Expanded Weapons List

Post by TenMihara » Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:15 pm

While 'improved', is a subjective term, through my work as GM of group 7 I have vastly expanded upon the available weapons for the PnP game, as well as added more detailed sections for munitions, ammunition, weapon mods, unconventional weapons, unarmed and melee weapons, armour and clothing. While I am not saying my list is perfect, I have put a lot of effort into it.

Now that it has reached this stage, I feel comfortable sharing it with other GMs who may wish to expand their in-game weapon lists. This is merely an invitation, and also an opportunity for other GMs to see my work, and provide input if they feel some weapons are unbalanced or otherwise have a need to be tweaked. Any constructive input would be greatly appreciated. This document also includes a more diverse price and value structure for weapons and ammunition alike, as well as details about strength requirements, weight and other added effects particular weapons may have.

Credit Where due: Original Document was designed by Eridani and enhanced by Strobe for Firearms, Magical Energy Weapons and Explosive Ordinance.
Additional Credit to RainbowYoshi, ErrantIndy, Fridge and SilentBrony for providing ideas and pointing out missing weapons to me.
Additional Additional Credit to Silverlight and PnP Group Octagon for suggestions and corrections.

Octagon Group has decided to use some of these stats instead of the originals. That said, we're taking this doc as guidelines rather than absolute rules, because there are a few things we thought were unbalanced and/or ridiculous (I'd point them out, but I don't remember them off the top of my head and I need to get to bed soon). :P

Would you be willing to bring the ones you think need tweaking to my attention? I'm well aware that there's always room for improving balance.

I feel compelled to remind that Eridani came up with most of the original, including format and a large amount of the original selection.
