Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher

Exotic One-Handed Projectile

Cost:	6000 gp
Damage (Small):	4d6
Damage (Medium)1:	6d6
Critical:	20/x2
Range Increment:	20
Weight2:	8 lbs
Type3:	Piercing; see text
HP4:	6
Hardness:	8

1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.

Explosive: The projectiles explode on impact, dealing 8d6 points of slashing and sonic damage in a 10' radius around the target, with a Reflex save (DC 17) for half damage.

Inaccurate: For every point by which you miss AC 15 (after range increment and other penalties), the rocket misses by 5 feet. If the rocket misses a target who isn't surrounded by surfaces, it may keep going for a long time, until it explodes on a surface somewhere or reaches maximum range.

Technically One Handed -6: If not held in two hands, the firer suffers a -6 penalty to hit.

Long Range: Beyond the first three increments, the length of each increment is increased to 1000'.

High Tech: The price to enchant the Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher is doubled.

Smoke Trail: The entire path of the projectile is clearly visible, so it is trivial to determine which square you are in when you fire it, independent of your hide check.

Rockets: Each rocket costs 1000 gp and weighs 2 pounds. Reloading the Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

The following equipment only matters in the context of the Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher, so it is listed here.

Addon	Price (gp)	Weight	Effect
Targeting System	6000	-	+1 to hit, only miss by 5' for every point by which you miss AC 10.
Anti-Tank Rockets	2000/rocket	2 lbs/rocket	Ignore hardness and damage reduction, but lose Explosive property.
Napalm Rockets	1000/rocket	2 lbs/rocket	Explosive property deals 6d6 points of fire damage in a 30' radius instead.
Mortar Shells	500/rocket	2 lbs/rocket	Don't hit any particular target, just roll to determine miss distance from Inaccurate property. Primary damage is dealt to the terrain in the target space.
