SO I have been building a gunslinger, or at the very least thinking about it.
I am thinking human musket master. However, I am running into some issues. I am sure I will run into more but I was just wondering if people can help me deal with these.
1. No + to damage. while a d12 with a musket damage is awesome, there is no + anything, except when I take deadly aim and point blank shot (all I have at LVL 1). That seems just kind of pathetic, given that a +4 (which is super common) would bring my base damage (without feats) to be the same as a d6. That's kind of sad for a primarily damage dealing class. Am I missing things?
2. Misfire- great concept. Totally great idea, but to me it looks like it starts to break the game every time you get more attacks. With a paper cartage i am misfiring 15% of the time. With 3 attacks a turn, thats a ~40% chance of misfire per turn. That seems crazy for lvl 11, and it looks like I will be loosing a lot of progression, and almost regressing.
3. Lack of flavor. Muskets are huge, and I do mean huge. "drop to one knee and aim a shot" looses flavor very fast. It also does not regenerate grit. Without calling a shot, which shouldn't be horrible given the touch attack ability, how do I do something cool? How do I add flavor.
