Blooming Gunlash

Weapon (revolver / flail), rare

An oversized snub revolver with a spool of wire at the end of its grip. This intimidating design was made in an effort to speed the transition between a Hunter’s close and long-ranged arsenal.

Trick Weapon. You can use a Bonus Action to transform this weapon from a revolver to a flail or vice versa. The DCs for any Saving Throws using this weapon’s properties equal 8 plus the ability modifier used to make an attack with it plus your Proficiency Bonus. You can use the Transform Attacks of trick weapons a total number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus before finishing a short rest.

Booming Burst. As an action with this weapon while it is loaded, you can choose to fire all of its chambers at once in a massive burst. Each creature within a 10 foot cone originating from you must make a Dexterity Saving Throw. On a failure, a creature takes 2d6 piercing damage for each round fired from the weapon, or half as much on a success. While in its flail form, the cone is increased to 20 feet, but it deals 1d6 piercing damage for each round instead.

Fire Bloom (Transform Attack). After you make an attack with this weapon while in its revolver form, you can use a Bonus Action to transform it into a flail, then immediately use the Booming Burst property without spending an action.

Reel Loading (Transform Attack). After you make an attack with this weapon while in its flail form, you can use a Bonus Action to transform it into a revolver and immediately reload it.

A true Hunter of Beasts is marked by their prowess in both melee and ranged combat. They must know when to best exploit a foe’s savage strikes for a critical counterattack, opening them up to their own brutality. It became the goal of many workshops to integrate both maneuvers into a single killing tool, resulting in intricate amalgamations of melee weapons and firearms. Sometimes, to kill a beast, all that’s needed is a bit more kick.
