You can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your judge level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Lawgiver Mk I

You are specially trained in the use of your lawgiver. A lawgiver's magazine includes 10 bullets and 3 each of incendiary rounds, armor piercing rounds, grenades, and stun rounds. You expend a bullet when you make a normal attack with a lawgiver, and you expend a special round when you wish to make a special ranged attack. When you reload a lawgiver by inserting a new magazine, you reload 10 bullets and 3 of each special round. Any bullets or special rounds remaining in the previous magazine are wasted.

The special rounds have the following effects:

Incendiary rounds. You deal 2d12 points of fire damage instead of your normal piercing damage.

Armour Piercing rounds. You gain a +4 bonus to attack rolls against creatures wearing armor or with a natural armor AC, and you deal double damage against objects.

Grenade. You fire an explosive grenade instead of a bullet. Make a single ranged attack roll and apply the results against every creature in a 10 foot cube within range. On a hit, you deal 1d12 points of bludgeoning damage and 1d12 points of piercing damage.

Stun rounds. You deal bludgeoning damage instead of piercing damage, and a creature you hit must make a DC 15 Constitution save or be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Theft Prevention

Whenever a creature who has no levels in the judge class touches your lawgiver, they take 2d6 points of lightning damage. If the creature doesn't drop the lawgiver, it takes 2d6 additional points of lightning damage at the end of each of its turns. The lightning damage dealt by this feature increases by 2d6 when you reach 6th level (4d6), 11th level (6d6), and 16th level (8d6).

You can see normally in the smoke created by a smoke grenade.
