Derringer crossbows resemble [[SRD:Hand Crossbow|hand crossbows]] for their small size and weight, and pack an extreme punch for their small size.  This power comes at a price, for the simple mechanics are made of cheap wood and iron, and the stress of firing the crossbow breaks it in the process.  Derringer crossbows are designed only to fire a single powerful shot before needing to be repaired, and loading a derringer crossbow is a full round action.  Once loaded, it cannot be unloaded.

Due to its fragile design, opponents get a +2 on Sunder checks against it to destroy it.  In addition there is little point to enhancing the crossbow itself.  The bolts may still be worth enhancing.  You can fire a derringer crossbow one handed with no penalty.

Derringer crossbows count as hand crossbows, and share proficiency and any feats which apply (such as [[SRD:Weapon Focus|Weapon Focus (hand crossbow)]]).

You gain a +2 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks made to conceal a derringer crossbow on your body.
