Howler Pistol

Designed by a gunsmith as a personal challenge, a howler pistol strikes a miniature version of the sonic horn siege weapon's resonating orb with its hammer to generate beams of sonic energy. A howler pistol is a +1 striking dragon mouth pistol that deals sonic damage instead of piercing damage and doesn't have the concussive trait.

Activate—Resonant Shatter ◆◆ (manipulate)

Frequency once per day

Requirements The howler pistol is loaded

Effect You over-torque the howler pistol 's hammer to strike the resonating orb harder than normal. The gun fires a concentrated burst of sonic energy that shatters a nearby stone or rock surface, creating a 10-foot area at a point of impact within the gun's first range increment. Creatures in the area take 5d6 piercing damage (DC 27 reflex save).

Craft Requirements The initial raw materials must include the powdered horn from a soniphak, processed into a resonating orb.
