A portable railgun is a scaled down version of the [[Siege Railgun (3.5e Equipment)|siege railgun]]; it's bulky and blocky and typically fired over the shoulder. It possesses truly amazing stopping power; however, it is extremely difficult to use. The portable railgun requires [[strength|Str]] 15 to wield in the first place, with a −2 penalty on attack rolls. At Str 19, the penalty to attack rolls vanishes. If you fire the portable railgun when your [[strength]] score is below 19, you move 10 ft. back and must make [[SRD:Balance Skill|balance]] check (DC 15) or fall [[SRD:Prone|prone]]. A nonproficient creature always counts its strength as 8 points lower for the purpose of using a portable railgun and does not get a balance check to avoid falling [[SRD:Prone|prone]] after firing. A proficient creature adds its [[dexterity]] modifier to the damage roll with a portable railgun.

The portable railgun ignores hardness and [[SRD:Damage Reduction|DR]] (except DR/—) and counts as a siege weapon. The shot is fired with extreme force, and causes a sonic boom that [[SRD:Deafened|deafens]] all creatures in 5 ft of the path of the projectile for 3 rounds, DC 20 [[fortitude]] negates; the railgun has a sound shield built-in, making the wielder immune to this effect. The projectile goes so fast that any shot which successfully slays a creature or destroys an object continues on to attack creatures or objects behind it, with a cumulative −4 penalty on the attack roll. On a critical threat, the struck creature must make a DC 10 + 1/2 BAB + attack ability score modifier (usually [[Dexterity]]) [[Reflex]] save or fall [[SRD:Prone|prone]].

The portable railgun fires [[Railgun Sabot (3.5e Equipment)|railgun sabots]] and requires an [[Energy Cell (3.5e Equipment)|energy cell]] for each shot. It is possible to use a [[Fusion Cell (3.5e Equipment)|fusion cell]] instead of an [[Energy Cell (3.5e Equipment)|energy cell]]; doing so allows the railgun to fire without needing the cell to be changed. The portable railgun holds a single cell and up to 50 sabots; changing the cell is a move action, while reloading the sabot magazine is a full-round action. </onlyinclude>

A portable railgun is always a masterwork weapon.
