At first I though to make them unmagical regular items, until I realized that if they could be used with powers they could easily be overpowered. So turning them essentially into wonderous items with encounter power attacks I feel that they keep the flavor of shooting stuff, But with the feel of very long reload (out of combat). That dont take away from class powers. I can see a character buying a few of these things and opening combat with a volley of bullets before switching to melee. Notes: Does this take away from alchemical items? I dont think so, alchemical items are cheaper as a pistols ammunition is cheaper but it has a 360 gp inital cost. ALso unlike alchemical items you can only fire a pistol once per encounter. Though you can buy multiple pistols gaining access to multiple attacks but this is expensive, though in many ways this awesome enough to do and is very much intended by my design. Please I want to know what others think about this thank you.
