Jun 16, 2013 11:53:23 I want to add guns in my campaign but not have them be overpowered. I thought of making them like magic items, the players could cary more than one and shoot them once an encounter. But I would prefer them be weapons.. I would want two military guns a rifle and a pistol. Also mabey some superior like dwarven blunderbuss, eladrin longrifle, mabey a gun that has low damage but lights target on fire.

Military one handed.
Pistol: prof +2, damage 1d8, range 5/10, load minor

Military two handed.
Rifle: prof +2, damage 1d10, range 10/20, load minor
(Would it be overpowerd to give these brutal 1?)

Superior two handed
Dwarvern blunderbuss: prof +2, damage 1d10, range 5/10, load minor, high crit, Brutal 2.

Eladrin longrifle: prof +3, damage 1d10, range 30/50, load minor.

These are my ideas but I want them to be balanced.

otherwise I don't see anything offputting OP about them, as a person I don't like the range of the pistol.

Jun 21, 2013 6:20:35 TBH, the best thing to do is to simply use an equivalent crossbow's stats for the gun. This keeps them balanced and also ensures that you won't have any weird/problematic interactions with other ranged rules elements.
