Base Weapon Flintlock Pistol
This +2 greater striking flintlock pistol bears strange, jagged markings of erratic design and has an oddly squishy grip. It can be activated to produce a variety of unusual effects.

Activate [two-actions] command, Interact; Effect Choose a creature within 60 feet and roll a percentile die on the table below to determine the pistol's effect. If an entry lists a spell, the pistol Casts that Spell at the indicated level (or at its lowest level, if no level is listed). You make any decisions for a spell cast by the pistol unless otherwise indicated, except that it must only target the creature you chose, or the creature you chose must be the center of the spell's area, if it has an area but no targets. The only exception to the limitation on targeting is if the effect specifically states it targets you. If the spell's range is less than 60 feet, increase the range to 60 feet.

Any spell DC required is DC 29, and any spell attack roll required is +21. If the pistol casts a spell on you, you don't get a saving throw or any other defense against it. Once activated, the pistol can't be activated again for 1d4 hours.

Pistol of Wonder

d%Wondrous Effect
1–2The pistol casts phantom steed (4th level) to produce a pale horse adjacent to you; only you can ride it.
3The target becomes a shiny metal color (bronze, copper, or iron) and any sound or speech becomes tinny and robotic in nature; this effect lasts 1 month.
4–5The pistol casts dimensional anchor.
6Modify memory (6th level) causes the target to forget you ever existed; you can't Sustain the Spell.
7–13A short rod protrudes from the pistol and unfurls a small flag that reads “Bang!”. The pistol can't be fired until the flag is removed, which requires a single Interact action.
14–16You are pushed 30 feet directly away from the target; if you hit an object or creature, you stop, but take falling damage equal to the distance you moved (if you hit a creature, it takes the same amount of falling damage).

20You don't need to eat or drink for 1 week.
21–25The pistol casts cloudkill.
26–30The pistol casts heroism on you.
31The pistol casts tree shape on you, except you appear as a Medium wooden grave marker bearing your name and the current date; you can't Dismiss the spell for 1 round.
32The pistol casts mask of terror, except the target appears as a more fearsome and violent version of itself to all observers.
33–35The target knows you have a bullet with its name on it; the first time you Strike the target with the pistol before the end of your next turn, roll the attack roll twice and take the highest result (this is a fortune effect).

38–47The pistol casts hydraulic push (4th level) as water streams from the pistol.

51The pistol casts disintegrate.
52Dozens of tattered, nonmagical playing cards burst from the pistol's barrel.
53–54Shadows crowd around the target, making all creatures concealed to the target while not in bright light; this effect lasts for 1 hour.
55–57Normal vegetation within 30 feet of the target immediately dies and turns to ash.
58The pistol casts dinosaur form on you to transform you into a triceratops; the pistol protrudes from the base of your front horn, and you can fire (but not reload) the pistol while in this form.

87–91The pistol casts solid fog, but with swirling dust and sand instead of fog.

100Reroll two results and apply both in the order rolled; further results of 100 on these rerolls have no effect.
