Shotguns fire a large number of small lead balls with each attack, known as “shot.” Weapons with a lower gauge fire larger balls. All shotguns presented here are longarms. Shotguns grant a +1/0 bonus to attack rolls, however they deal 1 point less damage for every range increment away the target is.
