The 5e Dungeon Master’s Guide gave us some sample firearms in the back to help us the same way the original AD&D DMG had rules for crossing over with Boot Hill. I have noticed that among the modern settings they all vary widely with how much damage they think a typical firearm does. Type: Firearms Ranged Weapon Cost: 250 gp Weight: 3 lbs. It’s up to you to decide whether a character has proficiency with a firearm. Characters in most D&D worlds wouldn’t have such proficiency. During their downtime, characters can use the training rules in the Player’s Handbook to acquire proficiency, assuming that they have.

This list of homebrew content includes modern weapons made on D&D Wiki for 5e. 'Modern weapons' wouldn't be possible before the early 1900s of the real world, up to weaponry that would be possible in modern reality. This section could include automatic weapons, nuclear devices, electricity, and computerized weaponry, among other possibilities. Simple firearms like muskets might be considered renaissance weapons instead, while weapons incorporating more advanced technology would be instead categorized as futuristic.

This list excludes magic weapons and any pages with maintenance templates.

The weapons herein are so far beyond the technology of a typical D&D campaign that costs are not shown. These weapons should usually be treated as rare and priceless as magic items, but in specific campaigns these items may be considered 'mundane' and have relevant costs listed. Common weapons are equal to or weaker than the automatic pistol

Fantasy Firearms[edit]

So, picture this. You're playing D&D. The guy next to you has a sword, the gal on your right uses her fists, and the friend of loosely-defined gender who sits across from you wields arcane magic of destructive potential. You? You've got a gun. Now, if you're playing in a fantasy setting... hey, maybe guns don't fit the tone. But, in a world with enchanted weaponry, undead, and whatever the heck Flumphs are, it's not unreasonable to say some gnome or dwarf had the idea of making fantasy-gunpowder from dragon bone or fairy dust or something. So even in the most Tolkien-esque settings, there may be a place for it.

That said, the DMG does give rules for weaponry for renaissance, modern, and futuristic settings. Unfortunately, said weapons are not balanced for the traditional high-fantasy settings most are used to. So, this page will categorize, instead, firearms (or firearm-adjacent creations) that could conceivably fit in your run-of-the-mill D&D campaign.

The Reload (X) Property[edit]

Currently, there's three types of vanilla D&D ranged weapons: Bows, Crossbows, and Thrown Weapons. Bows are two-handed weapons, with no restrictions to how often you can fire them. Crossbows have the loading property, preventing the user from firing them more than once per round (or requiring them to take the Crossbow Mastery feat), but many have more damage or are one-handed to compensate. Thrown weapons are just disposable melee weapons.

To differentiate firearms from these types of weapons, they can receive a 'Reload' property. Weapons with the reload property can hold a certain amount of ammo, e.g. a Revolver with 6 rounds. So, unlike crossbows, firearms can be fired more than once per round. However, when they run out of rounds, the weapon cannot be fired again until you use an action to reload it. Then, just like crossbows, they can come in one-handed or two-handed varieties. A firearm user does not need to invest in a feat to take advantage of any extra attack class features they get, over a crossbow user, but then has to deal with needing to spend a turn in 'down-time' every now and then. A weapon with a Reload(2) or even a Reload(1) property would be really rough!

Categorized List[edit]

Feel free to put the [[Category:Fantasy Firearms]] onto any firearm page that meets the following criteria:
1) It uses the Reload property
2) It is balanced alongside other vanilla D&D weapons, as opposed to the anachronistic weapons listed in the DMG or on this site.
3) The fluff for the page works for a fantasy setting, even if it uses copious amounts of Magitek. (If magic can create a wall of pure force or cross dimensions, it can also create an enchanted weapon that can accelerate a metal slug at relativistic speeds...)
