GunslingerWaking up to a goblin ambush, a human reaches forthe pistol she always keeps at her side. She leaps to herfeet and begins to fire, blasting the nearest goblin awaybefore he can strike.A gnome sighs to himself in satisfaction as he puts thefinal screw into his masterpiece: a massive rifle, almosttwice as tall as he is. He loads it and tests it out on anearby tree. The ensuing blast knocks the gnome off ofhis feet. He stumbles upright, grinning as he sees thetree topple over from the hit.Gunslingers are masters of the firearm, using them todevastating effect on the battlefield. A gunslinger uses asteady trigger finger and technical skill to provide coverfire for her companions and cripples opponents withdeadly special shots.Creating a GunslingerGunslingers thrive on the outskirts of civilization, bothfamous and infamous in the more free-spirited areasof the world. Talk with your DM about an appropriateorigin for your Gunslinger. Do you live in a city, whereyour weapons are possibly outlawed? Or, perhaps, youcome from the frontier, where your kind are commonand the laws, less so.How did you acquire your first gun? Did your fervor forinvention lead you to create something more powerfulthan you know? Did a demon trade this knowledge forthe promise of a favor? Maybe you killed a vengeful foeand took your gun off his dead body.Quick BuildYou can make a gunslinger quickly by following thesesuggestions. First, put your highest ability scorein Dexterity, followed by Intelligence or Wisdom,depending on the Trail you intend to take at 3rd level.Second, choose the outlander background.Classes GunslingerPDF compiled, edited and designed to resemble the official Player’s Handbook by /u/Barkalot1
