D&D at this point encompasses a whole range of settings. I can definitely see using this in the right game. Heck, there were at least one or two gunslingers around in Gygax's Greyhawk, as shown in EX 2: The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror.
Plus the Red Steel expansion to Mystara covering the Savage Coast region gave us smokepowder and guns, though limited to that region by magical curse to keep the guns from spreading to the rest of the planet.
Which is a pretty good way to contain it. If not a curse, one could do the equivalent of wild magic zones where advanced technology works instead, maybe showing they're the sites of previous incursions from other planes, etc.
Loved the red Steel expansion.
I just prefer using guns as a Ranger, Fighter, Rogue, Artificer rather than have a dedicated class for them.
You mean me? Or a general "you?" I'd love to take credit for this, lol, but I am just a fan
Yeah, it does, except the Secret Agent subclass is kind of modern flavored.
I can't speak as to what's in the D&D beyond, but in Valda's SoS, they had a sidebar explaining how to use the class with different ages of weapons, or "magic firearms" to be more of a wandslinger.
