06-20-07, 06:32 AM Hiya, all I'm sure that there has been a post on this weapon before. I just for the life of me I can't find it.

If anyone has rules that they would like to post for the Blunderbuss that would be great!

I'm starting a new world setting with flintlock guns and I can not find rules for a cone gun that would work with the Renaissances gun rules from the back of the DMG.

Thanks for the Help.

Blunderbuss: dmg 1d12 range 15' cone, range inc n/a ,
250gp for the gun.
standard cost for the 10 shot per time fired.
One full round reload time.

For those interested, it also has a 3.0/3.5 converted Giff race! :P

06-20-07, 05:07 PM I imagine a blunderbus working similarly to the Scattergun in the 3.0 DMG...

It creates a modified cone(maximum of 15ft wide at it's far end). Range increment of 10ft. Everything in the first range increment takes 3d6 damage, everything in the second and third range increments takes 2d6 damage, everything else takes 1d6 damage out to max range. Reloads as a full round action.

I like the weapon is shown here:

Only thing I would change is I would give it a Crit of x2 20.

Actually, reviewing my 3.0 DMG, the Scattergun wasn't a cone, but rather a line effect. It didn't use an attack roll, just affected things in a line. If you were to modifiy that to the cone, I'd probalby reduce the damage to d4's, if you want to use it as a line then you can probalby keep it as d6's.

If you still have your 3.0 DMG(or can borrow a copy) it's on page 163-64.
