What is hand mortar 5e?

In Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, a hand mortar is a type of weapon used for ranged attacks. It is essentially a handheld, single-shot cannon that fires explosive shells at enemies.

The hand mortar is classified as a heavy weapon and requires the user to have proficiency with firearms in order to wield it effectively. It has a range of 60/240 feet and deals 3d6 piercing damage to enemies within a 10-foot radius of the impact point.

Due to its explosive nature, using a hand mortar in combat can be risky. If the user rolls a critical fail when attacking with it, there is a chance that the hand mortar will explode in their hands, dealing 8d6 fire damage to themselves and anyone within a 10-foot radius.

Overall, the hand mortar is a powerful but dangerous weapon that can be a valuable addition to any adventurer's arsenal if used sensibly.
