blowguns

[Zustiur]

I intend to use the Beastmen from the Creature Catalogue this weekend.

One of their listed weapons is a blowgun, but I can't find any 3E rules for such a weapon.
Mainly I need to know, is it simple, martial or exotic, and what range increment does it have.

Does anybody have details for this, or know where I can find them?

Dragon #275. The Warrior issue.

Exotic weapon, 1d3 damage, 20 gp, x2 crit, range 10, weight 2, piercing (of course).
Bolts are 1gp for 10 and weigh 1/2 lb.

Hope that helps.

RL Blowguns

IRL, the stats given for all of the above are too weak, especially the ranges. All the cited examples have maximum ranges of 100'. IRL, blowguns are used to shoot birds and monkeys in the jungle canopy! The range of a blowgun depends almost entirely upon its length... (I have some stats around here, somewhere...) In any case, I would increase the range on AT LEAST the greater blowgun to 20', minimum. Otherwise, the 'gunners will be cut down by the archers with ease, shooting from 110' where the 'gunners can't even hit them!
