D&D (2024) Firearms to be made a fixed part of the game, new Weapons Rules

[Emberashh]

Weapons meanwhile have a new "Mastery" mechanic. Each weapon has a specific tag that lets it do some special thing, and the Fighter's going to be able to use two "Mastery" features at once on their weapon.

One example is "Graze" mastery, which causes the weapon to do a minimum of damage even on a miss.

Bought time, IMHO.

Oh this is awesome, I like differentiating Weapons and Mastery sounds fun

 

[Horwath]

all crossbows and firearms should be simple weapons.

I'm point out that the Gods of the Forgotten Relms actually stop gun power from working on Faerun, which is why the semi magical and less reliable Smoke Powder is used instead.

The next Realms Shaking Event will rescind this.

Given that each weapon has only 1 mastery listed, how is a fighter going to use two on a weapon? like does the fighter get one they can use on any weapon?

It's probably two masteries per turn, as a bonus for fighters. Everyone else will presumably have to pick a single mastery effect per turn. So dual-wielding rogues and rangers won't quite as good at using weapons as a fighter is.

Basically. They can apply a secondary Mastery to a weapon and then choose which gets applied when they attack.

They're basically spells.

Wondering what flex does for the warhammer?
