  •   Magazine Size: 1 (each payload counts as one shot)   Special Maneuvers
  • Scrapshot - Fire up to 15lbs of junk objects loaded in the launcher's feed mechanism. Each pound of junk adds 1d4 AP II Bludgeoning damage. The path affects a 90 by 5 foot line. Any targets caught in the path must make a Dexterity saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Dexterity or Intelligence modifier. A target that succeeds on its saving throw only takes half damage. A target that fails its saving throw takes the rolled damage and is knocked prone. This maneuver is always non-lethal and deals double the rolled damage to poise.
  • Launch Devices - Launch a number of devices, equal to your Proficiency Bonus, up to 135 feet to a point of your choosing. Grenades and similar objects with an area of effect inherit their original properties for that area of effect. The feed mechanism can be changed out for a larger feed mechanism to launch double the objects.
  •   Special Properties
  • Junk Launcher - Up to 15 lbs of assorted objects can be launched by this weapon at a time. The mass is increased by modifying the compressor (gas system). The mass increases by 5 lbs for Improved, then 10 lbs for Advanced, and 15 lbs for Masterwork gas systems.
  • Stealthy - Despite its whiny little compressor motor's noise, it doesn't attract nearly as much attention as a firearm. Targets outside of 30 feet are not alerted to the user after firing. After attacking, roll a Stealth check versus the chosen target's Passive Perception.
  •   Loading: Loads the projectiles as part of the attack.   Jamming: This weapon does not jam   Handling: 2-Handed

    One of Tahir's pneumatic inventions, this device is a complex set of valves, PVC pipes, a compressor, a trigger mechanism, and a feed mechanism. It allows for various assorted objects to be fed into a chamber via the feed mechanism, then it closes the chamber shut. The trigger mechanism drives the small electric compressor motor (with baffles designed to reduce noise), which then pressurizes an air tank. The air tank has a separate valve with a set amount of pressure tolerance, which once pressurized enough, unleashes the compressed air, making a satisfying bloop sound.
