Ammunition (Firearm): Bullet, Rubber
These bullets consist of a small, metal core covered in natural or alchemical rubber.
Weapon Feature(s): nonlethal
Weapon Rules
Alchemical Items as Weapons
[Edit]
Many alchemical items are often thrown or hurled, and then break to make “splash” attacks. If the item has a DC, the DC increases by 2 for every +4 base attack bonus of the thrower. For every 10 the attack roll beats the target DV, the item's damage and splash damage are applied again. Unless otherwise described, alchemical items have a range increment of 10 feet.
Instead of targeting a creature, you can make a ranged attack with a splash weapon against a 5 by 5 foot square area (DV 5 plus range penalties.)
If you hit: The target is dealt by the item's damage, and creatures in all adjacent squares are dealt splash damage. No creatures take direct hit damage if you target a square area.
If you miss: First, roll 1d8 to determine the misdirection of the throw.
- 1: Falls short (straight line towards the thrower.)
- 2 through 8: Count around the target creature or grid intersection in a clockwise direction.
- Then, count a number of squares in the indicated direction equal to the number of range increments thrown. The thrown object lands that number of spaces away from the target.
- Finally, the item deals splash damage (if any) to all creatures in the square it lands in and in all adjacent squares.
Damage
Melee Weapons: You add your Strength modifier and Dexterity modifier to your damage roll. When you wield a weapon of the same size category as you or larger with two hands, add 1.5 times your Strength bonus and 1.5 times your Dexterity to the damage rolls on melee attacks (in addition to the increased damage die from the Two-Hand weapon trait if present). Negative Strength or Dexterity modifiers are never multiplied.
A weapon wielded in your off-hand gains only half of your Strength bonus and half of your Dexterity bonus to the damage rolls on melee attacks. Negative Strength or Dexterity modifiers are not halved, and are fully applied. Using two hands to wield a light weapon gives no advantage on damage; the Strength and Dexterity bonuses apply as though the weapon were held in your primary hand only.
Thrown Weapons: You apply your Strength modifier and Dexterity modifier to damage dealt by thrown weapons (except for splash weapons). It is possible to throw a weapon that isn’t designed to be thrown (that is, a melee weapon that doesn’t have a Thrown weapon trait), and when you do so, you incur disadvantage on the attack roll. Throwing a light or one-handed weapon is a standard action, while throwing a two-handed weapon is a full action. Regardless of the type of weapon, such an attack scores a threat only on a natural 20 and deals double damage on a critical hit. Such a weapon has a range increment of 10 feet.
Projectile Weapons: When you fire a projectile weapon from one hand, you add your Dexterity modifier to the damage rolls on range attacks. When you wield a projectile weapon with two hands, you add 1.5 times your Dexterity bonus to the damage rolls. A negative Dexterity modifier is never multiplied. You get no Strength bonus on damage rolls with a projectile weapon unless it has the Propulsive trait, in which case you add only half of your Strength bonus. However, if you have a penalty for low Strength, apply the full penalty to damage rolls when you use a propulsive projectile weapon.
If you have an ability to substitute an ability score with a different one for damage, you may choose which ability score (either Strength or Dexterity) to replace.
Firearms
Misfire
If the natural result of your attack roll falls within a firearm’s misfire value, that shot misses, even if you would have otherwise hit the target. When a firearm misfires, it gains the broken condition. While it has the broken condition, it suffers the normal disadvantages that broken weapons do, and its misfire value increases by 4 unless the wielder has gun training in the particular type of firearm (see Gunslinger). In that case, the misfire value increases by 2 instead of 4. You cannot misfire on a critical hit confirmation roll. If you roll a misfire when attempting to confirm a critical hit, just treat it as a normal result of the die (which might confirm the crit or fail to do so).
Simple Firearms: If a simple firearm with the broken condition misfires again, it explodes. When a nonmagical firearm explodes, the weapon is destroyed. Magical firearms are wrecked, which means they can’t fire until they are fully restored (which requires either the make whole spell or the Gunsmithing feat). When a gun explodes, pick one corner of your square—the explosion creates a burst from that point of origin. Each firearm has a burst size noted in parentheses after its misfire value. Any creature within this burst (including the firearm’s wielder) takes damage as if it had been hit by the weapon—a DC 12 Reflex save halves this damage.
Mechanical Firearms: Mechanical firearms can misfire, but when they do, they only gain the broken condition. A further misfire does not cause mechanical firearms to explode.
Natural Attacks
Most monsters and certain races have natural attacks. A creature can only use each of his natural attacks once per turn, but can treat each natural attack as it was a weapon wielded in two hands. If a natural attack is prefaced with a number, such as "2 claws", the creature can use that same natural attack that number of times during their turn. The only exception to this is Unarmed Strike, which is treated as being wielded in one hand, but can be used multiple times during a creature's turn. Natural attacks are part of the Brawling weapon group.
You can use any natural attack to make an attack of opportunity even if you already used that same attack during your turn. Using a natural attack for an attack of opportunity also does not count as its single use for your following turn.
