I really hope the final version does contain some kind of gun-toting subclass. However, it would probably be easy to add once the rest is right, so after reading this thread I hope that the UA contains a good overall framework and a couple of subclasses that are suitable for Eberron.The generic framework should not have anything that seems off in Eberron, but also nothing that marks the class as "the Eberron class". Based on this thread I assume wandslinger, making minor magic items and making constructs are suitable themes for subclasses in Eberron, with guns added in some later and more generic book. That could also include some kind of robots or "robot arms" as far as I am concerned. Maybe limit it to small creature and dwarves.Tinker gnomes (or is "rock gnomes" the right word?) should be good artificers. Maybe dwarves too, at least for the thunder gun version.An alternative to a gun that would make me just as happy would be a signature semi-automatic light crossbow or hand crossbow and some reason for it to be limited to the artificer and mechanically better than a fighter with crossbow expert. Maybe it's better because it's more versatile (adding spells or something like the arcane archer effects, but through premade special bolts) or by doing more damage in some situations. Bonus action additional attack perhaps? Whatever gives you an incentive to pick the subclass over a fighter with crossbow expert.</blockquote>
