Mastery Archetype: Exotic Melee Mods

Charges: 2x User's Proficiency Bonus Maneuvers

Rockbreaker - Whenever you make a successful attack, you can expend one charge to make your next successful attack against the same target deal an additional 1d8 Piercing damage and add a Jackhammer stack for this turn.

Special Maneuvers

Guard Block - Spend your Reaction to place the industrial tool between you and an opponent's melee attack. Raise your evasion by your Proficiency Bonus. You may perform this maneuver before damage is rolled and applied to attempt to deflect the attack. If your opponent misses as a consequence of you spending your Reaction, you take no damage. If they succeed in striking you, you only take half damage. You may use this maneuver a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus per Long rest.

Overdrive - You throw the Rockhammer into high gear, revving its pneumatic engine, making an awful growling noise. Expend two charges as a Bonus Action to give the Rockhammer two Jackhammer stacks for your next successful attack against the same target, dealing an additional 2d8 Piercing damage on top of the weapon's normal effects. Once you have made a successful attack roll, Overdrive ends. This makes the Rockhammer much harder to control, so your attack rolls that are made while Overdrive is active are without your Proficiency Bonus. You may also deactivate Overdrive as a Free Action.

Properties

Armor Piercing III

Anti-Armor - Deals unmitigated damage to vehicles, robotics, and constructs.

Jackhammer - This weapon's maneuvers can add damage stacks if performed against the same target consecutively, adding up to a maximum of four Jackhammer stacks. Each stack deals an additional 1d8 Piercing damage on a successful attack in addition to the weapon's normal damage. All Jackhammer stacks go away at the end of your turn. Using the Rockbreaker maneuver adds one stack, adding 1d8 Piercing damage. Using the Overdrive maneuver adds two stacks, dealing 2d8 Piercing damage.

Passive Recharging - On finishing a Long rest, this weapon regains all of its charges. On finishing a Short rest, this weapon regains 2 charges.

Special Properties

Blunt Weapon

Demolition Tool - Can be used to break doors and walls by spending a charge.

Mining Equipment - Gives advantage on any checks to obtain materials from rocks by spending a charge.

Handling: 1-Handed

Effectively a stubby, portable jackhammer conveniently held in one hand with extra utility for demolitions, this industrial tool allows the wielder to gather twice the mineral or metal materials. The RH-39 Rockhammer is a pneumatically operated repeating piledriver type device that runs on an electric engine. The weapon does additional damage with repeat attacks on the same target and is incredibly effective against inorganic or hardshelled opponents.
