Shell 01-05-05, 06:55 AM	Hello there everyone. I am looking for some rules to cover the Blunderbuss, Musketoon, and various cannons (although I might just used the catapult rules for them) from around the 1600's for a pirate game =) Does anyone know if these rules exist in a supplement or dragon magazine or has anyone created rules for them? I'd love some help in the matter. cheers Shell
ff6shadow 01-05-05, 09:03 AM	I beleive they have guidline for a handfull of guns in the DMG. Their are also guns listed in Dragon but I'm not sure which issue.

You probably should follow the example FR has set, though, to explain why there aren't hundreds of guns floating around: wizards are either selfishly jealous or worried by the danger these guns pose and will hunt down those who buy/sell/use smoke powder or pistols. Or even make it a requirement that magic is necessary in the creation of smoke powder. Also remember that reloading one takes a while, as they are one-shot guns.

Carrying powder around can be dangerous. Warcraft has best rules on guns I think. As well as Aracane Addiction:besides the benfits it addds the penalties keep wizards from casting strongest spells possible. Who wants curroption.
kam_Islash 01-05-05, 04:46 PM	you could have cannons that fire magic missile ///
Kevlimin Soulaxe 01-05-05, 05:07 PM	You guys need to read Redgar's Repository. There is an entire article about guns. As for the topic, try D20 Modern. It will work much better.
Shell 01-05-05, 07:42 PM	Hello =) Umm thanks for the help, I know they are in the DMG, its just those guns that are not. I want to allow guns in dnd because in the 1600's during the begging of the golden era for pirates there were guns. I want to have the feel of them in the game. Why would they be magic? magic can do much worse buy the time a fighter has a gun, a wizard has a fireball that does 5D6. you cant add your str bonus to a bullet ;) I'll have a look in Warcraft... Thats a great idea, i know someone who has it. Oh yeah relaoding takes a while... you should see the cannons! it takes like 6 rounds to reload one =) with a fully knowledgeable crew. Where would I find Redgar's reoisutory? -Shell
