Considering the size of a shotgun shell, you should be able to pack a lot
of stuff in there instead of some boring pellets. Some suggestions:
Flare rounds: some kind of bright & fast-burning mag-compund
chemical ignited at firing, visible for miles, if used as a weapon would
tend to set things on fire.
Incendiary rounds: spray your target with WP or Napalm-4, and he'd
be hating life.
Smoke or Gas rounds: More than enough space in a shell for a
smokescreen for cover, or a little nerve toxin...
Liquid rounds: a plastic shell filled with DMSO/Hyper or whatever
that shatters and splashes on impact.
Fletchette rounds: a shell filled w/ needles instead of pellets.
etc.

If anyone has any idea what game stats would be for these, I'm open to
suggestions. Our combat mage would love to hear 'em.
