Here is my attempt at a gunner class like the one from FFX-2. Let me know what you think.
Gunner
Hit Die: d8
Skill Points: (3 + Int. Modifier X 4)
At each new level: (3 + Int. Modifier)
Weapon And Armor Porficiency: Dagger, Hand Axe,
Mace, her guns, and light armor.
Guns: A gunner starts play with two guns and always know
where they are no matter were they are lost or stolen even
on other plains. If distroyed a gunner may forge new guns to
replace the old ones. Doing so casts 260 gp and two weeks
for one or 520 gp and an additional two weeks for both and
requires a special lab to be set up (all costs and time needed
given). Guns have a range of 50ft and a X2 crit..
Ammo: Gunners ammo never runs out and never needs to be
reloaded. At 1st. level the damage it deals is 1d6 + Strength
modifier. Ammo increases in damage as the gunner gains
levels (use monks unarmed attack damage progresion).
Gun Play Power: A gunner can channel powers into her guns. She
can use them a number of times per dayequal to one half
her class level (minimum 1) plus her wisdom bonus
(if she has one). Gun play ablities can only be used while
wearing light armor and unencumbered and useing the gunners
guns. A gunner only needs only one gun to use theis abilities. Gun play
ablities are scater shot, enchanted ammo, pot shot, and drill shot.
Trigger happy: As a full round action a gunner can fire her
guns faster than normal at the expense of accuracy. She
must have both guns in her hands to use this ablitity and
can't be combinded with gun play ablities (follow the monks
Flurry attack bonus).
Dodge: At 1st. level, a gunner gains the ability of the dodge feat.
Scater shot: Starting at 2nd level, a gunner can spend one of
her daily use of her gun play power to damage multiple opponits
in a 20ft. cone as a full round action that provokes attacks of
oppertunity. All damage is spread out to all that are hit. No attack
roll is needed and have to make a reflex DC15 or take damage. At
10th.level, and spending anouther gun play daily use a gunner can use
both guns to make two different scater shots that may not overlap.
Quick Draw: At 3nd. level, a gunner is adpt at drawing her
weapons quickly and is treated as having the quick draw
feat only for drawing her guns.
Point Blank Shot: At 4th. level, a gunner gains the PointBlank Shot
feat only using her guns.
Enchanted Ammo: Starting at 6th. level a gunner can spend one of
her daily use of gun play power to deal 1d4+1 points of force damage to an
opponit per two levels to a maximum of +5. This duplacates a Magic Missile
spell cast at the gunners level. Doing so is a full round actionthat provoks
attacks of oppertunity.
Mobility: At 7th. level, a gunner gains the mobitity feat.
Pot Shot: Starting at 8th. level, a gunner can spend one of her daily
use of her gun play power to add +2d6 extra points of damage. Doing so is a
full round action that provokes attacks of oppertunity.
Shot On The Run: At 11th. level, a gunner gains the Shot On The Run feat.
Drill Shot: Starting at 12th. level, a gunner can spend one of her daily uses of
gun play power to negate all cover. Doing so is a full round action that provokes
attacks of oppertunity.
Tableturner: Starting at 14th. level, a gunner can spend one of her daily uses of
gun play power to deal +1d6 per point of extra damage to a opponit with damage
reduction (Example DR 5/Silver = +5d6 damage).
Darksight: Starting at 15th. level, a gunner can see through magical darkness as
well as he could normaly see in normal light (Darkproof does not grant the ability
to see in normal dark areas or times).
Eyes of the Owl: Starting at 15h. level, a gunner can see to a distance of 60ft. in non
magical darkness as long as her gun play power is not empty
Quarter Pounder: Starting at 16th. level, a gunner can spend one of her daily uses
of gun play power to sacrafic 1/4 her curent hit points to add it to damage.
Pierce the Darkness: Starting at 18th. level, a gunner can see through magical darkeness
as lon as her gun play power is not empty.
Combine Power: Starting at 19th. level, a gunner can combine two different gun play
powers together. Doing so cost all the normal gun play points but only requiers one
full round action.
Cheap Shot: Starting at 20th. level, a gunner can spend three uses of her daily gun
play power to deal a automatic critical hit to a opponit. Doing so is a full round action
that provocks attacks of oppertunity.

