Firearms of Terra Nara

[Lord Kain]

Firearms are a new invention coming into wider use on Terra Nara. Previously the instability of smoke powder, made them a hazard for anything other then explosives. However a hobgoblin alchemist working the the empire invented a new type of smokepowder. This smoke powder was inactive until exposed to an alchemical prepared metal filament. These metal filaments would be built on the inside of cannons and firearms. Until the smoke powder was poured into the gun or cannon it would not explode when exposed to fire.

[Sargon]

i love this system kina, have i told you that?

you know you are a powerful kingdom, when you can shot flameing connon balls at them.

[Lord Kain]

You don't make the cannon balls flaming that be pointless, an extra 1d6 on a direct hit is nothing. You'd do similar things to them that you do when you make a javalin of lighting.
