Double Barrelled Firearms Full Attack


Rules Questions


I wonder did we ever get an answer/errata on how the double barrelled firearms work with a full attack.

Now obviously a double barrelled musket can be used to shoot two bullets on the same attack which means with a standard action you can shoot 2 bullets at a -4 penalty.

But lets move on to a full attack, obviously a full attack is made up of multiple iterative attacks and bonus attack (haste, rapid shot etc). Now there is nothing saying that you can't double your number of shots per attack for every attack in a full attack with a -4 penalty but that doesn't seem balanced to me.

So how is the double barrelled firearms special abilities meant to react with full attacks?

If you can reload with a free action - go nuts.

That's basically the long and short of it.

I play a musket master so I always laugh when I hear people cry about balance and see myself jamming half-way through the first round. the odds of you getting off all of those attacks without jamming is very low.

Seriously just use the Jury Rig Spell its a first level spell that lets you ignore that mechanic.

Why would you cast a spell when you can just clear it with a standard action, or with a grit point, a move action.

OR

Are you claiming that because of the wording of the spell, "an item with the broken condition suffers no adverse effects from that condition", the firearm can never explode because it suffers "no adverse effects from that condition"?

Interesting.

You realise that it only lasts one round per level though? Not exactly all that useful unless you have lots of levels in that class.
