Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasper" data-source="post: 9893123" data-attributes="member: 277">Just some random thoughts. Deset Gled and Reynard appear to be on the opposite side.Reynard “ …he 5E engine is primarily focused on action adventure combat with Hollywood physics and John McClane style protagonists who get bloody but rarely fall down. Guns fit fine into that paradigm…..” I agree. Especially after too many guns are just tools or guns are uber instant kill weapons arguments from 1980 on.Deset Gled “…Armor like chainmail is effectively useless against guns. There's a reason guns completely changed what warfare….” This a fact but in a world where the nerd can rub some bat pooh on his fingers and take out the jocks who shoved him into a locker, would it be still true.luisCarlos17f “…Even if firearms were allowed the PCs could bet for the magitek version because these don't suffer malfuctions. DM and players could invent low-level spells to cause malfuctions of firearms….” Why? Does any third party product have spell of “Malfunction weapon” which causes your hand crossbow to jam?If I was going allow Firearms in my game, I would keep them martial weapons like in the 5.5 DMG. If my group wanted to go the whole Sam Colt, then simple weapons and reduced the damage by 1 die.</blockquote>
