The Age of Flintlock: Firearms (5e)
"Nothing makes you feel more alive then when you have death in your hands." - Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch This document details my own version of a flintlock focused firearm system. This system is meant to replace the lackluster system presented in the DMG. When designing this system¸ my goal was to provide a fleshed out system to accuratly simulate the additon of flintlock firearms into a D&D game¸ while also making it simple enough to not boggle down gameplay. Because of this¸ the firearms are mainly suited more for gameplay rather than realism. My hope is that this system can benefit the experience of many more DMs and players alike¸ as it has for my group. Included in this document Fourteen unique firearms from the 17th¸ 18th¸ and early 19th centery Two in-theme melee weapons Nine unique ammuniton types Seven throwable bombs with different effects and properties Seven weapon modifications that can be applied to each firearm A detailed and comprehensive firearm mechanic system including new mechanics and weapon properties Hopefully you enjoy my work¸ and if you do¸ feel free to leave a comment to give me support or feedback in order to improve this system¸ I really appreciate it! Thank you¸ and have a nice read! :)
