(Or is it Ebberon? I can never keep that one straight!) I like the submersibles in the current issue of Dungeon, and I like firearms too. If it helps, imc certain orcs have guns that use sunpowder- basically, there's a sun god that they got converted to by dwarven missionaries; taking the most warlike aspects of this god, they learned to turn sunlight into a volatile liquid, then to turn this liquid into an explosive powder. So I have (5th level) orcish pistoleers. The sunpowder pistols are superior weapons, range 10/20, reload minor, dex-based attack, damage 1d10+dex bonus. In addition, when a pistol fires, its wielder's space is filled with smoke until the end of his next turn, granting him concealment. I have no idea what the prof. bonus is; it's not really a weapon for pcs, since they can't get shot and powder. But the wizard really wanted one- if you've ever seen the animated movie Wizards, you can understand.</blockquote>
