The Artillerist (first draft) [Dungeon World Class]

I like guns in my fantasy settings. I just do. I'm also a fan of flying boats and crazy dwarf/gnome clockwork devices. There are steam trains in the lower tunnels of my dwarven kingdoms. Anyway, I decided I wanted to add some gunslinging to my Dungeon World game. The Artillerist is a combination of the Hunter from World of Warcraft, a fantasy alchemist, and any given Clint Eastwood character.

This is just a first draft. I'm not 100% solid on some of the advanced moves. I'll repost this in the Dungeon World forums and Google Plus communities. Feedback is more than welcome!

Also on Google Docs!


UPDATE: I've changed some things in the Google Doc after getting some great feedback. The Doc is up-to-date. The text bellow is not.

Artillerist

You gonna skin them smoke wagons or whistle Dixie?

Smoke and fire. Thunder and metal. Lightning and chemicals. You are the next step in the slayer's art. Let the others keep their swords and bows. Your weapon cracks the sky and rains molten lead upon your foes. Wherever you're going, Hell's coming with you.

Can it be mere coincidence that gunpowder smells like brimstone?
