[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7560491, member: 6802378"] We can't avoid the classic confrontation about realism vs gameplay. The trouble is firearms are cheaper than magic and if gunslingers are allowed then they would replace the hand-to hand or no-ranged combat classes (paladin, monks or barbarians). Lots of time fans have forgotten the idea of enemies with firearms but not by the PCs, for example primitive tribe of na'vis living in a jungle and being invaded by goblins with their steampunk mechas. Somebody could try to create low level tricks against firearms, for example a piece of ectoplasm to block canons or to water gundpower. And in a fantasy world some supernatural factions wouldn't want firearms by humanoids (giants, dragons, lord feys, war deities, knight orders..). The firearms couldn't work in the cities by a divine curse with an area effect. A war deity to punish firearms in the battlefield could summon an horde of petitioner warriors from the Walhalla with a bulletproof immunity, or to animate a squad of constructs only could be damaged by melee weapons.
