House Rules for WHFRP Blackpowder Firearms

For those firearms with the Reload quality:

  • You may not reload if you are engaged.
  • Reloading takes two maneuvers, or one maneuver if the user is Trained.
  • Two challenge dice are added for a "hasty reload" if these maneuvers are not taken, instead of one. This is reduced to one extra challenge die if the user has a Specialization in the type of firearm.

Players may draw an extra pistol (for example, from a matched pair or a brace of pistols) with one maneuver.

The default state is to drop an unloaded firearm as a player draws another weapon. Anything else requires an explicit extra maneuver.