This somehow reminds me of the Gun Mage from the Iron Kingdoms CS. There has been a downloadable preview of this class on Privateer's HP.
I don't know if i'm allowed to post a link, but you could find this easy by using Google.
This class seems unbalanced to me.
Never runs out of ammo?
Always knows where his guns are, even if they are on other planes?
Consider that, with abilities like Point Blank Shot ect., this class gets feats on nearly every level!
Quite too powerful, even if they only work with his guns.
Sorry, i think you should rethink this...
I think you have a great concept, but your class is a bit unbalanced. You're trying to make a character class, not a powergamer's dream. If it outstrips the abilities of other PCs then other players are going to get annoyed.
Hit die: d6
Skill points: 2 + Int mod per level (x4 at 1st level)
Class Skills (and key ability): Climb (str), Craft (int), Jump (str), Sleight of Hand (dex), Spot (wis), and Use Rope (dex).
A d8 hit die is for characters who normally serve as secondary melee combatants like clerics and druids or faster, stealthier frontline combatants like rangers and monks. A gunner is a ranged fighter and I can't see a single reason they would desire to be right next to an enemy when they can gun them down from safe range. Also, this is a class that focuses on a specific class feature (guns), so skill points should work like those of a wizard (spells) or fighter (general combat).
Lose all abilities related to seeing in the dark; that is a racial or magical ability (except for certain classes/prestige classes that specifically deal with dark environments like the dungeon delver) and magical darkness is magical for a reason. If you still want a certain ability to detect foes in such circumstances, add in a gunplay power at fifth level that, as a swift action, activates a 30 foot blindsense for one round per class level. At tenth level allow two power uses to be expended as a single swift action to do the same thing with double the range. Three uses can get 90 feet at 15th level and 4/120 at 20th level (at any such time the gunner can still use less expenditures for the shorter range, of course).
Add two weapon fighting at first level, improved TWF at eighth, and greater at fifteenth. Drop the Dodge, Mobility, Point Blank Shot and Shot on the Run, those can be picked up as normal feats and getting them for free overpowers the class. Instead, put in Close Combat Shot as a class feature at 4th level. This should be identical to the feature of the Order of the Bow Initiate (or the D20 Modern Gunslinger), allowing the gunner to make a ranged combat attack in a threatened area without provoking an attack of opportunity (they can use their guns in melee with no penalties).
Also, the Scattershot ability, I think is actually underpowered. While a good idea, it will become useless at higher levels because of the fixed save DC; try making the save DC 10 + half of gunner level rounded up + gunner dexterity modifier. This makes the DC roughly analogous to that of the strongest spells cast by a wizard or sorceror of similar level. Dividing damage isn't a good idea for an area effect; make damage equivalent to a single hit from the gun being used for the attack, and any target failing the save takes it (save = half damage, evasion applies as normal). Range 100 feet, but all targets beyond 50 feet get a +4 bonus to their saving throws because of the distance (+2 for a range increment, +2 for multiple targets).
Also, strength should never be added to ranged weapon damage except in the case of a composite bow or thrown weapon. Being able to pull the trigger really hard doesn't have any effect on how hard the bullet hits. Instead, make a note that the gunner's guns begin as masterwork weapons and can receive magical enhancements as per normal rules. Also, note that they make a loud noise when fired (obvious drawbacks to stealth); they can be "silenced" with a magical enhancement equivalent to a +1 bonus. Unless I'm gravely mistaken, magical enhancements can be added to a weapon on seperate occasions, so as long as the gunner has enough to pay the difference between his/her guns' current enhancement price and the price of the enhancements desired (and the time to wait for the process to be performed) they can get them upgraded between adventures. The summoning ability would be a wise choice for a character relying on specific weapons. I'd also suggest that forging new guns, particularly the kind that never run out of ammo, should cost more (I'd suggest no less than 1000gp per gun).
That "turn the tables" thing? Completely unbalanced to the point of being obscene, lose it.
Wow thanks for your help. What do you think now?

I like it, me and my friend came up with something like this, the Grammaton Cleric from the movie Equilibrium. I might post it and see what you think.

General Information
The Grammaton Cleric is the most focused fighter in the martial arts of gunplay. His combination of unarmed combat, firing rate, and proficiency with melee weapons makes him a deadly combatant. Mathematics, geography, and statistics taken from more than 10,000 gun battles allows the Cleric to make the opptimal use of his position, to effect the maximum opponents over the maximum field of fire while evading the statistical trajectory of return fire. This makes the master of the Gun Kata an adversary not to be taken lightly.
Clerics focus and training is highly based of the devoted following of their calling. They firmly believe that emotions cause the violence in the world are against them. The order sends them on missions that only benefits them, even though Clerics ally themselves with others to complete their goals, for nessesity only.
Game Rule Information
Abilities: High Dexterity is very important to a cleric not only for attack, but for the fact that the cleric will never be able to wear any other type of armor besides the one that is issued to him. Charisma is also very important because of the Cleric’s presence and tasks. Inteligence is important because the Cleric relies on his skills more than a soldier. Also, Constitution is important because Clerics receive less hit points than a soldier and his abilities require him to fight his opponents within 30 feet or less.
Hit Dice: d8
Starting Money: 2d6 x 200

