Abilities
Whiplash —
Manly Left Hook — A creature struck by Gerhard's punch must succeed at a DC 23 Fortitude save or be Stunned 1 (or Stunned 3 on a critical failure).
Shoddy Blunderbuss — Gerhard fires an explosive shot from his blunderbuss that deals 4d6 bludgeoning plus 2d10 fire{4d6 bludgeoning damage plus 2d10 fire damage} to all creatures in a 30-foot cone (DC 26 Reflex).
When firing the blunderbuss, Gerhard must succeed at a DC 20 Crafting or DC 20 Engineering-lore{Engineering Lore} check or the weapon explodes, damaging him for the same amount as the creatures in the cone and destroying itself. If someone other than Gerhard uses the weapon, they must critically succeed at the check. A successful DC 22 Crafting check is enough to confirm the weapon's unstable nature if someone examines it beforehand.
Reloading the blunderbuss takes 3 Interact actions: adding 1 dose of gunpowder, adding 1 grapeshot canister, and packing the contents.
