New Weapons

Has anybody suggestd dialing back the handgun's damage yet?

I think it's great that youput the pistol in there, and though I'd have suggested a Colt Single Action Peacemaker to be more in keeping with the greyhawk deity Murlynd (that's how I'd backstory the pistol, since Murlyn was involved in taking Iuz down the first time, one of his weapons fell into Iuz' hands during the epic confrontation, thus making it into the hands of his evil clergy, from whence the witches of Gnarley wood obtained it when defeating a temple emissary who overreached in his ambitions), as the modder who created it the choice to make it a late twentyith century S&W was yours, and nobody has a right to say otherwise.

But I did notice that a very tough monster fell to that pistol's five shots without even getting to raise a huge white scaled talon in it's own defense. A bear I can see, people hunt bear with large caliber handguns al of the time, but a dragon?

If I could make a suggestion, I would suggest that for the next mod maybe you could consider making the damage more on par with a bear killer, and leave the dragon as the tough challange to a moderate level party that it as intended to be.

 

Speaking of guns, has anyone ever thought of
modelling guns like those in WoW or in Warhammer
the dwarves have? It would be more "realistic" if
such a weapon appeared instead of contemporary
arms.

 

Oh, I wasn't serious--I was just kidding. I'd just watched "The Terminator" and had the phrase in mind. I apologize if it came across as serious--it was kind of making fun of the "hey you should make a bgII module that would be kewl!!!" etc. requests (i.e. completely unrealistic) that seem to pop up occasionally.

 

I like it...much better than just a heavycrossbow

 

Phased Plasma isn't the only thing we're going to need if ever a mod for "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks" is planned. Might as well start playing with them sooner rather than later...

 

Contemporary arms are exactly what we have here, though. Not something developed by technological advancement of the state-of-the-art. It's a gun brought back by Murlynd when he travelled into an alternate existance in Boot Hill. Cujo just adapted it into an advanced version given the progression of things since the days of Murlynd. No Dwarven muskets. Sorry. I can't explain the rifle, except for what Allyx has said, unless...one of the Servants of the Gatherer claimed one as a trophy following their skirmish with the Nazis in the Sturmgeschutz & Sorcery scenario.

 

Barrier Peaks would be a really fun module, now that you mention it--really shake things up. But it probably won't happen until some point in the future . . . :aaaa:

It's been so long--did it adapt the rules from Metamorphosis Alpha, or Gamma World, do you remember, LS?

 

Oh well, at least I tried. My Dwarven Ranger would
surely love it. Oh, and just for clarity, I didn't want it
to be a weapon for testing, but a common arm,
that is: no damage like 6d6+99. It probably
won't happen because Greyhawk hasn't developed that
far with technology, right?. I don't know really, I have
better lore () about Forgotten Realms.

 

@Cujo: Is this the lines you were thinking of for a broom?

Cuchulainn.

 

yip, except with the brush part at the other end.

altho I'd like to see pic's of both ways next to each other (I didn't think about how it would look striking at an opponent)

btw, damn you - you're work is getting better and better that I can't find things wrong with it

 

well who's going to have a bowcaster in toee anyway, I mean we don't even have any tasmanian models.

 

Your wish is my command. Ignore the black bits, the model picked up the curse of the ghost shadows on the latest export. Let me know which way you want it held, and I'll get rid of the shadows.

Cuchulainn.
