Would you allow a player to use a cannon like a gun?

Yes, once.

If their character's strength is that ridiculously high, then sure.

If it's a man-portable weapon that shoots 20mm Hispano without the capability of burst/automatic fire mode, then yes.

>tfw making a character for an Iron Kingdoms game and the GM decided to ban the use of Ogrun Battle Cannon's after I've already made my Ogrun Soldier/Pirate.

Not as a basic weapon, but a strong character could probably carry a small cannon in both hands.

>>51773210
Only if the accuracy or the damage is near zero or replace an existing weapon and I get to make up hilarious bullshit about how the character mishandling resulted in friendly fire.
Otherwise, I will tell the power gamer to fuck off with this garbage and come up with a less bullshit character idea.

Are they playing a Leadbelcher?

>>51773210
Make it so it has a long reload time to balance the big damage, I did that in my campaign and don't even feel regret about it

>>51773210
Yes, since I run pathfinder and I'd just re-fluff the man-cannon as the double hackbut to not have the set-up tripod but a longer re-load time and splash or spread depending on ammo

>>51773210
"With these power frames, we're the perfect weapon against shield bearers!"

Definitely, that sounds like it would be really cool and entertaining.

>>51773210
Sure, that sounds fun.

>>51773210
If they're strong enough, they can lift it and handle the recoil.
If they want to use it as a regular weapon, then they have to deal with reloading it and the innacuracy at range and so forth.

If they are strong enough they can wield whatever

>>51773210
Does it fit in the system currently being ran? If so then yes. If something can be handled by the RAW I will always let them present their case.

The real problems usually come from the requesting player not agreeing with the rules. Then they have to make a case to me to consider changes.
