Close Assault

Your shotgun attacks deal double damage to inanimate objects within 5 ft. of you. You may make one attack against an inanimate object as a bonus action.

Being within 5 ft. of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls.

You may wield shotguns in one hand, but all attacks made this way are made with disadvantage.

Armour Plating

You receive armour. You gain Armour 3. At 6th level, this is improved to Armour 5. At 10th level, this is improved to Armour 10.

Shields you are wielding additionally give you an armour value equal to double that shield's AC bonus.

• Burst Impact. If you hit a creature with a shotgun attack this turn, it is pushed back 15 ft.
• Protection Focus. Until the beginning of your next turn, triple your Armour value.
• Survival Instinct. Until the beginning of your next turn, gain +3 to your AC, and double your Armour value.
• Damage Focus. This turn, your shotgun attacks deal twice as much damage.

You may use your chosen ability once. You recover your expended use when you roll initiative or finish a short or long rest.

• Buckshot. You gain a +3 to damage rolls with your weapon.
• Slug. You gain a +3 on attack and damage rolls with your weapon, and your attacks now deal an additional 1d6 damage. Your weapon loses the Scatter feature.

At the end of a short or long rest, you may choose a different shell to equip.
