Named after its inventor, 'dirty' Henrico Tagliatelli of Sartosa, this fearsome weapon is best described as a large pistol or a small cannon. Firing shot as large as an arquebus, it causes fearsome damage to a target, but can be almost as dangerous to its wielder owing to its terrific recoil, which is focused on the wrist of the hand holding the gun. Every time it is fired, the firer must make a S test; on a failed test, consult the following table:
| S+D6 | Result |
|---|---|
| 2-3 | Broken wrist - arm is incapacitated until medical attention is received. |
| 4-5 | Strained wrist - arm is incapacitated for D4 hours; medical attention halves this time. |
| 6-7 | Strained wrist - arm is incapacitated for 6D10 minutes; medical attention halves this time. |
| 8-9 | Strained wrist - arm is incapacitated for D10 minutes; medical attention halves this time. |
| 10+ | Jarred wrist - gun leaps from user's hand; user may do nothing for the next round. |
The Henricus Salus requires two shots of powder per shot, but it doesn't need two bullets!