This version is by far better than the first.
But i don't understand how it could be explained (in game terms) that the Gunner never runs out of ammo.
In a fantasy setting gun-powder and bullets should be kinda rare (in my opinion) and this could be an interesting twist to playing a gunner (as long as problems getting ammo is not exaggerated by the DM).
And i don't like the idea of increasing the damage done by the guns as the gunner advances in level.
In case of the monk this can be explained by training, knowledge of body structure and expansion of Ki, but the gunner always uses the same guns, right?
Explaining this with Ki wouldn't be a good idea in my opinion.
I was trying to recreat the gunner class from FFX-2. That job as they call it in that game uses guns and her str. score deturmans damage. Also they never ran out of ammo. In my game I am curantly building and playing with my group I wanted to add in a lot of game and anime fiction. I posted here to get some feed back befor I let one of my friends play test it. Thats why in my first draft I was using str. Keep the feed back comming this is good stuff im getting.

Ah, i see...
I somehow imagined this class to be for a classic Fantasy setting.
When it's for an Anime-styled setting with an exaggerated take on fantasy (like, for example, in FinalFantasy), than aspects like this 'Doesn't run out of ammo'-feature seem suitable (as long as the other classes get the same or a similar treatment).
Sorry, i've mistaken your intentions from the very first post...
Its no problem. I am going to try my hand on a version of the dark night job also. I still need to get one of my friends to play test this class wich should not be hard . I will post that version if their are any changes in a couple of weeks. Every one keep thouse ideas comming. Thanks.
Ok so far no problems with my class so far. I just want to take the time to report in on how its going in my campin with this class. The Gunner seems to be no more powerful than the Warlock core class in my oppinion but that remains to be seen seening as he has not gotten to level two yet. Oh and here as a few little twicks that I made because of some errors that I made.

Well my friend play testing this class just got to seconed level. I'm excited to see how well this goes concidering i'm making my group fight for every level they get. But thats a different story. So far the class does seem to be fairly balanced and not any better then the others. I find i'm compaing the class to the Warlock class and it seems that its fairly solid. I fixed a few errors in this version and clarified the pot shot ability.

My home brew has matriarchical jungle dwelling society full of females packing pieces that I had to cionvert into 3.5.
Pretty much what I went with though is not a whole seperate class but merely some tweaking on the basic classes. Essentially I added the rules for guns which are pretty similier to one and two handed crossbows with potentially really high damage similier to 2nd edition (when you roll damage if you roll certian high numbers you roll another die of damage if these select numbers come up again yet another die is rolled etc. then its all added together for the total damage inflicted).
Mostly the guns however are pretty much one shot weapons. Takes to long to load them in the middle of combat. Pretty mcuh the only requirement for the use of the guns is that a bunch of skills and feats get sucked up by them so the basic class has a pretty good ranged weapon at start but the player does not have access to feats or skills normally gained until all these gun using feats and skills are 'paid for'. I stripped the fighter types of the medium and heavy armour feats as well.
I'm pretty sure its a viable in terms of play balance since my players keep looking at the option of taking the class and arguing with each other over whether its worth it. I figure they would have rejected the class out of hand if they thought it was to weak and would all been eager to play it if it was to powerful. The fact that they can't decide strikes me as a good sign.
So has any one out there used my class? And if so what level did they get to and how balanced was it in your game?
This is pretty awesome. Seeeing as it's 3 A.M. here in Indiana, I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to play one.
Cool let me know how it goes in your campain. I would like more feed back on how it plays. Thanks
Ok so I know it been a while since I posted this and its not that great but I just had a few new ideas to tweak the class to make it a little bit more ballanced. Again any help will be greatly accepted.

Cheap Shot: Starting at 20th. level, a gunner can spend three uses of her daily gun play power to deal an automatic critical hit to a opponit. Doing so is a full round action
that provocks attacks of oppertunity.

This class sounds pretty cool. I had a friend once make a Gunslinger based on Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. I'll see if I can't get him to find the old sheets and let me post it on here. I'll show this to him and see what he thinks of it, he may like some of your ideas and use em for his own. First chance I get, I'll playtest this and report back to you. Though I will probably change the unlimited ammo since I play in a classic Fantasy setting. But I will probably add an alchemy feat that allows him to make his own powder and shells. That should keep him balanced as you have him.
A bit from my Hoarde
My friends who are twins both love that book series. But this is more of a spin on the FFX-2 gunner. I bet that you could probably come up with something that blends the two together and get a really interting class. Post what you get when you have a chance. I'm still refining the class and comming up with options to blance it out in a more realistic sense. Right now its way on the anime side.
