I'm bothered by the lack of a lvl 20 slug throwing pistol. All the ones that level have special ammunition darts, rockets, burning bullets. So I'm considering this as a final step in the rotating barrel pistol series and would appreciate feedback on if its balanced and if not what to change.

Level 20; Price 725,400
Hands 1; Proficience Small Arms
Damage 10d4 P; Range 50 ft.; Critical —
Capacity 10 rounds; Usage 1
Bulk L; Special analog, conceal


Does the gasconade hand cannon not do it for you?

But in all seriousness... for a small concealable weapon 10d4 is probably fine... but, outside my personal distaste for the d4 die in general 25 average damage is lower than the 30.5-36 of other level 18-20 projectile weapons.

What I'm saying is: It's balanced because it's worse than the other options.

Hmmm my first inclination to be honest was . . .

IMO that would be fine, just because it is targeting KAC after all.
