I am making a Dwarven Gun-tank / pistolero for PFS play and I want to make sure all my plans are kosher.

Some questions:
1. Can I be both a gun-tank and a pistolero? (This is the most important one :p)

2. Do pistols count as light weapons when using TWF? So can I wield a dwarven war axe and shoot my pistol at only a -2 penalty.

3. If I wield a buckler, pistol and a one-handed weapon, can I attack with both weapons and still gain the buckler's bonus to AC? I think I can because the firearms sections says that I can wield a firearm with a buckler at no penalty.

4. Does the gun-tank's armour training apply to shields?

5. Can you load a one-handed firearm while wielding a shield?

6. Can I rotate a pepperbox when I am wielding a heavy shield

7. When using TWF, if you have more than 2 weapons equiped, like from a Barbazu beard or Blade boot. And if yes, can I wield 2 blade boots to do some butt-kicking for justice!

And related to the dwarven SR alternate ability:

1. Does SR affect your use of wands / potions?


One more thing. Does the gun-tank's armour ability apply to encumbrance penalties? If they don't, that seems kind of useless since you can't wear pretty much any heavy armour and be lightly encumbered unless you have an a whole lot of strength.


1. Yes
2. No
3. No (You take no penalty to attack but you can not retain the bonus to AC)
4. No but this one might be debatable
5. Yes if it's a light shield or buckler, No if it's heavy or tower.
6. No
7. You seem to have left off part of your question but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
