The Drift Crisis rulebook has the propel weapon special property that says "move affected targets the listed distance" yet the weapon tables and descriptions have no listed distances with the propel property. What might be reasonable distances for those weapons for the propel property?

FAQing.
Grenades do list propel distance. 5 and 10ft depending on level.
blunderbuss does not list one. But it is a blast weapon so maybe its restricted to the increment in some way.

I love the idea of the blunderbuss because small weapons rarely get such neat traits.

I totally agree that the blunderbuss is super awesome and unique. Basically a free AoO provoke? Yes please!

Archives of Nethys has the grenades listed at propel 5, 5, 10, 10, 15 for each mark respectively. Not sure where they got those numbers. I just checked my Drift Crisis pdf and still don't see any listed propel ranges...

Starfinder society came out with a ruling for propel weapons, it'll probably make its way into the FAQ eventually:

Levels 1-9 5ft
Levels 10-17 10ft
Levels 17+ 15ft

Perfect, thanks!
