Overloaded Shot in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Overloaded Shot [Combat]
You have mastered the dangerous technique of overloading your Firearm's powder, producing an explosive shot that deals devastating damage but comes with great risk. As an action, you can declare an Overloaded Shot. This increases the Firearm's damage die by one die size, to a maximum of d20. However, the Firearm's Misfire rating also increases by 4 for this attack. The Explode Die rating also increases by an amount depending on the new damage die.
| New Damage Die | Explode Rating |
|---|---|
| d6 | 2 (5-6) |
| d8 | 3 (6-8) |
| d10 | 4 (7-10) |
| d12 | 5 (8-12) |
| d20 | 6 (15-20) |
