Item: 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.

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 @Template[burst|distance:10] at a point of impact within the gun's first range increment. Creatures in the area take 5d6 piercing damage (DC 27 Basic Reflex save).
