The Ability and Proficiency System

This page involves the Abilities and Proficiency system, which is a core part of how Combat Roleplay and "Competitive" Roleplay works on Massivecraft.

Firearms Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Its Packs allow a Character to use firearms and gun-like weapons, such as blunderbusses, old timey revolvers, etc, and get ranged weapon-related Techniques. Any learned Technique can be used on any weapon a Character knows how to use. Firearms Point Buy is focused on explosive effects, damage, and striking enemies from afar.

Firearms Combat

Firearm Weapons can be used to attack people without their attached Abilities. Firearm Attack Emotes use Dexterity Proficiency as Main Combat Stat (for dice rolling). Some form of ranged gun-like weapon, such as a pistol, or blunderbuss, is required to make ranged attack emotes. The user cannot wield a shield at the same time. These attacks have a range of Emote Range, and the user can load and fire within one emote, but if they try to fire at someone within 5 blocks of them, their Main Combat Stat is reduced by 4. Only one of these Point Buy packs are required for this, and if a character has no Dexterity, they are considered incapable of using archery based combat effectively. This is the default Main Combat Stat for Firearm Weapon Characters, and can be combined with abilities that change Main Defense Stat, but without them, Constitution is used.
