Re: [DL] Revised Rules for Weapons

Markus,
You mean you >aren't< using 2nd ed?  HERETIC!

Seriously, though, yes, the 2nd ed weapon rules are much simpler.  So is 
magic, experience, etc etc.

I still have issues with all shotguns causing the same damage, but I've come 
up with my own fix for that.  (The gauge sizes progress on a ladder (8, 10, 
12, 16, 20, .410), and each step under/above the 12 gauge gains/loses 1d6 
damage per range increment.  Thats right, a .410 at touching range does 3d6, 
and an 8-gauge does 8d6.  Not the best fix in the world, but I like it.)

I also give ever the slightest bonus TH to bolt-action rifles at longer 
ranges, since they offer just a >little< more stable fire.  Altogether the 
bonus is insignificant, but it makes me feel better :)
