Powder & Shot: Black powder weapons for Basic Fantasy
Re: Powder & Shot: Black powder weapons for Basic Fantasy
Kheten was on last month, must have missed your post. Well good thing we're open source so you can edit the ODT to your heart's content for your own campaign.

I apologize, my message must have been misinterpreted. I wasn't asking/demanding a addition to the supplement, I was trying to sate my curiosity on the inspiration for the grenade pistol's origin and possible IRL historical version.chiisu81 wrote:Was on last month, must have missed your post.

Sorry my last post wasn't clear, I had meant Kheten had been online then. When signed in you can click on a user's name to see their last online date, etc.

Oh, I mixed up you and Kheten! Sorry about that, lol.

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I've been dealing with a few things outside of games.
As to JakeCWolf's question. I did read it a while ago and have made a few changes. And yes, the grenade pistol and the hand mortar are the same weapon.

I remember reading an article in Dragon Magazine back in the day with the keep-rolling damage roll if you roll the max value on the die. I thought the idea was cool back then and seeing it in the supplement brought back those feelings . However, as a GM if I implemented black powder rules I think I would go with the decreasing die rolled each time. So if base damage is a d8 and an 8 is rolled, then a d6 would be used and a 6 would then allow a d4 and either cap there or go down to a d3 or d2. I know have seen other systems that use a similar mechanic for tracking inventory and thought it was interesting and could see it applying for damage with black powder weapons.
