Cantriped

​Fantasy Hero Complete​ has stats for Matchlock and Wheellock firearms, but they aren't very appealing weapons as written. They cause similar amounts of damage to Bows and Crossbows (albeit with a higher STUN Multiplier), but have many more limitations. You could replace the +1 STUN Multiplier with Armor Piercing and otherwise use their statistics as is (the Active/Real costs should be the same if I recall correctly).
 
One thing I did while planning for a heroic campaign that never happened was replacing the concept of using Clips of Charges to represent ammunition with using END Reserves (with no Recovery) to represent Ammunition. This way ammunition always had a point value (albeit it was usually 1 CP). Special ammunition would have bonuses to OCV or Damage linked to the END Reserve which represented that piece of ammunition.
I really liked the idea... because on paper I could do all kinds of neat things with the system mechanically. Such as have a spell that "summoned ammo" (written as an independent Zero END modifier for the weapon), or have special ammunition without the construct being any cludgier than it already was. Since it was for a Heroic campaign, the players didn't have to pay for or see the constructs themselves... so raw efficiency was less important. The system might also work in games using Resource Points... However it was more work for me as the GM since I had to write all those extra stat blocks, and I never got to test it in play so I can't actually be sure if it was worth the effort.

Q: What's the difference between a zombie and an Ulronai?
 
A: One is a shambling putrescent horror that poses a threat to all living things until it is mercifully destroyed, and the other is undead.

I'm not exactly a lurker but...
 
My current Handle was the name of one of my World of Warcraft Characters, a goblin mage. Lately I use it all over the net (including on the paizo forums and Steam). A cantrip is a mischevious or playful act, or a trick; in gaming parlance a cantrip is a weak or minor spell. I misspell it's past-tense on purpose because I like the way it looks as "cantriped" better than "cantripped".
 
The first tabletop RPG I played was a mix of 1st and 2nd edition AD&D, and I was 4 years old when I rolled that character; my mother was the GM at that table.
 
The first tabletop RPG I ran as GM was 3rd edition D&D.
 
I am not currently playing in any games (the last game I played in was a pathfinder campaign). I am currently running a Pathfinder campaign, but I have run a few HERO campaigns as well over the years.
 
The HERO System has been my favorite gaming system for almost a decade now. I currently use the Champions Complete/Fantasy HERO Complete rulesets (which I consider to be as distinct an edition as 5th revised was to 5th). You will most frequently see my name show up in threads regarding rules questions or character building. One of my hobbies is writing up characters and concepts from the shows I watch in HERO system.
