    Just a quick comment. Am I missing something, or are gunpowder weapons very cheap?

    Haha! Thanks! And sorry for disrupting your education. But hey... Now you can at least build a crossbow worth using! :)

    Most "base design" modifications (i.e.: modifications that completely define how a weapon works) cost 0* cp. Gunpowder weapons aren't particularly good, IME. In fact, by Pathfinder's RAW, they are arguably the worst weapons around.

    Sure you can target touch AC on the first range increment... But unless your whole class is fully devoted to using them, they'll always deal pitiful damage. Not to mention they cost as much as magic weapon, have really short range, take a long time to reload, use absurdly expensive ammo and, just to top it all off, have innate fumble mechanics (that go beyond Nat 1s, BTW).

    They aren't nearly as bad in this homebrew, but they still don't add any modifier to damage unless you belong to an specific class, so I currently don't a reason to make them more costly.

    Hmm... That's a tricky one. We could treat it as a double weapon, with each blade being a different end. However, I remember seeing it being dual-wielded too, so that implies it's a single one-handed or light weapon.

    Hmmm... I think I'd make it an exotic one-handed slashing weapon with the following modifications: Barbed (2 cp), Deadly (0* cp), Finesse (1 cp), Improved Critical Threat Range (3 cp), and Trip (0* cp), so it'd end up like this:

    [1d8 18-20/x2 / S / Melee] [Deadly] [Finesse] [Trip]

    If you prefer to make it a double weapon, I'd make it an exotic light slashing weapon (so that both ends are symmetrical), remove the Finesse modification (unnecessary since it's now a light weapon, anyway) and use the remaining cp to pay for the double modifcation.

    What do you think?

    By "Improved Range", do you mean "Improved Critical Threat Range"? You mention a 19-20 next to it, so I'm not sure if that's the case or if you mean taking multiple stances of the "Improved Range" modification.

    Assuming you meant "Improved Critical Threat Range", I don't any error (maybe the gold cost, though. Honestly, I've never used it before since base weapon prices are pretty much completely irrelevant past 1st level ).

    I must note that the Crank (automatic) can be a bit too powerful, as it allows characters with low Str score to deal good damage (of course, that's kinda of the whole point of having an automated crank, but still, some GMs/players may not like it). As usual, it's up to GMs and their players to decide what modifications are allowed and how common they are.

    Ah yes, I meant critical range. The idea behind the item is a wrist mounted spring to propel a dagger much further and more powerfully than a gnome actually can.

    Oh, my dear grasshopper... All you need is a bit of creativity (and some disregard for the original intent behind certain weapon modifications ). I'm been fooling around with this system for quite a while now. Not only I created it, I also playtested it with multiple groups. So, let me help you add that gun:

    OK, take that build I showed you:

    [1d8 18-20/x2 / S / Melee] [Deadly] [Finesse] [Trip]

    Now, first, let's make it a light weapon! That saves us 1 cp, since we can now remove the [Finesse] modification. Now... With that extra cp, what do we do? Exactly! We buy the Double modification! But instead of using it so that each blade is a different end, we're going to be more creative this time... One weapon end will be the whole bladed thing...

    The other weapon end will be... An exotic light ranged weapon! Let's give it [Improved Range] so to increase its range increment to 60 ft, then add [Elemental Damage] costing 3 cp (because shooting lightning is cool, but recharging isn't). We still have 1 cp left, we could increase its range again, but that's no fun, so let's, say, give it Utility [Major] and give it the ability to use the electricity to light the way ahead as a hooded lantern.

    ...And you can still add two 0* cp modifications of your choice!

    What do you think?


    Now your weapon can be used in melee:

    [1d6 18-20/x2 / S / Melee] [Deadly] [Double] [Trip]

    or from range:

    [1d6 20/x2 / Electricity / 60 ft] [Double] [Utility: provides light as a hooded lantern]

    Hmm... I only have very superficial knowledge of DDO, so I don't know how its rune weapons work. There's a modification that allows you to deal non-magical elemental damage, though. It was meant to allow players to craft flamethrowers, acid flasks, stun batons and such, but nothing stops you from using them to create an elemental weapon. It'll become magical anyway once you add the first +1 enhancement.

    Hey, I used that one as one of my sample weapons! I called it "Hidden Blade of Assassins", though.

    I went to check it out and actually noticed a small mistake on another sampe weapon, the Reverse Katana. Look at that... We aren't even past the 1st page and you guys already helped me improve my homebrew!

