[QUOTE="Scott Graves, post: 7603491, member: 6981164"] Who gives a damn. The point is pistols will work differently than crossbows so one needs to think of them as something different, not just a riff on a crossbow. The guy is playing a pirate. I doubt he's min-maxing a guy. A single rifled wheellock pistol gives him the possibility of an Indiana Jones moment. Instead of taking on the swordsman he just shoots the guy. Then proceeds to dismember others with a sword while flippig the pistol around and beatig enemies on the head with the butt of the pistol. Perhaps spiked for just such a purpose. It's about flavor but it needs balance so not everyone gets one and its no longer a unique trait about him. It should have a story of how he got it. Something blown out of proportion of course, a good sailor's tale! "Twas twenty men chasing this little gnome fella and I thought them's was dirty odds. So bein a gentleman me own self I took after them men and started a wailing on them with an oar I grabbed from a long boat. The little fella had an opening and used this weird thing to blow a hole clean through one of the goons. After that they didn't have the fight in them. For savin' his life he gave me one of them things and showed me the workins of it. It's not like havin magic or a crossbow what will fire faster but this little darlin doesn't look like nuttin dangerous until ya' shove it in some fellas face and rearrange it so as his friends can't even recognize him. It's me most prized possession an' I'd rather give me left hand away than lose my little Bessie here. [/QUOTE]
