This is a group of adventurers for playtest scenarios that all use firearms.
It is definitely non-traditional and the charcters don't cover all of their bases (buff/heal, tank, skill-dude and control).
Notes: I don't care if they have 'the right' gp-worth of goodies. I don't care if they are implausible. I just care that the firearm rules get playtested with more than just the gunslinger.
So, without further ado...
The Four Musket-axe-ateers!
Pretentious Priscilla
Female Human Gunslinger 10
Str 25 (17, +2 racial, +2 level, +4 item)
Dex 12
Con 16 (14, +2 item)

Wis 14
Cha 7
HP 123
AC (w/ buckler) 26
Fort +12
Ref +10
Will +9 (+3 vs. fear)
Grit 2

Feats: gunsmith, power attack, cleave, great cleave, toughness, heavy armor proficiency, iron will, weapon focus (musket axe), improved critical (musket axe)
Abilities: gunsmith, bravery +3, deeds, gun training (musket axe, pepperbox)
Relevent skills: acrobatics +14
Equipment
Strength +4 item
Wisdom +2 item
+2 flamebursting musket axe (one that doesn?t blow up, apparently. I?m assuming for this test that the magic properties work on both the axe head and the muzzle)
MW pepperbox
50 paper cartridges
50 flare cartridges
+2 buckler
+2 full plate
+2 ring of protection
+2 cloak of resistance
(So? if a musket axe is considered a battle axe that means in melee he can use it with one hand, right? Normally it?s a two-handed weapon, so?
If he has a musket axe in hand and fires off a ranged attack, can he still make attacks of opportunity with it in melee that round if he forgoes his buckler?s protection? I?m going to assume ?yes, he can.?
This ?gunslinger? charges into melee, hacking away at foes she can hit and shooting and taking 5ft steps away from the things she can?t. She frequently blinds things.
Melee Attack: +20 (musket axe) 1d8+9+1d6 fire, 19-20x3+2d10 fire or w/ power attack +17 or w/ power attack and dual-wielding +17a (musket axe) 1d8+21+1d6 fire

Ranged attack: +14 (musket axe) 1d12+2+1d6 fire, 19-20x4+3d10 fire

Pinnacles the Pony ? he?s a level 5 pack mule.
This dude is a highly mobile musketeer. He switches to the axe for melee, ensuring his hits with spells/arcane accuracy and to the musket-end at range whenever they fight something in heavy armor/with lots of natural armor.

Healy?s the healer. Aside from that, he has the best AC and really decent saves. He shoots things in combat, preferring only to ever use entangling and flare cartridges. He occasionally wades into melee to perform rescue heals ? which isn?t much of a problem considering his defenses.
