>game is a pirate campaing >it looks like its the 17th to 19th century>no gunpowder cuz its set in forgotten realms>"YARR LOAD THE FOKIN BALISTA"this shit so retarded
>>no gunpowder cuz its set in forgotten realmsForgotten realms has gunpowder. They call it smokepowder and it's primarily made by gnomes/
>>96581509>gatekeept by midget race and retarded "gods" nah I avoid fr shit
>>96581453Play a real pirate game, then. Nobody's stopping you.
>game is a pirate campaign >it looks like gundam or armored core>use fancier weapons than the enemy, feels like shitting on a bunch of battletechs in a mfkin zone of the enders thoth mech>game is known for hyper liberalized dystopia , pirate crew rebels against the default against the setting>God notices us
>>96581453
>>96581453>forgotten realms
>>96581453Then play something else.
Wow, it's like a bunch of clueless teens playing a sea game without knowing anything about naval warfare..Pirates existed long before Black Beard and the like. Fuck Ballista and cannons, either ram them, or get alongside and stab the fuckers like real pirates did in medieval and earlier times. Or, iff you absolutely need some explosive firepower in your megical setting, hire a sodding wizard to throw some fireballs.
>>96581453>uses material he didn't write himself>refuses to add anything he likes to the material or remove anything he dislikes from the material>bitches about it online>"WAHH THIS THING THAT CAN EASILY BE MODIFIED OR CANNIBALIZED DOESN'T HAVE WHAT I WANT"You're damn right "this shit so retarded".And this isn't even a defense of written material; it's an endorsement since you're expected to do what you want anyway, you don't need the products in the first place.
>>96581628Mmm, Lancer.
>>96581453Have you tried playing Warhammer Fantasy, where the tech level is 1650s and cannon-armed ships exist? You can even have muskets and pistols!
>>96589750yuh
>>96581453Have you tried not playing forgotten realms.
>>96581700It took me way too long to figure this out because I thought it was an actual shot from the show.
>>96582659tbf I feel like fireballs would totally negate sea combat for a while, depending on factors. It'd be mutually assured destruction. A combat ship with anyone who could fling accurate fire fighting another would be like launching napalm broadsides while sitting in grass houses. On the ocean.
>>96592395it can't be that hard to slap on some fireproof armor
>>96581700
>>96592395It's easy to misdirect magic with more magic - invisibility, walls of fog, illusions of other ships, globes of invulnability, walls of force, etc. You can also have the party try to sneak onboard to assassinate or charm enemy spellcasters, or stay out of range of the fireball spell send swarms of gribblies/undead/elementals/demons underwater to attack the enemy ship's hull before a battle starts,
>>96592395>tbf I feel like fireballs would totally negate sea combat for a whileYou're mostly right on that front.
>>96593126It took centuries to develop ironclads.
>>96596632that armor was for cannons, not temperature
