Starmetal Blaster
Weapon (crossbow, light), rare
___
This crossbow doesn’t use a standard bowstring or groove for loading bolts. Instead, it uses a pair of electrically charged metal arms to suspend sling bullets above a third strip of charged metal along the weapon’s body. When the crossbow’s trigger is pulled, a sling bullet is electrically propelled from the weapon at dizzying speeds.
This crossbow lacks the normal loading property, but takes an action to load. When you do, you can load it with up to 6 sling bullets. Unless you have a feature that normally allows you to ignore a crossbow’s loading property, you can only make a single attack with this weapon as part of the Attack action.
Ranged attacks with this magic weapon deal bludgeoning damage instead of their normal damage type, and any target hit by it takes an extra 1d6 lightning damage. You can choose to fire any number of loaded bullets from the crossbow as part of making a ranged attack against a target with it, making a single roll for the attack regardless of the number of bullets fired. On a hit, the target takes the weapon’s damage plus an extra 1d4 bludgeoning damage for each bullet that was fired from the crossbow after the first.
