Let's imagine a goblin with an axe and a shield. OK? And now the same goblin with the same stats, but now with a sniper rifle from the top of a tree, and almost PCs are standar sword & sorcery heroes, without armours, shields nor guns. Other example, in a campaign, Jakandor, for example, the PCs are being invaded by alien goblins riding steampunk mechas. You can suppose the balance of power is totally broken. An option would be enemies with that "extra help" should be a higher XP reward, like a monster template was added (but how many XPs?). Other option could be allowing some little magic tricks to saboteur firearms, for example a little piece of ectoplasm to block the canon or the catrip "watering gundpowder". But what if the PCs are the gunslingers fightings against supernatural menaces? What if you can't shoot because enemy is using illusory magic to create the effect of smoke grenades to hide? And what if in the big cities firearms can't work in the streets because it is avoided by a field of divine magic? Or warpriests wouldn't be allowed to heal with divine magic to gunslingers because "firearms are against the true warrior spirit"?</p></blockquote><p></p>
