what counts as "firearms"?
« on: December 19, 2015, 06:20:25 pm »
What counts as a firearm for the purposes of the Gunslinger and Gun Nut feats? Does it mean regular ballistic guns only, not energy weapons/chemical pistols? Or do energy weapons also count as firearms?

I'd assume anything that uses the firearms skill?

Well, the skill is called "Guns," and the Gunslinger feat in particular notes it "Reduces AP required to fire *pistols*" but "only applies to *firearms*," so I'm assuming there are some pistols which do not count as firearms?

Alas, the dream of firing a plasma pistol twice a turn is so far away.  :'( Thanks, though!
