## Gunslinger
An elf lays the barrel of her rifle atop a rock, peering through the bushes and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike a distant target. When her mark is clearly in sight, she pulls the trigger, taking his head with a single shot and making her escape.

A dwarf clad in dark leathers pulls a revolver from his hip, unloading a shot into the bandit approaching him. Three others begin to charge at the dwarf, and with lightning reflexes, he fells them all before they have the opportunity to close the distance.

A scarred goliath points his shotgun towards a group of merchants, demanding the surrender of their goods. When one of the merchants charges the goliath, he pulls a dagger from his belt, gutting the hero.

Gunslingers make use of quick reflexes and overwhelming firepower to get the upper hand in combat situations. Out of combat gunslingers make excellent scouts and lookouts.

### Cutting Edge Weaponry
Gunslingers are skilled at using new and unique technology. They have an intimate understanding of their weaponry and are quick to adapt in changing situations. Their dexterous nature and long ranged firepower allow them to stay on the outskirts of battle while still dishing out devastating damage. Even when in unfavourable situations, a gunslinger always has an extra trick up their sleeve.

### Varied Beginnings
Gunslingers come from a variety of backgrounds and employ themselves in numerous professions. A gunslinger can be anything from a common bandit to a soldier, or even an intellectual tinkerer. Depending on the technology of the world, gunslingers may be as common as fighters or as rare as dragons themselves. Whatever their background, one thing all gunslingers have in common is their grit in battle and unparalleled finesse with firearms.

### Creating a Gunslinger
When creating a gunslinger, be sure to consider the setting of your campaign. Are firearms common or rare? Is your character perhaps the first to wield firearms in your setting? Does your character have enemies or rivals who covert their (potentially) rare and powerful technology? Are you from a far off land where firearms are much more common, or perhaps from a different plane entirely? Who taught your character to use firearms? And what is your character's relationship with that person like? Consider how these factors may influence the way in which your character interacts with the other player characters, npcs, and the world around them.

#### Quick Build
You can make a gunslinger quickly by following these suggestions, First, Dexterity should be your highest ability score, followed by Intelligence. Second, choose the faction agent background.

***Spells Known of 1st-level and Higher.*** You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice.

The Spells Known column of the Mystic Gunner Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st-level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd-level.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

***Spellcasting Ability.*** Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization. you use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you can use your Intelligence modifier when setting the savint throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

#### Elementally Imbued Firearm
When you choose this specialization at 3rd level, your understanding of magic and mysticism allow you to imbue a particular firearm with magic properties. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can choose one firearm. When you deal damage with that firearm, you can choose to inflict acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, or thunder damage instead of the weapon's normal damage type. Attacks made with this weapon are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. Additionally, the firearm you chose can be used as a spellcasting focus when casting wizard spells. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest.

Furthermore, as a bonus action, you may expend 1 Grit Point to learn the damage immunities, damage resistances, and damage vulnerabilities of a creature you can see.

#### Spectral Reload
Starting at 6th level, you learn to summon a spectral hand to aid you. You learn the Mage Hand cantrip. If you already know the Mage Hand cantrip, you may choose another cantrip to learn from the wizard spell list. Whenever you cast a spell or cantrip, you may briefly summon a spectral hand to reload one of your weapons, allowing you to take the Reload action or bonus action as a free action.

#### Iron Wizardry
Starting at 11th level, when making a ranged weapon attack, may expend 1 Grit Point to use a bonus action to cast a cantrip that would normally cost an action to cast.

#### Arcane Barrage
Whenever you cast a spell using your action, you summon a number of spectral firearms equal to the level of the spell cast. You may make a ranged spell attack against a creature within 120 feet of you for each spectral firearm summoned, using your Intelligence modifier for the attack and damage rolls. The damage is equal to 1 roll of your Grit Die *plus* your Intelligence modifier.

### Specialization: Operator
Gunslingers who choose this specialization combine lightning reflexes and careful aiming to act as masters of ranged combat.

#### Akimbo Expert
When you choose this specialization at the 3rd level, you become an expert at fighting with one firearm in each hand. You gain the Akimbo Shooting Style. If you already have the Akimbo Shooting Style, you may choose a different Shooting Style.

Starting at 6th level, you learn how to efficiently distribute shots amongst your enemies. Whenever you make an attack roll against two or more *different* creatures on the your turn, you may add 1 roll of your Grit Die to the damage of each attack after the first. When you make two or more attack rolls against the *same* creature on your turn, you may add 1 roll of your Grit Die to the attack roll of each attack after the first.

#### Trigger Discipline
Starting at 11th level, when in combat, you may use an action to cast the Haste spell on yourself without material components. When the Haste spell is completed, you do not suffer the negative effects of Haste as you normally would when using the Haste spell.

### Specialization: Tactician
Gunslingers who choose the Tactician Specialization are experts at supporting their allies from a distance. They favor bolstering the abilities of others over improving their own firepower. They make excellent leaders and often come from military backgrounds.

#### War Stories
When you choose this specialization at 3rd level, you learn to inspire your allies through tales of past glory. When taking a short or long rest, you may share an inspiring tale of an event from your past. After listening to your story, you and up to 6 other creatures gain one of the following benefits of your choice for the next 8 hours:
* A number of temporary hit points equal to 1 roll of your Grit Die + your Intelligence modifier.

The commanded creature chooses which weapon they use in the attack or which cantrip they cast, if they choose to attack or cast at all.

#### Planned Attack

* Set up a 10 foot long tripwire. Creatures who hit the tripwire must make a dexterity saving throw against your Grit Save DC or are knocked prone.

#### Organized Assault
By 11th level, you are an expert at correctly directing the firepower of your allies. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you mark that creature until the start of your next turn. The next attack made or cantrip cast against the marked target by a creature other than yourself adds 1 roll of your Grit Die to the attack or damage roll (your choice). This effect does not stack on the same target but may be active on multiple targets at the same time. The mark is consumed the first time a creature makes an attack or casts a cantrip against the marked target.

\columnbreak

#### Tactical Genius
Starting at 17th level, you learn to assess the battlefield and issue commands at immense speed. Once per turn, you may expend 3 Grit Points to use your Co-ordinated Firepower feature as a free action.

If the allied creature you choose must make an attack roll, they do so with advantage. If the enemy creature your ally targets must make a saving throw, they do so with disadvantage. These benefits apply when using Co-ordinated Firepower normally as well.

There are two unique properties to firearms as seen in the table above.

**Reload.** A weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Reload score before you must spend 1 action or 1 bonus action to reload the weapon.

**Explosive.** Upon a hit, everything within 5 ft of the target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your Grit Save DC or suffer 1d8 fire damage. If the weapon misses, the ammunition fails to detonate, or bounces away harmlessly before doing so.