Natural attacks can be used with the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, and count as light weapons to determine the attack roll penalties. You can use a combination of a weapon and a natural attack, or a combination of two different natural attacks. Determine which attack or weapon is the primary attack before making your two-weapon attack. A natural attack selected as the main hand attack adds Strength and Dexterity bonus damage as a weapon wielded in one hand instead of two, and one-half Strength and Dexterity bonus damage when selected as the off-hand attack. A natural attack used as part of a two-weapon attack, either as the primary or off-hand attack, counts as being used for that turn.
Table: Natural Attacks
Natural Attack | Base Damage for Medium Creature | Damage Type |
---|---|---|
Bite | 1d6 | B, P, and S |
Claw | 1d4 | B and S |
Gore | 1d6 | P |

Weapon Groups
Each weapon group has a critical specialization effect that is applied when delivering a critical hit with a weapon belonging to that group. This is in addition to the damage multiplier. Unless a DC is listed, the DC for any save that is called for is equal to the confirmation roll used to score the critical hit (after all modifiers have been applied).
Axe
Choose one creature adjacent to the initial target and within reach. If its AC is lower than your attack roll for the critical hit, you deal damage to that creature equal to a roll of your weapon’s damage die (including extra dice for its potency rune, if any). No bonuses or other additional dice apply to this damage.
Bow
If the target of the critical hit is adjacent to a surface, it gets stuck to that surface by the missile. The target is immobile and must spend an Interact action to attempt a DC 10 Athletics check to pull the missile free before it can move from its space. The creature doesn’t become stuck if it’s incorporeal, liquid (like a water elemental or some oozes), or could otherwise escape without effort. Bows always require two hands to operate, regardless of size.
Brawling
The target must succeed at a Fortitude save or be slowed 1 until the end of your next turn.
Club
You knock the target back from you 5 or 10 feet (you choose the distance).
Dart
The target takes 1d4 persistent bleed damage. The weapon's item bonus is added to this bleed damage.
Firearm
Your firearm's projectile pierces through your initial target to hit the next creature behind it. The creature must be in the same line of fire and range increment as the initial target. If its AC is lower than your attack roll for the critical hit, you deal damage to that creature equal to a roll of your weapon’s damage die (including extra dice for its potency rune, if any). No bonuses or other additional dice apply to this damage.
Flail
The target is knocked prone.
Hammer
The target is knocked prone.
Knife
The target takes 1d4 persistent bleed damage. You gain an item bonus to this bleed damage equal to the weapon’s item bonus to attack rolls.
Pick
The weapon viciously pierces the target. The target takes 1 additional damage per weapon damage die (including the extra dice from a critical hit).
Polearm
The target is moved 5 feet in a direction of your choice.
Shield
You knock the target back from you 5 feet.
Sling
The target must succeed at a Fortitude save or become slowed 1 for 1 round.
Spear
The weapon pierces the target, weakening its attacks. The target is enfeebled 1 for 1 round.
Sword
The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed for 1 round.
Special Weapon Groups
In addition to the standard weapon groups, there are special weapon groups that do not have a critical specialization effect, but exist to group certain weapons around a common theme for the purposes of Weapon Focus, discipline weapons, and other similar considerations. It is possible for a weapon to belong to both a standard weapon group and one of these special weapon groups.
Monk
This group encompasses all weapons with the Monk trait.. These are weapons that are commonly used by monks.
Thrown
This group encompasses all weapons with the Thrown trait.
Quality
Weapons apply their quality modifier as an enhancement bonus to attack rolls.
A poor weapon gains the broken condition if the wielder rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll with the weapon. If a poor weapon is already broken, the roll of a natural 1 destroys it instead.

Size
Weapons can be wielded with one hand if they are the same size category as you. Using two hands to wield a same-size range weapon gives a +2 bonus to attack rolls on range attacks with that weapon.
Weapons one size category larger than you require two hands to wield. Starting at with weapons two size categories larger than you, you take a cumulative -2 penalty to attack rolls for each larger size category. Your reach with a melee weapon two size categories larger than you increases increases by 5 ft., and an additional 5 ft. every two size catgories larger.
Light Weapons
Weapons one size category smaller than you or smaller are considered to be light weapons, and can be wielded with one hand. It is easier to use in one’s off hand than a one-handed weapon is, and can be used while grappling. However, using two hands to wield a light range weapon gives a +2 bonus to attack rolls on range attacks with that weapon. An unarmed strike is always considered a light weapon.
Weapon Size Scaling
Any weapon can be scaled smaller or larger. In general, when scaling a weapon down by one size step, its cost, weight, and range increment are halved. When scaling a weapon up one size step, its cost, weight, and range increment are doubled. Weapon damage is scaled by finding its current damage die on Table: Weapon Damage Size Scale, where the previous entry is one size lower, and the following entry is one size larger. When a weapon's damage dice becomes 2d4, it scales up by adding another 1d4 to the damage dice.
