The Magnumnomicon

The Magnumnomicon is a unique .44 pistol commissioned by General John Whately

Background
The Magnumonomicon was commissioned by General John Whateley and incorporates many of the family's teachings, such as to "never raise up that which you are not prepared to put down." The gunsmiths involved in the creation of magnum died under mysterious circumstances.

The magnum frame is made of a mix of heavy iron, with runes engraved in solid gold present on the barrel. The grip is crafted from leather of unknown origin, with "tentacle-like symbols" engraved into it. Ammunition fired from the gun is imbued with energies with unknown scientific origin.

Gameplay
The Magnumnomicon has the Special damage type, allowing it to inflict Physical, Energy, Radiation and Poison damage. When damage is rolled normally, the Magnumnomicon will reduced against the target's lowest damage resistance depending on the hit location.

When a non-Robot character or creature is killed with the weapon, the target will die normally before becoming mutated. If 3 AP is spent, targets killed with the Magnumnomicon resurrect on the next turn with full Poison and Radiation immunity and with half of their maximum HP. Risen targets act after the player character and obey commands. When the current scene ends, the risen target melts into a radioactive puddle that emits green fumes.

Location
The Magnumnomicon can be found in General Whately's Office inside a locked desk with a difficulty of 4.

Behind the scenes

 * The Magnumnomicon was created by Matt Evans. Before settling on Magnumnomicon, one of the original working names for the gun was the "Caliber Out of Space," which was changed to take it "a little bit further" in the same direction.
