So i'm dredging up an old campaign I played with another group and have worked it fairly well into D&D 4e. The issue is it was a Renascence like setting and guns were right along side of bows. D&D really has dodged that bullet, getting rid of even the gnomes and the smokepowder weapons. So i would like to know opinions on this...* I will allow players to buy "firearms" buy purchasing a hand crossbow (pistol,) crossbow (musket,) or superior crossbow (rifle) at 120% normal cost. * The weapons are Minor 2 Load so the player can only take a standard action (or trade it in) the same turn as they load.* Damage Die increases by 1 size.* firearms are high crit weapons* on a nat 1 attak roll the weapon jams and takes a standard action to clear. Doing so will provoke.* Firearms are treated as crossbows for feats and powers, but can only be reduced to a Load Minor instead of a load free.* Ranges will be equivalent to their "conventional" counterpart.I'm not looking for realistic, trust me, i know enough about firearms to write a supplement. I am looking for a "fair" and balanced way of adding these to the games without making them OP or UP. as is, the highest damage die a gun would have is a D12, range 50 (assuming a Long Rang Superior crossbow is used as a base.)</blockquote>
