Morph, you've got a full time job deleting posts these days. Don't fret Cujo, this will all get cleaned up again - mine too, please. (sigh)
The gun is effectively a triple powered wand of magic misiles with a cool new icon. It can also be used as a club. Very effective, and not (imo) overpowered as a late game weapon.
Yip Old Books right, the spell I made was sposed to kinda be a greater magic missile, but it had to have the chance of killing a bear in one shot. its 5d12 +1 damage if anyone thinks thats to high speak up.
I think it's fine, but it depends on when you get it. I'd place it on the 2nd or 3rd level of the temple; at that stage, it's powerful and useful without being overpowered. Even better if it were in the hand of someone who used it against you.
yeah but would they shoot you or just hit you with it, I guess you could just give them the spell so it looks like they're using the gun dark mage points his right index finger at you're clerics head and says "bang" a pink flash flys from his finger, through the clerics head, spraying blood and brain bits against the wall.
Cujo, i made it a shortbow (for the animation when using it crossbow would work too) that shoots bullets with a 200 range and 19-20x3 crit. and 3d6 damage. still have it as one handed. I did this so a halfling rogue/ranger focused on archery could solo without being to weak end game. After seeing your stats i will prolly boost up the damage a little.
A crossbow... hmmm... if you changed the projectiles to green (a la the disintegrate spell's green) it could be a Wookie Bowcaster... <runs>
Hahaha...wasn't exactly what i was going for (just give it a realistic shooting animation to use sling bullets, sling looked weird with all the swinging aroung his head) but sounds cool/prolly better...hmmm
my first attempt at the gun was using the crossbows, but I coun't figure out how to make it fire enough shots in one turn. I wouldn't mind having foritued and reflex saving throws for it either, and making it a bit like the rays so you can miss or hit and precise shot and point blank shot would be good feats to go with it.
How many shots were you going for. I could list the changes i made using the proto edit if you want and see if you like it or not. or if you have any suggestions to change it
