[QUOTE="InVinoVeritas, post: 4768597, member: 41485"] Regarding the gun questions: Guns are exotic weapons. This is a balance issue above anything; comparing the damage and hand utility between a dragon pistol and a light crossbow shows the importance of this. I'll allow Rapid Reload and Crossbow Sniper to be used with guns. Theroc, if you're looking for a gun-focused ranger without spells, you are probably better off with a fighter. An Elf Fighter 5 can have the following: EWP: Dragon Rifle WF: Dragon Rifle Point Blank Shot Precise Shot WS: Dragon Rifle A Fighter 4/Rogue 1 could swap out the WS with Sniper, for the additional range on sneak attacks. A ranger, on the other hand, would have the following: EWP: Dragon Rifle Rapid Shot Rapid Reload (Dragon Rifle) Track Endurance Note that a human fighter can have BOTH WS and Sniper. For everyone: I'm pretty much at my limit for extra rules, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accept any additional rules beyond d20SRD + Complete Series + PHBII + Guns. Please design accordingly. I believe all the other characters so far use only these rulesets--when they were first made, I disallowed Complete and PHBII, even (Calahan was a later addition). Regarding "extra gold/rewards": Your reward is the continued preservation of culture and good works in the city! :angel: More seriously, because you're members of the constabulary, your ability to requisition equipment covers most of that need. The 9,000 gp starting gold is a quick representation of what can be reasonably acquired. Furthermore, you'll find that your successes will quickly translate into added social status in Paridon--and that status is priceless. As an example, Fr. Berman's new pistols came from somebody. Ru's history kept showing up. (Even throwaway details can prove important later in the game. And, thanks to the forum format, I can remember these details.) In an ever-connected city like Paridon, reputations travel far. Note to the players with characters spanning games: Review your equipment, and let me know if there's anything you'd like to update. HP are max 1st level, 1/2+1 each level after that. (3 for a d4, 4 for a d6, etc.) I'll review characters over the next week. If I have any more questions, I'll let you know. Hopefully I've answered everything everyone is wondering, but I may have missed something. [/QUOTE]
