Hi folks!
We're playing the Carrion Crown adventure path and I have a gunslinger as a character. Somehow my GM was pised off, after I hit level 5 and startetd dealing some decent damage.
When I scored a crit against some golem (in book 2 of the AP) while full attacking (Rapid Shot and Hasted) I dealt some 120 dmg.
That really did it for the GM. He cried out, he would never allow gunslinger in any of his campaigns again, that the class was absolutely overpowered. I told him that I needed to invest two feats to make full attacks, while almost any other class and weapon could do so freely (hint, Bowfighter) and I still had a 15% chance of misfire on each shot (1-3, musket with paper cartridges). As well as dealing damage is the only point in a gunslinger and I could easily build a barbarian, that could reach damage scores as high, when dealing a crit. He didn't listen to my arguments but at least he didn't ask me to change character.
But since then the touch ACs of all our enemies are mysteriously high. (For example the final boss of Trial Of The Beast, some crazy construct, suddenly came along with AC 29 and touch AC 20. It almost wiped our group and I just kept spamming Startling Shots, so the others had a chance to hit.) Especially our casters have problems now, since they have much lower To Hit scores and miss their touch spells all the time. My hit chances are now roughly the same if I would be using a bow.
I don't know the monsters in the AP (we're now in book 3 Broken Moon), but I have the feeling that he makes up his own creations (He has any right to do that as a GM, but I feel countered out). Crazy demon-spellcaster-werewolves with DR 10 or 15/cold iron (guess what kind of bullets are not available) with more than 70 HP that are FULLY HEALED each round if not killed in one round. And even then he was pissed about my feat Clustered Shots.
Now he has sent me an email that asks me to send him my character build so that he can be "better prepared with our opponents in the future". Don't get me wrong, as a GM he has any right to check out my character, but that mail just sent shivers down my spine.
I am on the brink of trashing my character and building some Archer type or Barbarian as this is getting less and less fun for me. Combat is the only spotlight fo the gunslinger and the GM constantly tries to take me out of the game.
What is your opinion?
What should I do?
Chers,
Frosty
