Check: Any action involving an explosive requires a skill check. Disable simple explosive: You can disarm a simple explosive or bomb that is not trapped. Generally, this task involves little more than cutting a fuse or putting out a slow-burning match. If you have 5 or more ranks in Disable Device, you gain a +2 synergy bonus on the Munitions check. Set fuse: You safely set the fuse on a gunpowder explosive so that it detonates after one round. Place explosive: You set a gunpowder charge at the correct location to produce the maximum effect on a structure or other object. You must still set the fuse to determine when the explosive will detonate. Set timed fuse length: This use of the skill allows you to set a fuse so that an explosive detonates at a predetermined time. Asuccessful skill check indicates that the explosive goes off during your initiative on the designated round. A failure on the skill check means that the explosive fails to detonate, goes off early, or detonates later than desired. The following table indicates what happens on a failed skill check.d20 Round of Detonation1–4 Explosive fails to go off5–8 Two rounds early9–12 One round early13–16 One round late17–20 Two rounds late Make complex explosive: This use of the skill represents the construction of a trapped explosive, rigged to prevent disarming attempts. Construction takes at least 1 minute, but depending on the size and composition of the bomb and the trap, more time may be required at the DM’s discretion. If you have 5 or more ranks in Craft (trapmaking), you gain a +2 synergy bonus on skill checks for this task. Disable complex explosive: Use this skill task when trying to disarm an explosive specifically trapped to discourage tampering. You must make an opposed Munitions skill check against the character that made the trapped explosive. A standard complex explosive is DC 20, but more exotic or complicated bombs may be even more difficult. Quick Reload: You can make a Munitions check to reload your firearms faster. If you have 5 or more ranks in Concentration, you get a +2 synergy bonus to Munitions checks to reload a firearm.Special: If you fail to disable a trapped explosive by more than 5, the explosive detonates immediately. You can make a Reflex save (explosive’s DC + 5) for half damage.101MunitionsTask DC Action RequiredDisable simple explosive 10 Standard actionSet fuse 15 Standard actionPlace explosive 15 Full-round actionSet timed fuse length 20 Standard actionMake complex explosive 25 Variable, see belowDisable complex explosive Opposed Full-round actionQuick reload (matchlock) 15 Full-round actionQuick reload (flintlock) 20 Standard action Use Steamcraft Device (Int)Use this skill to operate complex mechanical devices, such as steam engines, and other machines. Check: You need this skill because such technology is rare and exotic or if you want to attempt an advanced or specialized task. Retry: Depending on the situation, you can retry as often as you like. However, in some cases, the situation or the specific device youare using will prevent further attempts.--Those are modified from Sorcery and Steam, which I am using as my "base". As I noted before, Steam is Ancient Technology, so go with that where you will. I wanna limit the use of firearms to lower level characters. They're powerful and expensive. Most of said ancient technology cannot be reproduced...or rather the modern world hasn't figured it out yet.  Digger's Society or Order of Studious Archeologists A group concerned with the excavation and study of ancient technology. In order to "dig", you must have the proper license given by the OSA.  --If you have Sorcery and Steam, maybe leaf through it or obtain a pdf and check it out. There's an Artificer class in it, but I feel it is horribly lacking.</blockquote>
