Spoilers, so players stay out.
Has anyone run with a PC playing a Gunslinger, firearms focused Fighter, or similar, making use of modern firearms in books 5 & 6?
How balanced are they against everything else? I know the PCs are pretty high level but that point, but modern firearms have better range, less unreliability, go versus touch AC for longer, reload easier… it feels like all the downsides are gone. And the requirement for modern ammo can be dealt with by a spell or enchantment.
Both sides make use of long range in Book 5,and book 6 has less open spaces to do that with, so I suppose that's some balance, but it'd be good to hear others experiences.
TBH, the specific weapon is less the issue, it's more the unreliability being largely removed as an issue, and how much use they'll get out of being able to make Touch Attacks at a range of 200ft rather than 30-40.
