Superior Weapons
Two-Handed Superior Ranged Weapons
Junk Cannon Prof: NA*, Dam: 1d4*, Rng: 20/40, Cost: 60gp, Wt: 10lbs + 20lb Air Tank (20 shots), Group: Artillery, Properties: Load Standard, Explodes 1** * Junk cannon generally fire improvised weapons, but any two pound or less thrown weapon will be boosted to the cannon’s range. ** Explodes on an attack roll of 1 and the ranged attack automatically hits the shooter rather than the target.
Flame Gun, Prof: NA, Dam: 1d8 +INT Modifier, Rng: Close Blast 3, Cost: 380gp, Fill w/Oil: 150gp; Wt: 5lb+ 45lb Four Gallon Whale Oil Tank (5 shots), Group: Flame Gun, Properties: Blast Weapon: Intelligence vs. Reflex attack roll, Jams 2
Weapon Groups: Artillery: Black powder artillery is muzzle loaded and ignited by a burning fuse. A basic attack with an Artillery Weapon always uses Intelligence for attack and damage modifier. Loading a cannon requires a powder charge of equal weight to the cannon ball fired.
Flame Gun: A flame gun is a long hollow pipe of metal with a small pilot light at one end and a pressurized hose at the other end. Whale Oil is spewed through the hose and ignited. All in the blast zone of the Flame Gun may suffer severe burns. The Flame Gun is flickle and on a natural attack roll of one or two either the hose jams or the pilot light goes out requiring 1d4 standard actions to restore function. Flame Guns utilize INT modifier rather than STR or DEX on attack and damage rolls.
Firearms: In this steam punk campaign the characters wield flintlock firearms. A basic attack with a firearm always uses Dexterity for an attack and damage modifier. Firearms also count as Crossbows for the prerequisites, requirements, and effects of feats and all powers that have an area of effect other than “Blast”. A flintlock misfires or jams on an attack roll of "1". It takes 1d4 standard actions to clear a jam. Heavy rain or dunking in water increases misfire chance to 1, 2, and 3.
Weapon Properties: These new weapon properties apply to the black powder weapons listed above. Armor Piercing: Any weapon with this property can reduce an armor bonus by 1 or reduce the AC of an armored monster by 1. Inaccurate: Inaccurate weapons take a -2 penalty to all attack rolls. Jams: The weapon jams on the indicated attack roll die number and takes 1d4 standard actions to clear. Load: Flintlock pistols take a move action to reload and muskets require a standard action to reload. Cannons usually require a crew to reload them. Each crew member can expend a standard action in order to be able to fire the weapon once per round. Requires Cooling: If you fire two times within two consecutive rounds with this weapon, you must roll a saving throw after the second shot. If you fail, the weapon cannot fire again for the duration of the encounter since the cannon barrel has warped due to over heating. When a volley of weapons with this property is fired, make one saving throw for all.
Weapon Modifications: Double Barrel: Any flintlock firearm can be modified to possess an extra barrel and trigger. Each barrel must be reloaded separately. This modification doubles the cost of the firearm and increases the weight of the weapon by 50%.
Cannonball Variations: Artillery is classified by the size and type of ammunition. All firearms and cannons used it this campaign are smoothbore. Smoothbore cannons fire spherical ammunition which comes in five different types.
Solid Shot: This is a simply a heavy sphere of metal and is the default ammunition of smoothbore cannons. Cost: 5gp per 4 pounds
Shells: This is a hollowed out iron sphere filled with a bursting charge of black powder. Instead of striking a single target, the shell detonates in a burst. The shooter makes a single attack roll against all targets within the burst. The radius of the burst varies according to the size of the cannonball but the damage it inflicts is halved. 4lbs: burst 1, 8lbs: burst 2, 16lbs: burst 3, 32lbs: burst 4. Cost: 15gp per 4 pounds
Case Shot: This is a wooden shell filled with loose lead or iron balls in a layer of sulfur and coal tar. Case shot is intended to explode in the air and thus uses time fuses. The metal balls become shrapnel greatly increasing the kill radius. Properly timing the fuse requires an INT attribute check with a DC equal to one tenth the range the shell travels before it is supposed to explode. Poorly timed fuses explode to early or not at all generating an automatic miss. A case shot has the same radius as a shell but inflicts normal cannon damage to all its victims. Cost: 50gp per 4lbs.
