Cool :-) .
Actually, in the one real (A)D&D campaign that i've played in, my
character, the party's cleric and healer, ended up being one of the more
powerful fighters when i picked up some kind of lightning-shooting gun
from an underground kingdom that was supplying "these strange magical
weapons" to an enemy empire.  :-)
It's my eagle-shaman Shadowrun character who actually does run around
with a flame thrower.
