Why grow wheat when you can grow expensive spices?
My sword drips igniting liquid ethane/propane... and ethane/propane accessories.
If you are going to invent a way to cure lycanthropy, I would take a page from the old 2e Van Richten's guides. Basically, a special ritual involving remove curse can break it, but only if the nautural (not infected) lycanthrope that is the source of the infection (or chain of infection) is first killed. Maybe someone has the book on hand or remembers it better than I do. Curing lycanthropy in Ravenloft was not easy.
Sounds like Gene Starwind's gun from Outlaw Star. I don't think it would be an artifact, just a magic item.
1. The "ammo" used should only be for offensive type spells directed at an enemy or an area - no buffs or utility spells. I would probably just stick with scrolls - expensive but closer to the inspiring source material (I think). 2. All spells should require attack rolls, even area effects spells. 3. For consistency, I would use the firearm misfire rules in UC and treat those as scroll errors. 3. I would increase loading time and add a -4 attack penalty if nonproficient. 4. Applying firearm/combat feats is probably fine, as long as the loading times prevent full attacks. Being able to get offensive spells off as iterative attacks could be pretty devastating. 5. I think attack should be standard action, but reload should be a full round action, subject to being reduced by rapid reload feats. I love Outlaw Star, so I think the idea is a good one to borrow.
If a T-Rex makes a rules suggestion, I follow it unless a Red Dragon says otherwise.
If I were the wizard, and the paladin in the party demanded I stop summoning devils, I would tell the paladin to shove it. What gives him the right to tell me what I can and cannot summon? As a private magic user, it it is my right to cast summon monster X however I see fit, and am under no obligation to follow the paladin's sense of morality. A mage decides for himself what he should and should not do, not some pretty boy in armor and can choose for himself the moral consequences of his actions. How dare a paladin try to force his worldview on everyone else! |
