This already kind of helps deal with armour/shield though since they don't help at all. You do have to imagine Dex saves less as a creature dodging and more as a general quickness/shiftiness that makes high dex creatures harder to target and hit. Give advantage on the save when used at long range, with the DC is 8+Dex+Prof.If your going to use Exploding Dice it's better to use multiple smaller dice, ie 2d6 instead of 1d12, even 3d4 would be kind of interesting and unique as d4s aren't something that D&D overall uses as much as the other dice. Though since they are essentially limited to once per combat I'd be tempted to go quite high, three or four d6 would make them worthwhile. Balance wise you also have to consider multiple loaded pistols, having say 6 pistols can mean that every attack for the combat is done with a pistol for instance.</blockquote>
