Stop Bleeding


Gunslinger Discussion: Round 1


Regarding the Stop Bleeding feature of the 11th level Utility Shot:

I have my doubts about whether pressing a gun barrel that is hot enough to cauterize a bleeding wound could do so without inflicting damage. Even Rambo yelled when he field cauterized his wounds.


Non-lethal damage? It's painful, and some might pass out from the pain, but it doesn't kill?

Sure, yell a nice manly yell, but you don't need to loose hit points . . . ;)


I Agree that you do not need to lose Hit point.
As an 11th level ability, am happy with it just stopping a bleed effect.


Rambo wasn't yelling unless he lost some hit points. Cauterizing a wound is cooking flesh until it doesn't bleed any more. Medium well. It isn't exactly like baking for fifteen minute per pound, but it's still gonna hurt like a b-something. Non-lethal damage sounds right, but that just complicates the whole procedure.


Also I find it interesting that Ninjas have a Bleeding Attack and Gunslingers have Stop Bleeding, seeing that Gunslingers and Ninjas are natural enemies.

Edit: Oh hell, double post. My bad. I'd just read the Ninja.

Gunslingers are Pirates, now let the pirate vs. ninja war commence

Honestly, the best way I can think of building a low level Gunslinger right now is as a buccaneer; a saber (read: short sword) in one hand and a pistol in the other.
