class gains instead of the ones found in the PHB.
When creating a character, instead of the weapon
and armor proficiencies, as well as the starting
equipment listed in the PHB, pick from the options
listed in this document for each class archetype
instead.

Poison. If the shot hits, it will deal additional 1d4
poison and 1d4 acid damage for each level of the

creatures must make a Constitution saving throw,
becoming poisoned on a failed save for up to 1
minute. Affected creatures can repeat the saving
throw at the beginning of their turn, ending the effect
on themselves on a success.
Healing. If the shot hits, instead of dealing damage,
the shot will heal all affected creatures for 1d4 for
each level of the expended spellslot + your
Spellcasting modifier.
Tagging. If the shot hits, instead of dealing its
normal damage, it will coat all affected creatures in a
pheromone that your Blood Hound can effortlessly
track. The pheromone stays on affected targets and

Blindfire
Prequisite: any firearm.
Use time: 1 attack.
You can attempt to fire from behind a cover without
exposing yourself, by revealing just your weapon and
the hand holding it. You target a cone shaped area, up
the firearm’s normal distance. Creatures in the
affected area roll a d6 in ascending order based on
distance from the attacker. On a roll of 1, they are the
target of the attack, but they count as having Three-
Quarters Cover. If no creature rolls 1 on the d6, the
attack misses them all. If a creature rolls 1, the rest of
the affected creatures don’t have to roll as they can’t
be the target anymore.
If the attack was made using automatic fire, all
affected creatures must roll the d6, and they are a
target of the attack on a roll of 1 or 2 on the d6.
Overwatch (Action)
Prequisite: Extra attack feature.
If you have only spent up to half your movement
during your turn, you can use your action to enter a
hightened state of preparedness. You claim a cone
shaped area as your firing sector, and until the start of
your next turn, or until you move, you gain a number
of special overwatch reactions equal to the number of
attacks you’d normally have available from your extra
attack feature. These overwatch reactions can only be
used for making firearm attacks, or using the full-auto
feature. Using your normal reaction for anything ends
the overwatch.
Take Cover
Use time: 1 reaction.
You can use your reaction to drop prone where you
stand.
Falling on a Grenade
Use time: 1 reaction.
If a grenade lands within 5 feet of you, you can dive on
top of it to try to shield your allies from the explosion.
Immediately make the Dexterity saving throw you
would if you were caught in the blast. On a success,
you dive on top of it in time and take the explosive’s
normal damage, but only you take damage from the
explosion. On a failed save you don’t make it in time,
and you take the explosion’s normal damage, and all
other creatures caught in the blast act as they
normally would.
