[QUOTE="skotothalamos, post: 6279972, member: 83398"] One of our new characters is trying to build a Gunsmith Ranger and we're having a disagreement about reloading. The Ammunition Clip gives a weapon 5 or 6 shots before it has to be reloaded. Then it also says reloading is now a minor action (or free with Speed Loader). I was thinking it needed a minor action to chamber each new round (we're talking lever-action repeater here, not semi-automatic M1 Garand, right?) and then you would use a standard to reload a full clip. The player says it just talks about reloading the clip as a minor action (which, seriously? Even modern combatants with fully-automatic rifles have to take a break in the constant stream of fire to reload). so.. I was thinking the time between firing two bullets would be as such: Standard Action: normal firearm Move Action: normal firearm with Speed Loader feat Minor Action: firearm with ammunition clip Free Action: firearm with ammunition clip, in combination with Speed Loader feat i'll probably house-rule it that way for my game anyway, but i was curious what the actual intent was.
