Weapon Properties:

Burst: Weapons with the burst fire property can expend additional ammunition to deal increased damage. The number indicates the number of ammo rounds required. Using burst fire imposes disadvantage on the attack roll but adds one damage die if the attack succeeds. Combatants must declare they are using burst fire before they roll their attack. Burst fire cannot be used at long range.
Finesse: When you use this weapon to make a melee attack, you can choose to use your Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls instead of Strength.
Light: Light weapons are small enough to effectively wield one in each hand. For details, see “Bonus Action: Off-Hand Attack” in Combat.
Loud: Loud weapons can be heard up to 2 miles away and are easily detected through building walls.
Semi-Auto: A semi-auto mechanism cocks the gun and loads a new round from the magazine each time a round is fired. Each pull of the trigger fires one bullet.
Shot: Shotguns typically fire buckshot rounds that make it easier to hit targets at close range. This weapon has advantage on attack rolls at ranges up to 30 feet.
Thrown: Melee weapons that have the thrown property can be used either for a melee attack or thrown at an opponent as a ranged attack. If thrown, they use the same ability modifier for attack and damage as for a melee attack. For example, a hatchet uses your Strength modifier whether melee or thrown. If you throw a dagger, the attack can use either your Strength or your Dexterity modifier, since the dagger has the finesse property. Weapons with the thrown property have their range in feet noted in parentheses (normal/long range). You must be holding a weapon to attack with it. Once thrown, it must be recovered before it can be thrown again.
Two-Handed: These weapons require two hands to attack with, but they can be carried in one hand.

BACKGROUND
Ernest Prince grew up on the streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sure, he had a home, but with his parents working multiple jobs between them and barely scraping by, Ernie and his older brother Charles were constantly canvasing the city looking for ways to quickly earn cash without much concern for legality. As the brothers’ reputation spread, so did the level of danger, and karma caught up to them one day when Charles took a bullet to the head from a rival gangster.

Ernie took stock of his life up to that point and decided he needed to change. Wanting to avoid the same fate as his brother, he left home, hoping to get a fresh start. He landed in [Campaign City], Nevada, starting a job as an Operations Sales Technician (which means “salesperson, but without the recognition or the commission) for an office furniture supply store. He’s steadily moving up in the company, something that he kind of hates. He wants to stay out of trouble, but the freedom and excitement of the life he led filled with scams and heists still somehow manages to pull him back in.

Description: Ernie is short and scrawny, with brown hair and an acerbic smile (unless he’s making a sale). He acts and dresses the part of the salesman during the day, but his dress and demeanor change in the off hours when he bums around the seedier parts of town.
