So I've been looking at the Gunslinger for a long time and I have many questions about a few inconsistencies that I see. The biggest question I have is about a Pistolero class feature.
This is from the vanilla Gunslinger:
-Gun Training (Ex)
Starting at 5th level, a gunslinger can select one specific type of firearm (such as an axe musket, blunderbuss, musket, or pistol). She gains a bonus equal to her Dexterity modifier on damage rolls when firing that type of firearm. Furthermore, when she misfires with that type of firearm, the misfire value of that firearm increases by 2 instead of 4. Every four levels thereafter (9th, 13th, and 17th), the gunslinger picks up another type of firearm, gaining these bonuses for those types as well.
This is from Pistolero:
-Pistol Training (Ex)
Starting at 5th level, a pistolero increases her skill with one-handed firearms. She gains a bonus on damage rolls equal to her Dexterity modifier, and when she misfires with a one-handed firearm, the misfire value increases by 2 instead of 4. Every four levels thereafter (9th, 13th, and 17th), the bonus on damage rolls increases by +1. At 13th level, a pistolero never misfires with a one-handed firearm.
This is from Musket Master:
-Musket Training (Ex)
Starting at 5th level, a musket master increases her skill with two-handed firearms. She gains a bonus on damage rolls equal to her Dexterity modifier, and when she misfires with a two-handed firearm, the misfire value increases by 2 instead of 4. Every four levels thereafter (9th, 13th, and 17th), the bonus on damage rolls increases by +1. At 13th level, a musket master never misfires with a two-handed firearm.
This replaces gun training 1, 2, 3, and 4.
My questions are:
1)Should there be an errata stating that pistol training replaces gun training 1, 2, 3, and 4? It was clearly a replacement class feature for the Musket Master.
2)If it's not an errata, does this mean that the Pistolero gets to add double their dexterity modifier to damage rolls? If so, why not?
I don't discourage anyone's comments, but am really seeking an official ruling on this... I've heard a hundred arguments from a hundred people who think it goes many different ways. Hell, I've played it both ways in different campaigns. I'm currently playing a gunslinger in a Pathfinder Society setting, and wanted to officially know what it should be since PFS is very strict on the rules and the house has no say.
