Mysteriuos Stranger and Spellscar Drifter


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

So I was looking into using my credit baby to build a Mysterious stranger spellscar rifter and got a question about on of the abilities.

At 3rd level I get the following deed:
Daring Deeds (Ex): At 3rd level, a Spellscar drifter gains Rapid Reload as a bonus feat. The Spellscar drifter must choose a firearm to associate with this feat. Additionally, the Spellscar drifter can select one additional 1st-level gunslinger deed which he can use with his Amateur Gunslinger feat. This ability replaces cavalier’s charge.
Would the later part of this ability even work since I replace the amateur gunslinger with extra grit upon taking the dip in gunslinger.

I don't think so. Since you'd no longer have the feat nor the need for the feat mentioned there is nothing for that part of the ability to accomplish.


I thought about this some time ago and agree with Joe.

Liberty's Edge

I was thinking soemthing along that line, but I wanted to have my suspicion confirmed before i went ahead.


Once you've taken a level of Mysterious Stranger you no longer meet the prerequisites of Amateur Gunslinger, and per its special clause is replaced with Extra Grit instead. Ergo the second sentence of Daring Deeds no longer has any effect (because you no longer possess the feat it targets).

Sovereign Court

Wouldn't it get you that extra deed so long as you took those 3 Cavalier levels before any levels of mysterious stranger?


Yes... and no. You would lose the benefits of the selected deed when you took your first level of Gunslinger, as you would no longer possess an amateur gunslinger feat to use it with (it having been replaced automatically by Extra Grit.

Oh, wow. I just noticed this thread was here. I posted a similar question today in the Rules forum. My feeling so far is that there's too much overlap, and the CHA to damage a limited number of rounds/day (not including recharging grit) is nice, but probably not as good as other dips. I'm considering Slayer (for Studied Target) or Weapon Master Fighter to get to Weapon Training quickly.

I also started a thread HERE in the Advice forum for the build I'm looking at currently.
