I am wondering if the Spellstrike feature would allow for the use of the 2H weapon attack. It simply says you have to cast the spell and then channel it through your weapon as part of the melee attack. So holding my 2H weapon in one hand, I cast the spell and then grab with two hands bashing the snot out of my foe.

Does anyone know if this has been discussed and if it is allowable?

I fell Spell Combat is very clear you have to have a hand free to use the two attacks. Spellstrike is not as clear.

I am reading so many flames of this class and most revolve around the fact the gunslinger is a "western" class. Even the people who like the class are all talking cowboys and six shooters. I for one thing this is a nice concept and gives me options for a ranged class, who is not magical nor carries a bow and arrow.

What I am most disappointed with is the fact the play test has pigeon holed this to the cowboy feel. When I heard gunslinger, I thought of pirates who brandish a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other. Or a traveling potion dealer who needs a bit more protection than that old rusty sword provided. Or how about an alchemist who devised a device to basically shoot smaller doses of his concauctions rather than throwing them? It seems there are plenty of ways to bring this class to the table without it being all "howdy" and "lets head to the saloon".

My hope is with a bit more time, people will realize with a magic compass (way finder), smoked goggles and some pistols, it is reasonable to believe someone in Golarian could be advancing weapon options.
