Gunslingers are ranged fighters who wield alchemical implements called "guns" and "pistols" and "rifles" to hurl projectiles at their foes (although there are some who use one or two crossbows). Their weapons do great damage at long range as well as close-quarters, but come to a disadvantage when it comes time to reload, given their early and experimental nature. Some Gunslingers take the time to make alchemical bullets, with special abilities, such as fire or acid. Gunslingers prefer to slide around the battlefield, keeping their enemies at a distance.
-Playing a Gunslinger:
Gunslingers have no reservations about murder, but also don't generally go about seeking it. Gunslingers take great pride in their weapons, often giving them names. Many are overconfident, sometimes even snarky. This, however, often helps, as their bravado works to their advantage. Gunslingers have been around the block a few times (or at least want you to think they have).

Class Features

SNIPER STYLE
Snipers like to lay in wait, preferring to hide behind cover and shoot from a distance. Gunslingers who take the Sniper Style prefer rifles, because they have more power and accuracy than handguns. Many Sniper abilities allow Gunslingers to add their Wisdom to their Dexterity modifier when aiming.

TWO-GUN STYLE
Two-Gun Style gunslingers prefer handguns to rifles because of their higher rate of fire, and ease of mobility. They sacrifice accuracy for quantity, and pepper their shots with bravado and show. Two-Gunners typically get a second chance with their attacks, using their second guns to even the odds. Their Charisma adds to the damage of some of their attacks.
