DOOMCLICK
Invented Heavy Repeating Crossbow
Critical: 19–20/×2
Range Increment: 120 ft.
Type: Piercing
Size: Medium
Cost: ???
Damage: 1d10
Weight: 12lbs.
Hardness: 5
HP: 10

The Doomclick is a special heavy repeating crossbow, designed with 4 slots on the body to hold a dose liquids that may be selectively applied to a round as a minor action without chance of self-applying. The liquid may instead be sprayed at melee range on one target, or a 5 foot surface. The Doomclick fires magazines of 5 bolts, and can be used (at penalty) to launch similar objects. As long as it holds bolts, you can reload it by pulling the reloading lever (a free action). Loading a new case of 5 bolts is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.



STABILIZING ARM
Invented Weapon Extension

Size: Medium
Cost: ???
Weight: 10lbs.
Hardness: 5
HP: 10

The Stabilizing Arm is both an armour and weapon extension piece, specially designed for enhancing one’s crossbow use. An item held in the Stabilizing Arm that normally requires two hands to wield only requires one (weapons at a -4 attack penalty), and any previous penalties for one-handed use are negated. A crossbow used in the Stabilizing arm grants the user the effects of the Shot on the Run feat.

The user must determine, as part of a move action, what direction the weapon will face that round. The arm gives a -5 to armour check penalty.To let go of an item in the arm you must spend a full-round action removing the clamp from it. The stabilizing arm counts as a breastplate for donning, and cannot be used with heavy armour.



GRADUATED SIGHTS
Invented Crossbow Weapon Extension

Size: Medium
Cost: ???
Weight: 1lb.
Hardness: 10
HP: 30

The Graduated Sights is a weapon extension piece designed specifically for a crossbow. It is a small semicircle attached horizontally near the front of the crossbow, with notches and numbers etched in specific increments. This reduces the weapons range increment penalty to hit by half(if the range is known), but does not decrease the damage penalty or increase the weapon’s maximum range.



EXPANDING SHIELD
Invented Shield

Size: Medium
Cost: ???
Weight: 15 lbs.
Hardness: 10
HP: 20

The Expanding Shield is a normal Heavy Steel Shield, except it can be expanded and deployed into cover (a move action), with dimensions of 10’x5’. It stands up on its own due to little feet also deployed with it. When in this form, it counts as a Tower Shield with a max dex of 0, armour check penalty of -15, and -4 to attack rolls. Changing it back into normal shield mode takes a full-round action.



Possibly more to come. DM is allowing for artificers to invent new items, with approval, but wants your opinion on pricing.
