Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

wysiwyg: "Ah, I see Sir is a man of taste. If you'll come right this way, Sir," the gentleman motions towards a glass display with two small, wooden cases inside. Moving to the other side of the display, opposite of you, the man pulls both cases out and opens them revealing two different kinds of intricately designed pistols.

"Now this one," the man begins, removing a dragon pistol with several chambers behind the barrel, "is called the rapid fire dragon pistol. It has been designed to be loaded with six different shots which can be fired before reloading. Please keep in mind that it requires the standard firearms permit, so that Sir may avoid trouble here in the city. Such a permit costs 10 thrones. On the other hand, each round will cost Sir one and a half thrones which can become rather expensive over time if Sir is the kind of individual who often finds himself in a target-rich environment. Reloading typically takes two hands and several seconds, although as Sir can see this weapon is well-balanced and easily fired with one hand, while giving a 5% greater accuracy than the normal model. Currently we are selling this model for eight thousand, five hundred and fifty thrones, versus the two hundred and fifty thrones for the standard version."

He places the first beautifully crafted pistol to the side and shows the second version, which looks like a dragon pistol that has a demonic face at the end of the barrel as if the mouth was that of a fiend ready to spit bullets. "Now, Sir, I hesitate to mention this since it is a very expensive model, but I can see that you have the distinct tastes of a true conneisseur. This is called the demon gun, and it's the perfect way to tell that certain someone that you don't like them. The gun has a demon bound to it that generates its own ammunition and therefore the pistol never needs reloading, and it seems to be about 5% more accurate and 10% more damaging than the normal model. Also, you may command it twice a day to fire an unholy round. This can be yours for twenty-four thousand, five hundred and fifty thrones."

OOC: One throne = 1 gp. A standard dragon pistol does 1d12 points of damage and has a critical of x3, a range increment of 50, has a weight of 2 lbs, and costs 250gp.

Would i stil get the stat bonuses, large size if i go with the version with only one hitdie increase?. that sounds great since i will have enough levels left to take some warshaper levels then.

You would get the stat bonuses, but I have a question about the size myself. Are you going for wereboar or werebear? The wereboar seems to be medium size, while the werebear is large, which is why I ask. Either way I would go with the size as dictacted in the MM.
 


"I'm afraid the association of a demon gun is too undesirable. However, a pair of these fine dragon fire pistols will be more than adequate. I will shortly send a courier to deliver a certified letter of credit in the amount of seventeen thousand one hundred thrones to your person. Kindly deposit these pistols with him.”
Tipping the brim of his hat and a sleight bow, Kareus removes himself from the premises.

OOC: I am working on Kareus's background & spec's.
 

Bedford: Double sounds about right.

wysiwyg: Don't forget that each round of ammunition will cost you 1.5gp, so you will want to include that. Reloading a six-shooter is a move action and requires two hands, but firing will cost one. Don't forget to pick one of the previously mentioned technology groups as a contact for where you get your supplies, and if you just pick a name I can provide the details unless you want to provide some of your own.

Isn't Rapid Fire a +2 enchantment, making a Rapid Fire Dragon Pistol +1 18,550 gp? This might change my shopping list.

It's not in the examples given, but that math looks to be right. 250gp (for the weapon) + 300gp (for masterwork) + 18,000gp (for +1 enchantment, and rapid fire together). I am willing for someone to have just the rapid fire adjustment with a non-magical masterwork firearm and consider it engineered vs magical (hence the above-mentioned 8,550gp for that model).

Hope that helps, and wysiwyg, you probably want to know about the +1 magical enhancement you can have in addition to rapid fire.

Farmboy: Really nice build on Morty. I noticed that you seemed to have an amount of unused skill points, and a higher normal of languages. Did you swap one for the other? Also, I'm having trouble finding Augment Elemental, Rapid Summoning, and the Enhanced Summoning feats in the books you referenced. Is it possible I can get a page number for those three? Everything else looks good.

Yes, the unused skill points should equal the points from the extra languages and skill tricks. I also didn't add any skill points for magically increased intelligence, not sure if that applies.

Also, here are the page numbers you requested:
Magic of Eberron Augment Elemental (pg. 46)
Unearthed Arcana Rapid Summoning, Enhanced Summoning (pg. 60)
