Help me help a newbie.

Hey all.

So I am currently playing PFS at my FLGS.

As I have more rules knowhow then most of the other players they tend to ask for advice when building their characters.

Ok, this one has me stumped...

This kid is playing a gunslinger (ok so far).... Gun Tank.

Up to now he has used Medium armor, and a heavy shield.

In combat he shoots his pistol, drops it then draws a melee weapon and fights.

How is a gun tank ment to work?

They provoke when shooting.

They provoke when reloading (not that he has tried to yet)

They Provoke when pulling a melee weapon.

Yes I know "Stay out of melee, for gods sake your a gunslinger, not a fighter"

But then whats the point of the gun tank?

Any help would, well..... help.

Thanks.

Drawing a weapon does't provoke. So you shoot, then close in and attack with melee.

[Thefurmonger]

Well that helps at least.

I could have sworn it provoked.....

Stand 5ft away, shoot, draw weapon, 5ft step, attack. The sword and pistol feat will bring this build into completion, and rid themselves of AoO.
