[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8987582, member: 58172"] 4e works well like that. The DM can build a setting on the fly by deciding which power sources are in play there. For example, my Feywild was notable for having no Martial traditions. The Martial source is of Human origin in the Material Plane. Any Elf/Eladrin that is a Martial class necessarily learned this tradition from a native Human culture, whether directly or indirectly. It made the setting diverse with interesting implications and contexts. I agree, the mechanics for firearms must be balanced, and simulate real firearms well enough. It should be easy for a DM to port firearms into a campaign setting and be good to go. For cantrips, it can be useful to swap a cantrip for a weapon proficiency and viceversa. So trading a cantrip for a firearm or longsword would be cool, especially with a way to scale it while advancing to higher levels. Consider the Shillelagh cantrip. The cantrip itself might grant proficiency to wield a specific firearm, and even make shooting it a magical attack that uses Intelligence to hit rather than Dexterity. [/QUOTE]
