Pistolero + Mysterious Stranger Archetype question


Rules Questions


6 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

I was wondering if these two could be used together. I guess the answer would be no, but wanted to be sure since Pistolero Pistol Training is not saying "this ability replace Guns Training" So Im guessing that part was missed in the Pistolero archetype. Mysterious Stranger loose Gun Training for Stranger's Fortune.


They do not stack, as that is a misprint. I can guarantee you Pistol Training replaces Gun Training in the exact same way that Musket Training replaces Gun Training for the Musket Master. The last line of Pistol Training, which should state that, is missing.


if two archetypes modify (or replace) the same ability, they can't be taken together.

For example if an alchemist lowers bomb damage dice, he can't replace it with sneak attack, to do 1d4 sneak attack. The problem is that in general the modification could be better or worse because single abilities aren't balanced for archetypes.

On the other hand there is normally no problem to houserule this.

The only two gunslinger archetypes in Ultimate Combat that can be taken together are, oddly enough, gun tank and pistolero.

Lots of things are missing..... :(


it would take a bit of house ruling, but by RAW no


No. For the reasons shown above.
