To many, this seems to be a malformed hand crossbow, but to the trained eye it's obvious that this is '''Iris' Flaskchucker Crossbow!''' created by the '''Totally Legendary Tinkerer''', '''Iris!''' Instead of a mark to place your bolt's nock when loading, a small pouch is placed for loading sling bullets and possibly other things. Without exotic proficiency, this functions as a Light Crossbow (including having to be wielded with two hands) with a 1d4 damage die, 1d3 when wielded by a small creature.
'''Iris' Flaskchucker Crossbow!''' allows the wielder to fire grenade-like weapons, such as flasks, potions, thunderstones, and other alchemical-or-otherwise objects one often has to throw. When firing these objects, the wielder adopts the effects and damages of that item instead of the crossbow's default damage, and splash effects are resolved as usual. The crossbow can also fire Grappling Hooks.
The Flaskchucker Crossbow is calibrated to such an extent that it's accuracy enables precise strikes against foes. Add 1/2 your Intelligence modifier (rounded down) to all damage rolls made with the crossbow. This damage is negated by Precision Immunity. Additionally, the crossbow is designed for use in the offhand, being treated as a light weapon for the purpose of two-weapon fighting.
When one wants to load '''Iris' Flaskchucker Crossbow!''' for combat without using grenade-like weapons, they use sling bullets, but can also use properly shaped stones. When using salvaged stones, the Intelligence modifier does not apply. Reloading the crossbow takes a Move Action, but can be loaded with sling bullets using an occupied hand, but not anything else.
Crafting the '''Legendary Tinkerer's Personal Invention, the Flaskchucker Crossbow!''' requires a DC 35 Craft (Technology) or DC 40 Craft (Weaponsmith) check as per normal crafting rules.