    Well, any light weapon can be attached to one of your limbs for 1 cp... And any weapon can deal elemental damage for 2 cp (3 cp if you don't want to have to worry about charges/fuel)

    That means it's possible to make martial and exotic weapons that shoot fire. IIRC, one of my sample weapons is actually a gauntlet with an attached firearm, based on Yang from RWBY. :)

    Mind? MIND?

    My friend... I'd love it!

    The whole point of sharing this stuff is so that other people can enjoy it! Go ahead and download it as a .pdf if you want too! Share with your friends! Have fun! That's why I made and shared it!

    And hey, I'd also love to hear your feedback too. Tell me about your experience so that I can continue to improve this little homebrew project (I still have ideas for it ).

    Alright then! I got an idea for my current game, which is very primitive so there's no metallurgy or anything.

    I want to have an ogre or two using some of these:

    Stone Lash
    Exotic Two Handed Melee Weapon
    Damage: 2d8, 15 foot reach
    Crit: 20x2
    Improved Damage Die (+2), Whip-like (+0), Whip (reinforced) (+1), Tripping (+0), Tangling (+1), Sunder (+1), Performance (+1)
    6CP
    34 GP

    The stone lash is a big rope with large stones tied all along its length, the stones hammer into people and wrap around things with ease, doing horrible damage in the process.

    Heh... That's pretty cool. I don't know if I'd add the Reinforced modification to a whip made mostly of primitive rope, but I like the weapon.

    And remember! A little disregard for the original intent of a certain modification can go a long way to inspire creative new weapon designs!

    I added the reinforced modification because of the large rocks, they'll probably cause some wicked damage.

    I think my next weapon will be some sort of alchemist's fire-spraying hose.

    Cool!

    I'm thinking I might actually hold off on building that one a little bit. I'd really like to see some weapon drawbacks, because honestly I think some of the ranges can get a bit crazy. For instance with my Gnomish Springdagger I'd make it probably have a 30ft range. Also the fragile and misfiring qualities would be fun to incorporate.

    I think adding a Disrupting modification could improve the modification selection. Having weapons which can mess with with a spell caster's ability to cast spells might be something worth looking into.

    My idea for a weapon with this quality is basically a bell/mace combo.

    Inquisitor's Bell
    "For whom does your bell toll for, Inquisitor?" "It tolls for thee, Heathen."

    Ah, yes... The weapon flaw system. I've been putting off doing that one out of fear that it might completely break the system (as do nearly all disadvantages/flaw systems I've seen )

    My current idea is that weapon flaws would give you a separate craft point pool, rather than just adding to the total, that way you can't take a two -1 cp flaws and make a martial falcata 18-20/x3...

    There are 3 or 4 modifications I want to add, then I'll add two special materials I've been thinking about... After that, I'll finally man up and start moving my Weapon Flaw system from the draft document to the main google.doc.

    My idea for a weapon with this quality is basically a bell/mace combo.

    Heh... Add Utility[Minor] (works as bell) (0*cp)

    . I believe you meant the DC for concentration checks, rather than the DC to resist spells. Hmm... This has potential... I'll make a note about it on my draft document and add it once I have the wording down. Thanks for the suggestions (I hope you don't mind me shamelessly stealing your idea )

    I thought about making an "Intimidating" modification for weapons that look particularly vicious to give a +2 bonus to Intimidate, but then I realized that could already be done via Utility[Major], since it specifically mentions that giving the same bonus as a masterwork tool is within its parameters.

    Well don't rush it if you don't wanna. This is a really good system, I like it way more than the pathfinder one and intend to play with it for sure

    This is great! I had been looking for something like it awhile back and couldn't find anything that really did what I wanted. This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

    Some thoughts-

    The Nonlethal modification seems to give the choice of dealing nonlethal damage with no penalty or attacking lethally. Is that intentional? Compare to weapons like the sap which only do nonlethal damage.

    If you add them could there be a flaw that slows the reloading time of ranged weapons? I was building an exotic light cannon because I wanted it to have the Attached modification but I didn't want it to reload as a free action.

    Edit- Would you consider a weapon or part of it being magnetic a Major or Minor Utility modification?

    I... have dreamt of making this kind of system for years...

    I love it :D

    I'm not the creator, but I'd rule that as minor unless the magnetism is strong enough to give a bonus on climb checks on specifically magnetic metal walls or something, in which case I'd make it +3 or 4 instead of 2 (for the really specific material) and I'd make it major.
