I'm going to be running a campiagn while my friend is off at college. I plan on it being themed around a corrupt Human industrial giant who deals in slavery, and is upseting the natural balance, using mages to power their factories.
The idea is that the players will be working with a resistance unit to restore balance, and that blackpowder-like weapons have been around 100 years.
However, D&D core books barely cover these weapons to the degree I'd need them, so here's my thoughts:
Pistol- Roughly same damage as a Short Sword, requires a move action to reload
Musket- Roughly same damage as a Longsword, requires a Standard action to reload
Blunderbuss- Same as a Musket, but reduces opponent's AC by 2 and requires Exotic Proficiency
Hand Cannon- Roughly same damage as a Greatsword, but requires Exotic Weapon Proficiency, requires Full-Round Action to reload
All Blackpowder Weapons- Must roll a d% before you attack. A roll of <50 means you have a Flash in the Pan (weapon malfunctions)
Rapid Reload reduces the reload time by one step.
is this a good idea on how to do this, or is there a better, already designed system?
