Sep 03, 2003 The new 3.5E Duellist with only +1 and +2d6 at 5 and 10 is kinda 'eh'. The price of entry remains Dodge and Mobility: Unless you're planning to go all the way with the Spring Attack + Whirlwind branch, these feats are essentially useless, particularly since the class also demands tumble, which means you.HAVE. tumble.

Dmg 3.5 Useful For 5e Students

1. The 5e DMG is a great tool to see the implication of the 5e system in various forms, and has some great example and pre made items/monsters. The 4e DMG is great but not for running a 5e game as the mechanic differences will show and cause a lot of reworking/homebrew.
2. Nov 02, 2015  Any item that’s not in the Dungeon Master’s Guide, or in multiple sources, will be annotated as such in the item description. Otherwise, you can assume all items are in the DMG. This guide will use the following color coding system: Gold – A rare rating. The best option out there hands down. This is mandatory to call yourself optimized.

powder firearms take a full round action (leaving 5ft worth of motion) per a barrel loaded that allows for an attack of opportunity. They are all exotic weapons and if untrained require a DC5 skill check(use balckpowder or explosive etc) to reload and to fire if failed the gun does not function and must be reloaded to fire again as well as dealing half the damage of the shot to the user (taking a further round)rapid reload feat allows two barrels to be reloaded as a full round action or 1 barrel as a standard action (cannot fire in the same round)when firing (with training) a critical failure (nat 1) results in 1d12 damage to the user (and if DM is cruel the firing mechanism or the barrel is damaged) you could use a the skill to negate all or some damage, At DM consent.To a medium creature a small gun is a pistol (and so one handed) and a large is a very light cannon not suitable for use. The same is said for large or small creature one weapon size smaller is a pistol. Huge guns are equivalent to a small cannon found on a ship during the renaissance but may be carried by giants who have decided they like them and have picked them up.Any feats taken for bows or crossbows may be taken for rifles as well as enchantments may be placed on the guns.as this is a fantasy world and you can put things of alchemical nature in the powder or fire things other than lead balls hear are some other versions of ammunition I have thought up and costs ( all above are standard ammunition (you may wish to increase cost for large/huge firearm)

Gunpowder: while gunpowder burns (1 ounce consumes itself in 1 round and iluminates like a sunrod) or even explodes inn the right conditions. It is chefly used to propel a bullet out of a pistol or rifle or used to make bombs. An ounce of gunpowder is needed to propel a bullet. Gunpowder is sold in kegs of 20 pounds (250gp) or in a horn (2 pounds for 35 gold). If gunpowder gets wet it must be allowed to dry to be used to fire a bullet.Bullets are large round lead balls that are sold in bags of 10 for 3gp

dragon breath rounds are designed from a young red dragons breath weapon and includes the cost of powder. Each shot can have the effect of other dragons breath weapons and to craft required the draconis fundamentum of said type of dragon. (Dm decides craft DC im to lazy to make this number up)“No matter what form its breath weapon takes, a dragongenerates it from deep inside its lungs, using energy generatedfrom an organ near its heart called the draconisfundamentum” Dragonomicon P21

Sugstions for DMs:

Dmg 3.5 Useful For 5e Students

I suggest introducing the weapon with just 1 or two individuals alone fiering at the party so that they can see the effect of the gun and not be outnumbered as the reload is so long they are likely to get one shot off each befoe being engaged in melee and dying. After this use them as backup to larger forces or in ranked fire (as in historic war) or from hard to reach snipers nests I also suggest allowing scopes to be available to buy or craft such as given in the arms and equipment guide. These weapons could be combined with others (dwarven axe rifle anyone) understanding the increased cost in making more durable mechanisms involved ( riffle cost + 3x weapon cost)adding bayonets should only be as expensive as attaching a standard dagger making a short spear in effect (encourage throwing your 502gp spear) also I tend to use double barrel or pepper box designes so that multiple shots can be taken before character is defenceless or to give characters multiple pistols (AC black flag style) that get reloaded after an encounter.
