Title: Flame throwers for 5e
Post by: Automaton on <12-12-13/1541:37>
Since apparently they are not there in 5e (so far) Anyone converted 4e flamethrower rules to 5e?

I was thinking about basically using shotgun flechette rules for their range and spread.

Something like this: acc:4 damage 8p, AP-6, mode FA,RC.
Using an exotic weapon skill, and ammo of 10 or 20 depending on whether it's an in stock fuel drum or a belt or back carried one. And no Recoil.
Ofcourse it would set everything aflame that gets damaged by it per the fire rules.

What do you think?

Instead of using shotgun spread rules, maybe adapt the suppressive fire? Instead of a cone of bullets that damages everything in it unless it hits the dust, it's a cone of fire!

all I can think of for some reason is this:


"Where do you put the bayonet?" ~Chesty Puller upon seeing a flamethrower for the first time

Gun Heaven 3 has one, so I hear, has anyone here read it to see if there are SR5 rules for it in the book?

If you look at the preview of Gun Heaven 3, that already gives the Flamethrower rules, simply not the actual stats with range.

I tell this story, and the folks will start looking for something far more substantial than my cane to beat me with.

They will use BULL to beat me!  They will find someone to pick up Bull, and beat me with him until I am very, very hurt!

I know you lot want to see me crippled to write more, but I can't do that if I'm in a full-body cast and have had my face destroyed to the point I can't dictate!

I don't want you crippled. You're not a fly, sugar works better with you.

I wouldn't mind him crippled if it made writing faster. Dragon speech to text software (http://www.nuance.com/dragon/index.htm) is all I'm saying.
