[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7214930, member: 6801845"] Is any of this in a format that could be uploaded as a text file? It could be an interesting discussion point. My other thoughts on this, based on movies and urban fantasy novels. [LIST] [*]Supernatural creatures often have resistance to or are immune to bullets. [*]Intelligent humanoid monsters (e.g. orcs) have access to the same technology. An ogre with a heavy gatling gun ala Fallout Super Mutants. [*]Ammo is heavy. Depending on how easy it is to restock, this could be a serious limitation. [*]Spells may exist that jam technological devices. In the Dresden Files for example, weapons more advanced than a revolver tend to jam for Dresden, but the area of effect could increase. In other novels, all it takes is the equivalent of a cantrip to loosen a few screws in a gun or to prematurely fire off bullets. [*]Ban (or modify) the sharpshooter feat so that people are always at disadvantage to hit if enemies are adjacent. [*]Develop rules to disarm/grapple someone with a firearm. Have the monsters run right up to them and either disarm the handgun or grab the long gun and point it away. [*]Modify the CR calculation, and heavily discount the CR level of monsters that don't counter the effect of firearms while the PCs have ammunition. Throw waves of cannon fodder at the PCs.
