Munitions
Beginning at 1st level, you've learned how to create cells which draw in magical energy from your body to charge themselves called Munitions. You have a number of munition charges your body can support, indicated on the class table above. You load up to 6 Munitions charges into your gunblade at a time. When you use Munition charges on attack rolls you expend a loaded charge. You may load more charges as an action. When using abilities triggered through using your Munitions that require the enemy to make a saving throw, the saving throw is calculated as follows. Gunbreaker Save DC = 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Strength modifier. When using features which require you to make a ranged attack, your attack modifier is calculated as follows. Gunbreaker Ranged Attack Modifier = your proficiency modifier + your Dexterity modifier. Half of your expended Munitions rounded up are recharged after completing a short rest and all of your Munitions after a long rest.
