# Rohar Forging
Weapon crafting with Scindeterior materials has improved martial capabilities of adventurers by leaps and bounds. Spearheaded by the genius blacksmith Johar and his disciples, a new discipline of weapon forging was created, dubbed Rohar Forging.
## Materials
Materials used have a main characteristic, known as its Grade. The Grade of a material determines the damage dice of a weapon crafted from it. Some materials may have additional effects.
#### Basic Weapon
Martial melee weapon with damage equal to Grade, choice of Slashing, Piercing or Bludgeoning (chosen when forged) and no other keywords.
## Grade and Level
When a weapon refers to a Damage Dice Grade, Range Level, or increasing or decreasing a grade or level, refer to the tables below.
##### Damage Dice Progression
| Grade | Dice |
|---|---|
| Grade 9 | 3d8 |
| Grade 8 | 2d10 |
| Grade 7 | 3d6 |
| Grade 6 | 2d8 |
| Grade 5 | 3d4 |
| Grade 4 | 2d6 |
| Grade 3 | 1d12 |
| Grade 2 | 1d10 |
| Grade 1 | 1d8 |
| Inferior | 1d6 |
| Abysmal | 1d4 |
| Junk | 1 |
##### Range Progression
| Level | Range |
|---|---|
| Level 5 | 150/600 |
| Level 4 | 100/400 |
| Level 3 | 80/320 |
| Level 2 | 50/200 |
| Level 1 | 30/120 |
| Mediocre | 20/60 |
| Wretched | 5/15 |
### Enhancements
The key feature of Rohar Forging is enhancement. A weapon may be enhanced any number of times, but it may not have the same enhancement twice. Boltcaster Enhancements may only be taken by Boltcasters.

### Eldritch Infusions
Within certain materials, a spark of wild magic endures still. By forging these into a weapon, the magical properties of the material suffuse the weapon. Unless otherwise stated, a weapon can only have one infusion at a time. Materials spent to infuse a weapon are lost, even if the infusion is later removed. Infused weapons are counted as magical.

## Keywords
#### Ammunition
You can use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a ranged Attack only if you have Ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you Attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of Ammunition. Drawing the Ammunition from a Quiver, case, or other container is part of the Attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended Ammunition by taking a minute to Search the battlefield. If you use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a melee Attack, you treat the weapon as an Improvised Weapon (see “Improvised Weapons” later in the section). A sling must be loaded to deal any damage when used in this way.
#### Brutish
When making an Attack with a brutish weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Constitution modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
#### Caestus
This weapon can be used to make unarmed strikes and can be wielded without a free hand. If the weapon has the Two-handed or Versatile keywords, the Caestus keyword has no effect.
#### Chained
As an Object Interaction, you may use a free hand to recover a thrown chained weapon. However, a chained weapon cannot be thrown beyond the normal range.
#### Finesse
When making an Attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
#### Heavy
Small Creatures have disadvantage on Attack rolls with heavy Weapons. A heavy weapon’s size and bulk make it too large for a Small creature to use effectively.
#### Light
A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when Fighting with two Weapons.
#### Loading
Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of Ammunition from it when you use an Action, bonus Action, or Reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
#### Phial Discharge
A this weapon can load Boltcaster special ammunition with a bonus action. When you make an attack with this weapon while a piece of ammunition is loaded, you may attempt a phial discharge. If that attack hits, you may expend the ammunition to activate its effects as though it was fired at the target of your attack. If you need to make a saving throw against the effects of your own phial discharge, make the saving throw with advantage. When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to make a phial discharge attack, you can make only one attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
#### Range
A weapon that can be used to make a ranged Attack has a range in parentheses after the Ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon’s Long Range. When Attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the Attack roll. You can’t Attack a target beyond the weapon’s Long Range.
#### Reach
This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you Attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for Opportunity Attacks with it.
#### Sagacious
When making an Attack with a sagacious weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Wisdom modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
#### Tactical
When making an Attack with a tactical weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Intelligence modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
#### Tempered
When making an Attack with a tempered weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Charisma modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
#### Thrown
If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged Attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that Attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee Attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a Handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a Dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the Dagger has the finesse property.
#### Two-Handed
This weapon requires two hands when you Attack with it.
#### Versatile
This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee Attack.
## Boltcaster Ammunition
Each piece of basic Boltcaster ammunition costs 5cp. Boltcasters with the Special Issue Ammunition enhancement may also load special ammunition, which is listed below. Unless otherwise stated, the Boltcaster's damage dice is not used for these types of ammunition. Special ammunition cannot be recovered once fired.
### Special Ammunition
-**Airburst Rounds.** 5sp. Airburst rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Thunder damage. The creature hit by these rounds and each creature within 15ft of it must then succeed a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be deafened for 1 hour. The explosion can be heard from 150ft away.
-**Arachnus Shells.** 10gp. A Large or smaller creature hit by arachnus shells is restrained until it is freed. Arachnus shells have no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect.
-**Bladed Rounds.** 1sp. Bladed rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Slashing damage.
-**Blessed/Cursed Rounds.** 5gp. Blessed and Cursed rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Radiant(Blessed) or Necrotic(Cursed) damage.
-**Chromatic Rounds.** 1gp. Chromatic rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning or Poison damage (selected when ammunition is forged).
-**Dragon Vial.** 150gp. Instead of firing this ammunition at a creature, fire it at a point on a surface. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
-**Enenra Vial.** 5gp. Instead of firing this ammunition at a creature, fire it at a point on a surface. Smoke blooms from the point , creating a 20ft cube cloud of smoke orginating from the point that lasts 3 rounds or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it. Creatures and objects in the cloud and seen from through the cloud are heavily obscured. The thick smoke also obstructs breathing, and creatures within this smoke are subject to the Suffocation rules.
-**Hellfire Shells.** 50gp. When hit by a hellfire shell, the target takes 1d4 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a DC 10 Dexterity check to extinguish the flames.
-**Impact Rounds.** 1sp. Impact rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Bludgeoning damage.
-**Kraken Vial.** 5gp. Instead of firing this ammunition at a creature, fire it at a point on a surface. Sticky oil coats an area of radius 10ft around that point, making it difficult terrain.
-**Mindflayer Rounds.** 200gp. Mindflayer rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Psychic damage. The creature hit by these rounds must then make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be Stunned until the start of your next turn.
-**Phoenix Shell.** 50gp. A creature hit by a phoenix shell regains 2d4+2 hit points.
-**Somnus Rounds.** 200gp. Somnus rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Piercing damage. The creature hit by these rounds must then succeed a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is also unconscious while poisoned in this way. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
-**Spectral Rounds.** 10gp. Spectral rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Force damage. The creature hit by these rounds must then succeed a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
-**Venom Rounds.** 200gp. Venom rounds do the Boltcaster's base damage as Piercing damage. The creature hit by these rounds must then make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 3d6 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