Chain Shot: This is two halves of the same sphere chained together. It is generally used to foul rigging and ship masts. The chain shot affects the target and one adjacent target at the same time. Only one attack roll is made for both targets. Cost: 10gp per 4 pounds
Grape Shot: This is a mass of heavy metal balls in a cloth bag. Unlike the ammunition above this is a close blast weapon normally used against enemy infantry. Only one attack roll is made and applied to all targets. 4lbs: blast 3, 8lbs: blast 4, 16lbs: blast 5, 32lbs blast 6. Cost: 50gp per 4 pounds.
Flintlock Accessories: Bayonet: As a minor action, the musket holder can attach or remove a long, thin blade to the end of his musket. A bayonet turns a musket into the equivalent of a “spear” simple melee weapon. While a bayonet is attached the musket has a -1 ranged attack roll penalty. W: 2lb. Cost: 5gp. Bullet Bandoleer: Bullets are specific for each flintlock since every gun is hand made and regionally specific. W: 1lb, Cost: 20 bullets for 1gp. Powder Horn: Enough loose powder for 12 shots with any flintlock firearm or one shot with any hand cannon. The need to carefully pour the proper amount of loose powder into a firearm’s muzzle doubles the reload time. W: 5lbs filled, Cost: 24gp (2gp per shot) Cartridge Box: Wooden box with 20 pre-measured paper cartridges of black powder for a specific firearm. They are quicker to use than loose powder. W: 6lbs, Cost: 60gp (3gp per shot) Swine Feather: This forked metal rod can be used to support a long barreled musket. It requires relatively soft ground to set up and takes a standard action to properly plant which provokes an opportunity attack. Thereafter, it grants a +1 Equipment Bonus to range attacks while firing from a stationary position and using a two handed firearm. Weight: 2lbs, Cost: 2gp Glass Optical Scope: Grants a +1 ranged attack bonus for the firearm if the shooter expends a move action before firing. Weight: 1lb., Cost: 100gp

Some acquire this paragon class to recover from devastating injury or illness through mechanical augmentation. Others are slave laborers and gladiators forced into this class by cruel masters. All Rust Hulks are forever branded as bizarre and monstrous. This class relies on a STR/CON build common to fighters and barbarians.

Hey, that's pretty neat, but you cannot really use steampunk only as a paragon's path, it kills the purpose of the paragon's tier. And steampunk would not be complete without some kind of golems (firearms are fine, but that's only a crossbow that go bang).
Nice work though, detailed enough to be used and adapted.
Well done! I'm running entirely low-level games currently, so I appreciate the weaponry more than the paragon paths, but they seem very well crafted.
I think the Inaccurate weapon attribute seems unnecessarily complex. You can get the same effect from tinkering with the proficiency bonus in both the weapon's stats and the paragon path powers with one less new concept.
Similarly, I would simplify Jamming by replacing the 1d4 round recovery time with a static time, perhaps "a jammed weapon cannot be fired until the end of the player's next turn". Alternatively, make it more like a status effect, such as "a jammed weapon cannot be fired (save ends)".
I'm definitely excited to run a steampunk adventure in 4th ed. A few things I'd still like to see/create are some steam-powered vehicles (land and even airships) and some ideas/replacements on how to apply skills to mechanical devices.
Also it would very useful to apply all this to a PDF (or several) for ease-of-use.
Another suggestion would be to simplify Armor Piercing as well using simple attack bonuses, possibly as follows: "Any weapon with this property applies a +1 bonus to attack rolls against a target wearing heavy armor."
As it stands, Armor Piercing appears to just be a +1 to attack rolls against everything, unless I'm reading it incorrectly.
