[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 9280299, member: 53980"] I played in an apocalyptic modern campaign (probably over a decade ago at this point) that used heavily modded D&D rules. As best as I can recollect, guns dealt crossbow-ish damage, but had three range increments. The least favorable range prevented you from adding your modifier to the damage. The "normal" range worked in the expected manner(add your modifier). The optimal range (which was referred to as the wheelhouse) added extra damage. It was either an extra die of damage or double your modifier (I'm fuzzy on it, but I think it was probably double mod). Pistols tended to have the wheelhouse at short range. Carbines had the wheelhouse at mid range. Rifles generally had the wheelhouse at long range. The least favorable and normal ranges varied by weapon. It was a fun and interesting system that made movement and positioning very important. You always wanted to be in your wheelhouse if at all possible, and to avoid your least favorable range. I'm not sure whether it would work for regular D&D, but I thought I'd mention it since it's one of the better systems that I've seen. [/QUOTE]
