Big Boom Gun
An oversized hand cannon trades reliability for raw power, rewarding a shooter willing to risk the barrel exploding in their own face.
Developed by a goblin weaponsmith who missed the 'hand' part of 'hand cannon', this comically-oversized gun has a heavily reinforced barrel and is loaded with a worrisome quantity of gunpowder. This Hand Cannon is a martial weapon, instead of a simple weapon. It has the fatal d12 trait and a range increment of 20 feet. It also has the following modified critical failure condition:
Critical Failure The attack misses, the weapon misfires, and you take 1d12 fire damage as it explodes in your face.
Big boom guns and spoon guns are modified versions of hand cannons with potential benefits and drawbacks alike, rather than separate weapons. If you have access to the spoon gun or big boom gun modifications, you can purchase them whenever you would purchase a hand cannon, and effects that depend upon and apply to hand cannons apply to both weapons.