I might add some heroic level powers (no more than one per class level) that apply specifically to steampunk weapons/vehicles latter on, but I don't see any need to create an entire set of heroic classes. I am adding the "Artificer" and like many of the homebrew classes posted here including the "Shadow Mage" by Cadfan and "Lancer, Dreadnaught, and Gambler" by FF6shadow.
Note that firearms can be applied to any ranged weapon attack powers, and pistols apply to the rogues "crossbow" attack powers. If I make any epic classes it will be only one or two.
SIR BRILLIG,
I wrote up these weapon stats before I used them in play. Jamming was to demonstrate the unreliablity of firearms and "armor piercing" was to compensate for the added aggravation. Initially we tried "armor piercing" as a property that allowed the user to use firearms as DEX vs Fortitude/Reflex (which ever is higher) showing that firearms easily blow through archaic armors, but this proved too powerful.
After a few game sessions we dropped jamming and armor piercing entirely, and just use them like long range/slower loading crossbows.
I will think about steampunk modfiers/contests for skills, equipment, and vehicles after I'm finished with the last three paragons I'm working on. I haven't yet attempted vehicles for 4E. Generally I use massive vehicles such as zepplins, submersibles, locomotives, and steamliners as large moving 'dungeons' rather than having a PC "play the ship".
I'm working on a PDF (a sort of STEAM-POWER ebook). I tend to post one after I finish my first draft which is almost done. What's written in the PDF will be my formalized version of what is posted above.
PS: I like your user name, shows your a gentleman of superior refinement. You should check out my website: http://grimgrin4488.tripod.com
A lot to read through here, but it seems viable enough. I do wonder if you're going to to totally ignore the clever 'cannon'/'canon' pun for the Brimstone Preacher

I never ignore any pun and shamelessly use them at every opportunity.
Iron Monger You may control men but I control metal.
Prerequisites: You must possess an arcane power that inflicts electrical damage, and you must have the "inspiring word" warlord ability. This paragon class is used by warlord & wizard multiclass characters with a high STR and INT score.
As an iron monger, you have developed your dual abilities of inspiring others and casting spells into the ability to control iron and steel. Your study of warfare makes you a superb commander and your arcane power is channelled into the creation of electricity and magnetism. You use your abilities to command iron constructs on the battlefield and defend yourself with magnetized armor.
Iron Monger Path Features
Arcane Armor (11th Level): Rather than wear ordinary steel armor, you can wear loose iron plates. Steel armor is bound to you by magnetism rather than straps and clamps. While wearing any steel armor you are proficient with you automatically gain the "armor specialization" feat with it.
Alternatively, you can cover your bare skin with any loose iron or steel you find lying about to give yourself "scrap armor" as a STANDARD action and drop it as a FREE action. SCRAP ARMOR: +3 armor bonus, -1 Skill Check, -1 Speed, 40lbs, You are automatically proficient with scrap armor. Commonly scrap armor is formed from horseshoes, chains, eating utensiles, coins, buttons, cans, and other steel objects. Scrap armor can not be made from metal weapons which are too heavy and dangerous to wear against your skin. The wearer can not use any other type of armor while wearing scrap armor.
Personal Magnetism (11th Level): You ordinarily load your blunderbuss with iron pellets and can reshape the buckshot cloud to avoid your allies. Additionally, when you spend an action point your personal magnetic field surges and provides you with a +4 AC and +4 Reflex Save against all iron or steel-tipped weapons until the start of your next turn.
Blunderbuss Proficiency (11th Level): You are proficient with a blunderbuss
Iron Giant (16th Level): You make a personal bond with a metal construct and can treat it as an ally for your warlord powers. This construct will follow your orders as you intend and will act to defend you without orders. When you use your "inspiring word" ability you can spend one of your own healing surges to heal the construct. Additionally you can sacrifice your normal standard action attack so that the construct can add one half your class level to its attack roll. You must be with 30ft (6 squares) of your construct and have a clear Line of Sight (LOS) to use either ability.
Iron Monger Spells
Arcane Dynamo Iron Monger Attack 11 You crackle with electrical energy as you slam your weapon or staff into the ground which energizes the constructs around you.
