[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 8063973, member: 6871653"] I would not mind black powder weapons, but I would refrain from going all in on science and technology, lest A5E will be considered a steampunk or modern rules addition to 5e, which I dont think is want the designers want. Siege weapons could be added to a warfare system, should the book have one. A savant based on item usage and lore can be interesting.
