Sci-Fi HandheldVeltrix Arc-Fork Rifle
rare rifle — charge fire
Damage: 3d8 ion
Range: long
Ammo Capacity: 24
Energy Cost: 2
Passive: The forked barrel generates a persistent arc field. All loaded rounds are ion-charged, converting kinetic damage to ion damage.
On Hit: Ion-charged rounds reduce the target's energy resistances by 1 tier until the start of your next turn.
Activated: Overcharge Shot: Spend 1 full action and 4 energy to fire a supercharged round. Deals 6d8 ion damage in a 5ft-wide line. Each creature in line makes a DC 15 reflex save or is stunned for 1 round.
On Critical Hit: The arc field surges. Target takes an additional 2d6 emp damage and loses their next reaction.
The Veltrix Arc-Fork Rifle uses standard rifle proficiency. On each attack, expend 1 ammo and 2 energy. The weapon's forked emitter passively charges all chambered rounds with ion energy — no action required. Standard attacks deal 3d8 ion damage. Overcharge Shot requires 4 energy and a full action; all creatures in a 30ft line must make a DC 15 Dexterity save, taking 6d8 ion damage on a failure or half on success. Stunned targets lose their next reaction. The rifle must be reloaded after expending all 24 rounds (bonus action with a power cell).
