Device for projecting a powder?
« on: June 16, 2011, 04:33:32 pm »

Okay, so I'm absolutely useless at RAW editing. I don't even know where to start, but before I do, I was wondering if it was possible to create a weapon or device that instead of shooting ammunition, it shoots some kind of dustcloud. I wanted to implement something like the firewands from the TTRPG Exalted, for anyone familiar with that. They're basically single shot flamethrowers, using flamable dust as ammunition.

Like I said, my RAW editing skills are fairly non-existent, so I don't even know if such a thing is feasible and I was hoping to get some pointers.

Sadly, no. The [RANGED: tag requires the use of an AMMO item token. If you could replace AMMO with a POWDER_MISC, however, it would be possible.
At the moment, I don't think that it's at all possible to make magic wands like that.

EDIT: Actually, you could try to use POWDER_MISC:<specific powder token> in place of AMMO, if you wanted. If it works, please let me know :D
