Gunslinger Discussion: Round 1

Silver Crusade

I am perposing an idea that would make the gunslinger a much more viable class. Do away with black podwer firearms. limit pistols
to 4 barrells and they break open like a doubble barrell shot gun or over under shot gun. bulletts are brass with lead or other metal tips.

This would do away with a lot of the wonky reload rules. A move action to reload any weapon. With the rapid reload feat it would decrease the reload time to a swift action.

Rifles/smothbore muskets break open like pisols and are limited to 6 barreals. [IRL there was a six barelled borading gun in the 1800's
and many german and english companies make multibarled rifes for hunting to this day]

Keep the Prices the same and add masterwork for firearms.

I would increase the damage 2d6x4 per barrell for pistols and 2d10x4 per barrell for rifles.

as for casks of podwer that I read about in one of Josh's posts keep it the same but make it smokeless podwer.
