D&D (2024) Firearms to be made a fixed part of the game, new Weapons Rules

[Henadic Theologian]

The next Realms Shaking Event will rescind this.

Maybe the Giff find out their Gods come from the Forgotten Realms, like Katashaka maybe, and they wake them up the Giff God of Guns, The Giff God of Ammo, and the Giff God of Gunpowder & Explosives.

Basically. They can apply a secondary Mastery to a weapon and then choose which gets applied when they attack.

They're basically spells.

Well, that's silly if true. These effects should be linked to weapon type, rather than allowing someone to, for instance, knock someone prone with a dagger or nick them with a warhammer.

Wondering what flex does for the warhammer?

You flex your muscles while going "its this way to the beach" and you get advantage on seduction rolls.

Maybe the Giff find out their Gods come from the Forgotten Realms, like Katashaka maybe, and they wake them up the Giff God of Guns, The Giff God of Ammo, and the Giff God of Gunpowder & Explosives.

They will leave the God of Insurance Liability asleep, though.

They're basically spells.

So only one mastery gets applied at a time still, not both?

Flex lets you use Versatile damage with one hand. (Sword and Board buff)

So only one mastery gets applied at a time still, not both?

Apparently.

They are, though only the Fighter can use them and apply a secondary effect.

Unrelated but apparently Planescape may end up being a repeat of Spelljammer. 3 book + screen slipcase and the books are gonna be 60ish pages.

I don't have any super well thought out reasons to leave firearms out of D&D save for personal preference. It makes sense to include them in the core rules.

Weapon choice that matters?

Hallelujah!

Now make some classes that use weapons that matter.
