Gunslinger - Multiple Deeds


Rules Questions


I am preparing to DM a new game, and have a question about the Gunslingers deeds. I am unsure whether a gunslinger may use multiple deeds on the same attack, barring an obvious conflict in the types of actions used to make the attack. For example, may a Gunslinger using a pistol use Deadeye to target an enemy's touch AC from 40 fee away, and then use Targeting: Legs to knock the enemy prone while still doing damage, without a CMB vs. CMD check or save?

Also, I saw in another thread where Mr. James Jacobs has suggested that the Targeting Deed should require a roll against CMD or a save, depending on where you are targeting. I was wondering if there has been any further clarification, as I could find none in the FAQ for Ultimate Combat. Thanks, and happy gaming.

As long as the Deeds don't use mutually exclusive actions to activate (for example, using two deeds that both require a swift action), and the Gunslinger has enough Grit, you can benefit from multiple Deeds in the same round.

As to the thread, I don't believe any further clarification was given and it sits in the hands of the GM to adjudicate. Changes like the one discussed typically require an Eratta, which are usually only released in conjunction with a new printing of the related book.

Deadeye doesn't state it needs a specific action, so by RAW may be combined with any kind of shot.

As far as the Targeting Shot needing a CMB roll or save, I haven't heard anything, but it still shouldn't affect you being able to use Deadeye with it.


Thanks for the prompt responses. You answers are what I had assumed would be correct, but I wanted to run it by the good folks here. Thanks.
