I have a campaign I’m starting up soon and a player is asking to be @matthewmercer’s Gunslinger. Does anyone have one or DM for one? Nervous about the crafting aspect mostly. The crafting is mostly to repair firearms, and craft certain firearms and ammunition at half cost based on the difficulty of the task (in your mind). Ammo isn’t a huge DC, but weapons can take time/multiple checks. Low rolls can succeed, but may increase the misfire Score.

As a twitter rando, can I point out I’m not a huge fan of misfire rules? I understand that people like to build in reasons why *everyone* doesn’t use guns, but centering a character on a weapon that gets extra chances to break seems unduly punitive. Just my two cents. Then by all means, don’t use them! 🙂 They are there as a means of balance/flavor, but your game is your game.

Yeah, I was more trying to talk design theory, rather than lobby you for changes in your own rules. (I kinda forgot who you were. Sorry.) It’s all good! The class was originally designed as a conversion of the Pathfinder Gunslinger, which is where the misfire comes from. Latest edition, and coming feat, have options to offset the danger/impact of misfire. 🙂

Same as the PHB, though certain events in the campaign might grant a Feat as a reward, should be scenario call for it.

Feat as a reward!!!!!!! That’s a great idea!

Wasn’t that what happened to Keyleth in the last campaign, you gave her a feat after her journey? Indeed! She gained the “Inspiring Leader” feat when she finished her Aramente

I’m thinking about starting a Planeswalking D&D campaign based off of your Plane Shift articles about Zendikar, Innistrad etc. Do you have any advice on running such a game? 1) Give PCs a strong reason to go to specific planes. 2) Planeswalker enemies are good. 3) Brace yourself to be surprised. 4) Tell your players not to be jerks and go off to random planes. 5) Have fun! #dnd #mtg #wotcstaff

Firstly! You rock and thank you for spreading this amazing game to so many people! Secondly, I am going to be playing a monk a “from rags to riches” concept based on Sun Wu Kong, and am needing an official base guideline on nunchaku! Please & thank you!I’d treat it as a flail

Ah! Any chance you have some advice on how to manage a battle scenario without maps? I do this too, but it would be nice with some #ProTips You can keep track of relative distance/location with coins as a quick reference (either behind the screen or in front of it). If you’re down to customize a bit, you can also break down distance into categories: Adjacent, Close, Far, etc. A full move jumps the distance between.
