Firearm/Weapon Feats

Ammo Specialization

Benefit: Adds ability to equip specific ammo types to projectile weapons.

Normal: Not trained with special ammos.

BONUS RANGED DAMAGE

Your experience with ranged weapons gives the advantage when it comes to dealing damage.

Prerequisite: BAB +6, Dexterity 12, Wisdom 12

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to damage with all ranged weapons.

Special: This feat can be taken twice.

BRACING

You know how to handle weapons as big as you with ease.

Prerequisite: Strength 16, Weapon Proficiency: any large size

Benefit: You receive +2 to hit with guns of large size than you when in a standing position.

Burst Fire

Prerequisite: Dexterity 14, Double Tap, Proficiency With an Automatic Weapon

Benefit: When using an automatic weapon with at least five rounds loaded, the character may fire a short burst as a single attack against a single target. The character receives a –4 penalty on the attack roll, but deal +2 dice of damage.

Firing a burst expends five bullets and can only be done if the weapon has five bullets in it.

Normal: Autofire uses ten bullets, targets a 10-foot-by-10-foot area, and can’t be aimed at a specific target. Without this feat, if a character attempts an autofire attack at a specific target, it simply counts as a normal attack and all the extra bullets are wasted.

Special: If the firearm has a three-round burst setting, firing a burst expends three bullets instead of five and can be used if the weapon has only three bullets in it.

Dead Aim

Prerequisite: Dexterity 12, Wisdom 10, Far Shot.

Benefit: Before making a ranged attack, the character may take a full-round action to line up your shot. This grants the character a +2 circumstance bonus on his or her next attack roll. Once the character begins aiming, he or she can’t move, even to take a 5-foot step, until after the character makes his or her next attack, or the benefit of the feat is lost.

Likewise, if the character’s concentration is disrupted or the character is attacked before his or her next action, the character loses the benefit of aiming.

Double Tap

Prerequisite: Dexterity 13.

Benefit: When using a semiautomatic firearm with at least two bullets loaded, the character may fire two bullets as a single attack against a single target. The character receives a –2 penalty on this attack, but deals +1 die of damage with a successful hit. Using this feat fires two bullets and can only be done if the weapon has two bullets in it.

Far Shot

Benefit: When the character uses a firearm or archaic ranged weapon, its range increment increases by one-half (multiply by 1.5). When the character throws a weapon, its range increment is doubled.
