im sorry but the way you wrote link and legend of zelda together reminded me of "I AM NOW SANS UNDERTALE, GO INTO MY EYES". (edited because the clip i grabbed had someone swear at the end and idk if that violates site policy)

im not sure if this is a joke but if it's not i'd say it's really situational. if you're in a lot of situations where your vision on the enemy is hindered for some reason (e.g. they're invisible or you're playing a human and there's a lot of dark areas and not a lot of light) and you're a melee...

1586 is pretty solidly early modern, from what i can find...

that's...what i said...?

i was gonna say on attacks with a lot of damage dice (e.g. smites) the reroll potential can be pretty good, and then i remembered this was 2024 and checked if it was changed and, lo and behold, the reroll is now just a floor of 3. ow.

i understood what you meant. that's why i said what i said.

i would say don't mythologize guns any more then dnd mythologizes any other weapon. which is to say some mythologizing is fine. a lot of weapons in dnd have some mythologizing going on, especially swords. just be careful about it. also, hot take - loading should add extra weapon damage dice for...

ignoring that if firearms were logistically expensive they never would have caught on, "commoner men-at-arms" is kind of a contradiction unless you just mean "commoner" to mean "not a noble". men-at-arms were highly trained and well equipped. they wouldn't need an "easy" option (though depending...

not that "fanning the hammer" was a real thing any professional seriously did. but people like it in fiction. so.

gatling gun. maxim gun, even. i've seen multiple different good burst and auto rules. the problem is a lot of the time they're hard to translate into dnd (thanks, EXTRA ATTACK).

well, hence "and the weapon". i mean, considering what role a weapon plays irl or in fiction should at least be a factor.

well, depending on the situation and the weapon the bursts can be pretty long (i've seen m249 gunners belt out like 20-30 round "bursts" without much care in war footage). but suppressive fire is kinda hard to replicate, and just a cone aoe attack doesn't really do it. i can think of a couple...

oh. oh oh oh oh wait. steal a bit of pf2e rules and make it so firearms only ever have a single damage die (so max at d12) unless they're firing multiple projectiles, and each projectile adds a damage die for any properties that let you fire extra rounds. there's something here...

see that's the "close enough" joke i WOULD have made but i already did it in the other thread. so.

frankly, considering some of the things i've seen argued on this forum, and some of the things i've seen argued off of it, i have to disagree with that assumption. let me put it this way - if you don't believe the people on this forum are meaningfully better (or worse) then the average player...