_______________________ Encounter ✦ Arcane, Lightning, Implement or Weapon, Construct Standard Action Close burst 1 Target: All foes adjacent to the Iron Monger Attack: Strength vs. Fortitude or Intelligence vs. Fortitude

Command Nexus Iron Monger Utility 12 You can aid all nearby friendly constructs with the benefit of your personal combat training.
_______________________ Encounter ✦ Arcane, Psychic, Construct Standard Action Close burst 6 Requirements: Construct
_______________________ Effect: You provide all nearby constructs with the benefit of one of your combat feats of your choice for their next turn.
Mechanical Marshal Iron Monger Attack 20 You cry out a battle command as you lunge to attack and all the constructs in your regiment deliver a massive unified assault with you.
_______________________ Daily ✦ Arcane, Weapon, Construct Immediate Reaction Close burst 10 Trigger: You attempt a basic melee attack Target: You make a basic melee attack against one creature Attack: Strength vs. AC
_______________________ Hit: 1[W] + STR modifier damage Effect: All allied constructs within you area of effect make an immediate basic attack action on the foe nearest to them with either a melee weapon or a ranged weapon.
NEW SUPERIOR WEAPON Blunderbuss PROF: +0 DAM: 1d6 RNG: Close Burst 3 PRICE: 50gp Wt: 4lbs/1.8kg GROUP: Firearm PROPERTIES: Blast Weapon: DEX vs. Reflex, Load Standard, Jams 1
NEW CLASS FEATURE
Automaton Cohort The Automaton Cohort class feature is available to any arcane spell caster who wishes to gain an construct slave. To select this class feature, you must give up the "Arcane Implement Mastery" class feature. If you have multiclassed as a wizard you must take the "Construct Companion" paragon multiclass feat instead. Your automaton cohort can not have a level higher than your own. Increasing the ability scores of your automaton requires rebuilding the construct. You treat your cohort as a companion and ally. Your automaton cohort has two "healing surges" representing a quick fix by its creator or switching to back-up systems. The construct recovers hit points equal to one quarter of its maximum hit points as normal. You may build more than one construct, but can only bond with one automaton cohort at a time. Automaton Cohorts come in the following catogories. You choose one general type but can thouroghly customize its appearance. Unlike beasts, automatons can use weapons, armor, and simple tools (including magic items), but automatons don't heal normally and must be patched up by their creators.
Commanding A Cohort Giving your cohort orders constitutes part of your own action. Ordering your automaton to perform a standard action (such as attacking) is a "move action" for you. Ordering your automaton to move is a "minor action" for you.
Technological Automaton This mechanical marvel is tougher and stronger than other automatons, but requires periodic refueling. A medium steam powered automaton requires water (25 gallons) and coal (5lbs per hour) or wood (10lbs per hour). Double fuel requirements with each size increase. A clockwork automaton will function for 30 minutes then must be rewound by an assistant (1 minute). A voltaic construct functions for 3 hours but must recharge its power cells for the rest of the day. Technological Automatons can wear armor, use hand held weapons, and use simple machines. They possess all the proficiencies of a "Paladin"
TECHNOLOGICAL STATISTICS Ability Scores: STR 16, CON 14, DEX 12, INT 6, WIS 12, CHA 6 Size: Starts at Medium but can be increased by rebuilding Speed: 5 Defenses: AC 10 + level + any armor, Fortitude 12 + level, Reflex 10 + level, Will 12 + level Hit Points: 16 + 10 per level Attack Bonus: Level +2 Damage: 1d12 bash (treat as mace) or by hand held weapon Melee Basic Attack: Spiked Blow; level +2 vs. AC, 1d12 + STR modifier damage Trained Skills: Athletics, Endurance
Botanical Automaton Botanical Automatons are rugged, springy, and patient warriors that often wait motionless for an openning before striking. Plants need sunlight, water, and nutrious soil to stay in peak form. The construct must put down roots for at least 6 hours per day. Botanical Automatons are often equiped with the organic equivalent of armor and weapons. This botanical equipment is part of the creature and can not be changed with out rebuilding the automaton. Like other automations the botanical must be patched up by its user by grafting on new limbs or sealing gashes with resin. Botanical Automatons have the proficiencies of the "ranger" class.
