So does the Bolt Ace Gunslinger Archetype really get a free firearm, exotic proficiency feat, and gunsmithing on an archetype built solely to use crossbows?

Shouldn't you lose Gunsmithing, and the Exotic Firearm Feat in order to maybe pick feats from a list, like Point Blank Shot, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Some crossbow), and Rapid Reload to replace those and make the character a little more focused?


We won't know until the errata come out and/or the FAQ is updated for it.

I don't see a problem with it because you are most likely playing Bolt Ace because your dm don't want you to use guns anyway.

There's no reason to have to pick an exotic crossbow proficiency; the 'slinger gets proficiencies with all firearms, after all. Just give them straight proficiencies for all crossbows. I'd also say that, ideally, the battered firearm can be replaced with a battered repeater, or masterwork variety of the standard crossbow.

But I seriously hope they update this soon; the alt looks like it would be a hoot in PFS play and at the moment that's simply not in the cards.
