I'm trying to make a scary Gunslinger for my players to fight.
Ifrits are kinda busted wide open for a Myseterious Stranger, since Wildfire Heart gives a +4 to Initiative, and Reactionary gives +2
Add on top of that its +1/2 Bonus with Gunslinger's Initiative, and you're looking at a freakishly-fast little bugger already.
But, there's more.
Dagger-Pistols count as melee weapons, yet are Firearms. That means that a lv3 Gunslinger can draw a firearm as part of the initiative.
And since it's a Melee weapon, it can have Dueling placed on it for 14,000gp.
So here's my question:
Would it be fare, when Initiative is rolled, to have the Ifrit draw the Dagger Pistol just to gain that additional +4 in total, or does Dueling mean it has to be in the hand BEFORE Initiative is triggered?
(He actually uses Double-Barreled Pistols, but with Quick Draw & Gun Twirling, he immediately switches out the Dagger-Pistol with his two primary weapons)