BOTANICAL STATISTICS Ability Scores: STR 14, CON 14, DEX 16, INT 6, WIS 12, CHA 6 Size: Starts at medium but can be rebuilt to a larger size Speed: 5, burrow 5 Defenses: AC 10 + level + simulated armor, Fortitude: 12 + level, Reflex 13 + level, Will 12 + level Hit Points: 14 + 8 per level Attack Bonus: Level +4 Damage: 1d8 lash (treat as flail) or by simulated weapon Melee Basic Attack: Vine Whip; level +4 vs. AC, 1d8 + DEX modifier damage Opportunity Attacks: A botanical gains a bonus to opportunity attack damage rolls equal to its STR modifier. Trained Skill: Stealth
Alchemical Automaton This automaton was created in an alchemical laboratory rather than inspired by nature. Unlike a technological or botanical automaton it has no moving parts or cell structure. This design is powered either by divine, arcane, or elemental energy. This energy source is finite and last for a fortnight (two weeks) of continuous power until the automaton becomes inert and must be reanimated (10% of the build cost) by a day long ceremony. Alchemical automatons is the only automaton in which a magical item can be build as an integral part of the creature and can be stolen by looters. An alchemical automaton has all the proficiencies of the "cleric" class.
ALCHEMICAL STATISTICS Abilities: STR 14, CON 14, DEX 14, INT 6, WIS 14, CHA 6 Size: Starts at medium but can be increased at higher levels Speed: 7 Defenses: AC: 10 + Level + armor, Fortitude 12 + level, Reflex 12 + level, Will 13 + level Hit Points: 14 +8 per level Attack Bonus: Level +4 Damage: 1d8 slice (treat as heavy blade) or by weapon Melee Basic Attack: Slashing Blow; level +4 vs. AC, 1d8 + STR modifier damage Combat Advantage: When an alchemical automaton has combat advantage over a foe it gains its WIS modifier as a bonus to damage rolls. Trained Skills: Endurance, Perception
Necromantic Automatons These automatons are built from dead flesh, bones, and cursed steel. They are powered by negative energy. You must sacrifice a sentient creature upon the automaton for each day of useage. These skeletal designs often have four legs and insect or crablike appendages. Necromatic automatons have the proficiencies of the "fighter" class.
NECROMATIC STATISTICS Ability Scores: STR 14, CON 12, DEX 16, INT 6, WIS 12, CHA 6 Size: Starts at Medium but can be rebuilt larger Speed: 6, climb 6 Defenses: 10 + level + armor, Fortitude 11 + level, Reflex 12 + level, Will 12 + level Hit Points: 14 +8 per level Attack Bonus: Level +4 Damage: 1d8 stab (treat as light blade) or by hand held weapon Melee Basic Attack: Matis Jab; level +4 vs. AC, 1d8 + DEX modifier damage Trained Skills: Athletics, Stealth
BUILD or REBUILD AUTOMATON COHORT Using a variety of components and techniques you craft your Automaton Cohort. Using the same methods you can restore hit points lost in battle at a cost of 10gp per hit point.
Level: 1
Component Cost: 50gp + 12gp per level cubed.
Category: Creation
Market Price: 50gp per level cubed.
Time: One day of work per 15 hit points (round up)
Key Skill: Depends on automaton type: Technological (Thievery or Insight), Botanical (Nature), Alchemical (Arcana or Dungeoneering), and Necromantic (Religion or History). It requires a successfull skill challenge to succeed in creating an functional automaton (DC: Determined by level of the automaton, One skill check per day of work). An automaton improves its attribute scores as the builder increases in experience. Add one to two of your automaton's base ability scores at level 4, 8, 14, 18, 24, and 28. A paragon tier builder can create a "large" automaton. A epic tier builder can create a "huge" automaton.
