Colt Python (3.5e Equipment)

The Colt Python is an extraordinary heavy and large handgun with considerable power. It has a powerful kickback and great weight. Colt Pythons automatically reload for 6 shots before needing reloading as a move action. You add your Dexterity to damage with a Colt Python. The recoil is so intense that you take a -1 cumulative penalty after each shot you fire in the round. If you have a strength of 13 you do not take this penalty.

Normally, operating a colt python requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, a colt python with one hand at a -2 penalty on attack rolls. If you have a strength of 13 the penalty is reduced to -1, and to 0 at strength 15.

On a critical threat (not a critical hit), the target must make a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 BAB + Dex) or be knocked prone. Even on a successful save, they take a -2 penalty to AC for 1 round from being knocked off center.
