Gunslinger

Gunslinger: Gunslingers can come in all shapes or sizes. Whether it's the militia to fend off the curse of the beast, avid hunters, or highwaymen, the one thing that makes them stand out is their skilled use of firearms. Gunslingers are generally the most short lived of the pit's residents, as overconfidence in one's weapons can easily lead to their demise, but they're still quite welcome due to their skilled use in shooting down targets from afar.


Gunslingers are daring marksmen that rely on the simple use of firearms to blast away their enemies. They're capable of dishing out heavy damage, and get rewarded heavily for making bold or high-risk maneuvers.

Grit: Gunslingers rely on a special resource called Grit. The Gunslinger can keep up to 5 Grit. Critically striking or killing a target grants the Gunslinger a point of grit. Grit may be expended to drastically increase critical strike range; from +1-5, depending on how much grit is expended. (To a max of 14-20 critical strike range, when spending 5 grit points)

Pistol Whip: If being attacked, the Gunslinger may quickly wack up to one target with their gun to attempt interrupting their attack. The gunslinger gains a grit point if you manage to successfully interrupt the target.

Utility Shot: The Gunslinger may perform several different utility shots with a grit point. Each utility shots can be applied to an attack with their firearm. Utility shot examples are, but aren't limited to:

--Blast Lock: The Gunslinger may shoot a lock to attempt blasting it off. Locks have varying AC based upon the quality of the lock, with your average lock requiring a 10 or higher to blast off. Careful, failing this utility shot against certain locks may potentially risk breaking the lock, but jam the door in the process.

--Scoot an Object: Fire into an object to move it several feet. The object scoots up to 15 feet in the direction that the Gunslinger pleases. However, if the Gunslinger fails the check, they'll potentially damage the object.
