Flintlock Musket (3.5e Equipment)

The flintlock musket is an early smoothbore rifle. On a critical fail the weapon jams requiring a full round action to repair. To account for the unpredictability of the rifles when shooting roll 1d4, and subtract the roll from the attack roll. These weapons are rather fragile, but the butt end of the rifle can be used as a quarterstaff of equivalent size with a -2 to attack rolls. The butt may deal non-lethal damage, the bullet may not. Any mishandling of the weapon has complications which are left to the DM's discretion. Larger and smaller sized flintlock muskets are very rare. If made masterwork the 1d4 roll to subtract from the attack roll is removed, but no other masterwork bonuses are added. This weapon may be used for a coup d'etat at point blank range. For a proficient user the weapon can be reloaded in a full round action, directly after being reloaded, as a part of the same full round action, the user may fire the weapon.
