Thancred's Handicap Solution

If you're concerned about Thancred running out of ammo when he is off doing his sneaky thing, I imagine he just gets his daggers out at that point. Sneaking about is much more rogue-friendly, and there's no reason at all why he can't switch jobs and use his rogue skills in those situations. He just tanks when he's needed as a tank.

He keeps shukuchi or something similar as a GNB (uses it on the Frog boss illussion to bypass it), so its obvious he can still use his repertoire of skills as long as they dont require personal aether to perform.

Why use ammo that could potentially destroy your weapon when you’ve magical friends to keep the ammo coming. I mean we could even do it for him if he needed us to.

I would imagine the scions would band together, to imbue enough cartridges to keep Thancred supplied for a good long time, lets also not forget Thancred always keeps a few tricks up his sleeve.

Don't machinists use an aetherometer to gather aether for their magic bullets?

Their aetheroconverter converts machinists' own aether into bullets, rather than gathering ambient aether. Gunbreakers don't use bullets for their gunblades anyhow, just cartridges.

It seems like gunbreakers just fill cartridges full of aether over time which they then "fire" to make their sword do an effect instead of shoot a bullet. And I don't think GNB players would want to give SE an excuse to give them an ugly lunchbox anyway.
