The feat only benefits reloading 1 handed weapons. That looks like a pretty complete list of 1 handed ranged weapons that you reload that aren't firearms.

I won't just say "yes" without the qualifier statements, because these threads stick around for a long time and people do sometimes go searching for questions that were already asked later, and Ammunition Thaumaturgy will work for any other 1 handed ranged weapon that gets published later that someone would need to reload, as well. (Especially with a big gear book only a few weeks away).

But yes, the "unless you also find a feat for Firearm proficiency" confused me about exactly what your question was, because that reads like thinking that thaumaturges can't use firearms, rather than like your GM in your particular game does not allow Access to them.


If you're really *particularly* keen on this build, then... well, your GM probably wont' let you take Drow Shootist. It does some pretty nice things for the hand crossbow action economy, though.

Alternately, there are some ancestries out there that get unarmed ranged attacks. We dug into them a while back.

I asked a very specific question. Yes, I see that the feat works with firearms. I thought I made that clear by the way my question was framed in the first place. But I don't care.

Discounting firearms, the feat ONLY permits the use of Hand Crossbow, Sling, and Blowgun, as these are the ONLY non-firearm, one-handed, ranged weapons with the Reload trait. Is that correct?

>unless you find a feat for Firearm proficiency

No, you didn't make your "understanding" of the feat clear
Yes, if your GM has blocked firearms then you're very limited in your choice of 1-hand ranged weapons
