Okay, I plan on playing a halfling rogue pirate for an upcoming game, as a throwback to one of my first characters. I'd like to wield what seemed like a pipe-dream back in the day... a flintlocke pistol (preferably double barreled, I have a set I'd like to twirl around at the table) and a cutlass/rapier...
How would I go about building this guy?
6th level, 20 point buy... I suppose I'd look at something like
STR 13
DEX 18 (17+1)
CON 12
INT 10
WIS 12
CHA 14
Feats: Quick Draw, (EWP:Firearms), Deadly Aim, Far Shot/Weapon Finesse, Two Weapon Fighting(b)
Rogue Talents: Firearm Training, Snap Shot, Combat Trick

A few questions:
First: Be honest. Am I better off as a straight gunslinger or as a fighter?
Second: What archetypes could I use, here?
Third: Were I to take the grit talent, what deeds should I be looking at? Any alternative talents? I think finesse rogue should be in there...

I think you are better off with a Dip in Gunslinger (instead of firearm training) for deeds and 1/2 price crafting fire arms (no craft check required).
Then you can buy for 1/2 cost the Flintlocke (if you really waht a doubled barreled pistol).| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
