers). Speaking the second command word returns the item to storage or fills the spot le by the original item with a new piece of equipment; the user must have physical contact with the item to place it into storage. The bracers may store the following amount of items, by type, at any given time: 3 headbands, hats, or helmets (1) 2 pairs of lenses or goggles (1) 4 cloaks, capes, or mantles (2) 6 amulets, brooches, medallions, necklaces, periapts, or scarabs (1) 2 suits of armor (3) 2 robes (2) 10 tiny or small weapons (1 per two weapons) 4 medium-size weapons (1; a quiver of arrows or bag of bullets counts as one weapon) 2 large weapons (2) 4 vests, vestments, or shirts (1) 2 pairs of gauntlets or gloves (1) 10 rings (1) 3 belts (1) 4 pairs of boots or shoes (1) Every instance of an item being summoned or returned to storage also requires the expenditure of charges. The bracers have 10 charges per day with the number of charges used to summon or return each item of a specific type being given in parenthesis. Moderate conjuration; CL 8th; Cra Wondrous Item, secret chest, instant summons; Price 54,000 gp; Cost 27,000 gp + 2,160 XP. Bulging Bag of Bullets (Minor Item) Although it may look like a simple, worn leather bullet pouch, this item is far more than that. By reaching into the bag, a person can always find and pull forth a bullet of the bag’s designated type (see chart). The bag never runs out, although no more than 50 rounds of ammunition may be pulled from it per day. Any object put into the bag and released within disappears, never to be retrieved again. Note: Only bullets, not powder charges for loading or priming, are to be found in the bag. Roll to randomly determine what type of bullet is to be found in the bag or select one. Roll Type 1-2 .22 3-4 .32 5-6 .44 7-8 .44 Eagle 9-10 .50 11-12 .55 13-14 .69 15-16 .90 17-18 Goblin fang 19-20 Fowling cartridge Faint conjuration; CL 5th; Cra Wondrous Item, secret chest; Price 2,500 gp; Cost 1,250 gp + 100 XP. Bottomless Powder Horn (Minor Item) This item appears as a normal 30 oz. powder horn except for the arcane runes tracing its base and mouth. No maer how oen black powder is poured from a boomless powder horn, it never empties,
