Well, first of all, I'll assume this is for your 'Hillbilly Sorcerer', as of your previous thread. I don't really understand why we needed a new thread... and this kind of belongs in Homebrew... but that's alright. I'm sure you have your reasons. :smallwink:

Anyway, is this a magical item? If so, what's the caster level to create it, times per day, charges, etc? Cost? Which specific spells does the 'shotgun' fire? Might be helpful if you want a critique. All in all, though, very inventive idea. I like it! :smallbiggrin:

Did you take this up with your DM first?:smallconfused:

Twenty fireballs per day? What's the caster level on the fireballs?

Also, at 500gp, that's way more powerful than, say, a masterwork greatsword or something close to that expensive. Honestly, for a magical item that deals that much?

The wand of Fireball, 5th level, which only has 50 charges for LIFE, costs 11,250gp. Your weapon, a 20/day, infinite use weapon, is 500gp. Don't you think that's a little underpriced? The spellcaster creating it needs an investment of a feat, numerous resources, and having actually taken fireball in order to make it, I would assume he'd charge slightly more for a Fireball-Shotgun.

Let me guess, you're the DM's significant other. What do the other players get, Point-ed sticks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piWCBOsJr-w)?

If it did it twice per day, it would be 10,900gp. (Eternal Wand of Fireball, caster level 5, for 5d6 damage)

Let us assume it's double barreled, so 21,800gp. Four times a day.

Or, let us assume it's a 20-charge custom wand chamber item that cycles through wands at will, with 10 3rd level eternal wands, each with various effects (but limited to 2 castings of any one effect per day); I'd price it somewhere in the 130,000gp area.

Err, or you could just run a really fun, easy going game. How about a heist game with your hillbilly wizard? You know, all up in the base, stealing the gold, watching out for other wizards?

That's cheaper that a wand of Fireball for a much more powerful item.

Being a DM myself i think that this is a good idea.:smallwink:

Joking aside, this sounds like a poisonous situation. First they play favourites, then you two play favourites to get back and. . .
Well, I don't see it ending pretty. This kind of passive aggressive neener neeener brinkmanship can ruin groups.

I will not refer to my Wand of Fireballs (http://www.angelfire.com/dragon3/captainjarlot/) as my Boomstick (http://www.motifake.com/image/demotivational-poster/0905/this-is-my-boomstick-demotivational-poster-1242598575.jpg).

You could just Refluff it, have your sorcerer cast spells as normal, but fluff it as being from his shotgun.

this.

say your sorcerer has a "shotgun" that serves as the focus for all of his offensive magic.

or some kind of gatling arrangment with multiple wands of various spells. but the ammo is gonna cost a bomb.

or go for the two Rods of Many Wands idea.

Here's how it's done:

#1: Get two muskets (forgot which book)
#2: Remove the barrels, and reattach them to a single stock
#3: Place Everwands of Maximize Spell to the back of the "Breaches"
#4: Use the "shotgun" to cast your spells, technically using the Wands within

What about using a Runestaff?

Runestaff's nice, but I thought "Hey! Them there wands be shorter!" so I stuck with the shorter one

Wouldn't scorching ray make for a much better shotgun? I mean, at many levels it also fires two shots.

I was wondering when somebody would notice that. But yeah, you could just psionic sandwich it.

How about this: Take a Necklace of Fireballs (http://dndsrd.net/magicItemsWI.html#necklace-of-fireballs). Detach all the beads. Make a shotgun shell out of the beads. Fire. I should note that the WEAKEST version of this would cost over one thousand gold PER SHOT.