EXAMPLES OF POSSIBLE AUTOMATONS VARIATIONS FROM THE MONSTER MANUAL
Fallen Angel If your not a fallen angel, your just a risen ape
Prerequisites: Two-blade fighting style. War Pick Proficiency, Trained in Acrobatics
Your life as a fallen angel is one of highs and lows. Harnessing the power of steam to provide flight is a difficult art to master and puts you in an elite cadre of warriors. The risk involved deters many from ever pursuing this class. The proud few who take to the air are respected for their skill and daring. The piece of technology that makes flight possible is their Steam Tube Wings. The metal wings of the fallen angel are strapped to your back and closely resemble the skeletal remains of a pair of bird or bat wings. You direct these wings with your hands preventing you from the use of any other hand held weapons while flying. Fallen angels also use their wings as melee weapons (war picks) and as sonic blast weapons (steam whistles). Unfortunately the steam tubes have a limited endurance of ten shots per tube and require a pair of shots for flight time. Some pilots link their wings to long steam hoses attached to a massive boiler common to locomotives, steamships, and steam driven automatons for a continuous supply of steam. They are irreverently known as "tethered angels".
Fallen Angel Path Features
Wing Beat Tempo (11th Level): You can use your pair of steam tube wings in melee combat as a pair of war picks. Anytime you hit with at least two melee attacks on your turn with a pair of matched weapons, you gain an immediate opportunity attack against an adjacent foe of your choice.
Rocket Action (11th Level): You have a specialized pair of steam tube wings that allows for flight when you fire them into the ground as a move action. When you spend an action point to make an extra move action to fly you do not deplete the payload of your steam pipe wings. At the end of your turn you drop to the ground if you aren't already there.
Steam Tube Proficiency (11th Level): You are proficient with the Steam Tube.
Steam Tube Maestro (16th Level): While weilding a steam pipe as a ranged or melee weapon you can add your WIS modifier to the damage you inflict.
Fallen Angel Exploits
Death From Above Fallen Angel Attack 11 You launch yourself high into the air and then drop down on your foe attempting to impale it with your wings. _______________________ Encounter ✦ Martial, Weapon Standard Action Melee Requirements: Steam Tube Wings Target: One creature Attack: Strength vs. AC _______________________ Hit: [2]W + STR modifier damage and you can attempt a secondary attack Effect: You fly to your target on a burst of steam from your wings Secondary Target: Same creature Secondary Attack: Strength vs. AC Hit: [2]W +STR modifier damage
Ascending Angel Fallen Angel Utility 12 You rapidly boost high into the air emitting a keening whistle that inspires your fellow warriors and unnerves your enemies. _______________________ Daily ✦ Martial, Fear, Weapon Move Action Close burst 10 Requirements: Steam Tube Wings Target: Each humanoid enemy in the radius of effect that can hear you. _______________________ Effect: The wailing shriek of your steam wings focuses all attention on you and inflicts a -1 penalty on all attacks against your allies. This penalty lasts until the end of the encounter. If you possess training in "Acrobatics", you also gain combat advantage against your targets until the end of your next turn.
Calliope Cacophony Fallen Angel Attack 20 You emit a blast of steam, heat, and sound that affects all those around you. _______________________ Daily ✦ Martial, Fire, Thunder, Zone, Weapon Standard Action Close burst 5 Requirements: Steam Tube Wings Target: All creatures (friend or foe) in area of effect Attack: Wisdom vs. Fortitude _______________________ Hit: 4d6 + WIS modifier thunder damage and you shift 6 squares. Effect: The burst creates a lingering cloud of super heated steam that lasts until the end of your turn. A creature that enters the zone or starts its turn there takes 1d8 + WIS Modifier fire damage.
NEW SUPERIOR WEAPON
Steam Tube: A steam tube was originally used as an industrial cleaning device, but quickly found its way onto the battle field. It consists of a small insulated water boiler connected to a steam hose and pressure nozzle handgun. With a success attack that inflicts damage you may attempt to inflict “Blindness” as a secondary attack with its scalding steam (DEX vs. Fort, save ends). The boiler uses an electrical heating element to boil the water and takes at least 10 minutes to generate steam from a cold start. The voltaic cells of the steam tube are good for reheating the boiler 4 times before they need to be replaced (200gp).
