Ok. Här är första konceptet som jag kände för att lägga upp här för att kommenteras om någon uppskattar eller hatar det eller bara har förslag på utökandet av detta tema. Min text är på Engelska, förhoppningsvis kan ni leva med det. Det speltekniska är till Myths men borde inte störa särskilt mycket.

THE CURSESLINGER
The curseslinger started out as a local phenomenon. It is born in the mix between the cursing shadow witches of Unpanta and the martial tradition of the Golden Empire and the Alboerians. The first curse slinger was a Lampaquian rogue by the name of Lilianne. She realized that the old method of burning curse paper by hand and pointing was way too slow and likely to hit the wrong target. Thus she came up with the process of burning the curse paper much faster and aiming it at her enemies at the same time. The Curseburner was invented and with it a new profession. It was also a big win for the underground shadow witches who used to be hunted but were all of a sudden in control of the means to create something that many found very appealing. As the phenomenon grew more common the prices got lower and eventually the Curseslinger was not even just a local thing and the Unpata were not the only ones that knew the process of making Witches paper. It is now so common an occurrence that there are those all the way in Alboeria that curse in the name of the five Sisters of Shadow. The Curseslinger is a violent character living off her considerable skill with her burners and her reputation as a badass.

SHADOW WITCH ARTIFACTS
CURSEBURNERS
These gun shaped things with wooden or ivory handles and brass and iron barrels are used to burn curse paper. These curses are aimed at whoever the burner is pointed at. There is a flint and steel mechanism that creates a spark that burns the paper whenever the trigger is pushed, burning one of the curse papers within its chamber and releasing the curse. There are several different kinds of ammunition, all of it based on curse paper wrapped around something highly flammable that burns the paper at once when the trigger is pulled. There are many different kinds of ammunition though just a few are commonly available.

The Shadow Matter Curse
This curse infuses the target with shadowy matter that makes her slide in and out of the shadowplane tearing at her body. Normally it damages those that get hit by it. It does 1D8+(the shooters) CHA damage.
Price: 1 s for 10

The Black Eye Curse
The targets eyes turn black with this horrible shadow curse. This curse makes the target blind for one round and keeps her blind until she makes a Notice save.
Price: 1 s for 5

The Stricken Curse
The unnatural energies go to the heart and nervous system of the target and she is unable to move because of it. The curse makes the target stunned for one round and keeps her thus until she makes a Resist save.
Price: 1 s for 5

The Witches Paper
This is a paper where a curse of some sort can be scribbled onto it that are released when it is burned. The effects are rather short term and turning it into actual curse bullets requires some knowledge of how a Curseburner works, rolling up the paper and getting the right amount of flammable substances into it. This paper can also be rolled into cigarettes and smoked. Usually with a curse of pleasure and confusion scribbled onto it. This is used as a form of narcotic by bored Curseslingers. It burns with a black smoke that creates different images while rising into the air.
Price: 1 s for 5

The Silver Paper
There is witches paper that has silver woven into it. This is used for injuring the supernatural and also to curse someone more permanently. It is quite expensive and missing with a Silver Curse is financially painful. Usually these are never sold as finished bullets as the specific curse is normally specified by the Curseslinger.
Price: 2 £

Det här är riktigt coolt :gremsmile: Mekaniken för hur det här fungerar ser riktigt effektiv och lätt ut att använda också, magiska pistoler är alltid trevligt.

Kände att det var tillräckligt unikt för att vara värt att lägga upp. Samtidigt är det ju bara en ursäkt för att ha gunslingers i fantasymiljö. :gremsmile:
