Firearms in 5e

[eamon]

I'm trying to figure out decent firearm rules for zeitgeist in 5e. Since I hope the 5e-natives will have ideas about this, I posted a thread in that forum: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...itique-my-firearm-rules&p=6393858#post6393858 - but if anyone here has any ideas, please, chime in!

A friend of mine wrote up what seems like a pretty good gunslinger fighter that's been well received by the RPGnet crowd and is apparently being playtested.

Maybe this will help? A preview of firearm rules from the upcoming DMG:

Hmm, interesting - good find! I'm a little disappointed that it's basically just a better crossbow with inferior range, however. I do think this confirms the suspicions some people voiced in the linked thread that my initial ranges were too good, however.
