[QUOTE="Lackhand, post: 4200456, member: 36160"] Fact: Just saying "3 actions in a row" is unlike 4e. Fact: Players like rolling dice. Fact: DMs don't. Conclusion: Recharge mechanic? Rather than requiring spending 3 standard actions in a row, let them spend a standard action to roll a recharge die. Gives them something to roll each round, anyway -- either a dex-y check, or just the straight d6 (recharge on a :4: :5: :6: ?) You want it to take 3ish rounds, so say a two stage process -- one to clean the gun, one to load the gun? It is automatic if they take a short rest. This means that on rounds where the player is reloading (if they're doing this in combat -- you might also just take a bow to verisimilit-cough and let them reload their muskets while they're changing armor), they still get to touch dice.
