Firepowder Weapons

Firepowder is a magical formula of potential fire bound into inert rare earths that expands into a explosive burst of flame on contact with water.

Fire cannons are loaded with a sealed canister of brass filled with firepowder fitted with a solid head of steel. The canister is ringed with dimples that line up with the triggering mechanism, a hole drilled through a raised nub which is threaded on the out side. The hole is filled partially with water and the trigger is screwed on by a lever, locked down, then the pin is struck with a hammer.

Fire pistols and Riot guns use a break open action to load a single round of steel and firepowder incased in a brass cartridge incased in a second brass cartridge with a copper bottom holding a small amount of water. The pistol is by taking a move equivalent action to pulling back a locking mechanism and then pulling back a triggering hammer. By pulling the trigger the hammer springs forward to drive a pin through both the copper bottom and the inner brass case while the locking mechanism reinforces the hammer.

Fire rifles use a level action to load a single round of rifle ammo that is fired by a similar firing mechanism to the pistol.

Fire cannons are slow but safe, only jamming on a roll of 1. Firearms with triggering mechanism jam on a roll or 5 or less and are destroyed on a 1.

Targets within 10' hit by a Firepowder weapon suffer additional 1d6 fire damage.
