Weapon Rules
Firearms Quality
Quoted verbatim from the Old World Armoury.
All gunpowder weapons presented in the chapter are of Common Craftsmanship. For weapons of better or worse construction, use the following modifi ers, unless otherwise mentioned in the weapons description.
Best: These firearms are the very best available in the Old World. Constructed by Dwarf craftsmen or by Nuln engineers, these weapons are worth every coin. Gunpowder weapons with the Unreliable quality of this level of Craftsmanship are no longer Unreliable. Experimental gunpowder weapons gain the Unreliable quality instead. For example, a repeater pistol loses the Experimental quality and gains Unreliable instead, while a blunderbuss loses the Unreliable quality altogether.
Like other weapons in the Old World, these weapons often integrate artistry into their manufacture, with stylized stocks and barrels, well-constructed firing mechanisms, and other extra details to make the weapon a piece of beauty.
Good: Th is high-quality weapon has good balance and reliability. It is less cumbersome than a standard weapon reducing the overall Encumbrance of the weapon by 10% (to a minimum of 1). Ammunition of Good Craftsmanship confers no benefits.
Poor: Black powder weapons of Poor Craftsmanship are very dangerous to use. A gunpowder weapon with the Unreliable quality becomes Experimental instead. An Experimental gunpowder weapon jams on 80-90% and explodes on a 91- 00%.
Weapon Descriptions
Cudgel
The stout wooden cudgel is commonly used by footpads to beat their victims unconscious, as well as for self defense by those too poor to own proper weapons. Good or exceptional quality cudgel can take the form of sturdy walking sticks or canes, and can be seen in the hands of burghers or nobles who have few compunctions against using them against the socially inferior.
