Greetings, I am working on a new character and I have searched this website and messageboards for some answers, but really have not found too many answers or some of the explanations I could not grasp.
So I am throwing this out to the people who are more knowledgeable than me. The character plan is a Gunslinger / Inquistior so I have a few questions of what is reliable and allowable.
Eventually once he gets a second double barrel pistol, would the Rapid Shot feat stack with both pistols (one in each hand) to be able to shoot four bullets - two bullets at a -2 and two at a -6?
Is the Sword and Pistol feat worth it? It looks like it eats a lot of feats to get that ability.
Is Ragathiel a playable religion to serve in PFS?
Basically my plan is to have this character be multiclass using a double barrel pistol and bastard sword in combat - the spells gained are mainly spells to augement his weapons or character interaction with the NPC's - going Conversion Domain.
Any thoughts / limts I am overlooking?
You could Rapid Shot with double-barreled pistols, but only if you get your reloads down to a single action and use weapon cords. Rapid Shot means making two attacks with one of the pistols, not attacking with each once. You can attack with each once using Two-Weapon Fighting, but there are hefty penalites. Assuming you take the feat you'll be shooting at -10 on both hands. Without TWF it's -12/-16. Make sure you read the double-barreled pistol description, there is a penalty for using both barrels. You also end up with a significant misfire chance.
Sword and Pistol is probably not worth it since reloading still provokes.
Ragathiel is legal in PFS.
Thanks for the info, so if I understand this then, regardeing rapid shot, shooting both barrels of a double barrel pistol incurs a -4 for the second shot, but with the feat Rapid Shot, this reduces the penalty to a -2 then.

Rapid Shot gives a -2 penalty to all shots you make that round and lets you make an extra attack if you're taking a full-round action.
You can use Rapid Shot to fire both barrels one after the other, each at -2.
Pulling both triggers lets you take two shots in one attack (two rolls though) by taking a -4 to both rolls. You can do this as a standard action in case you have to move.
You can combine those to take four shots all at a -6 as a full-round action.
You could even split it, making one double-barrel attack for two shots at -6 and reload for another single attack at a -2.
If you can reload as a free action, have two guns with weapon cords, and have Rapid Shot and Two-Weapon Fighting feats you can shoot six bullets, (two normal, two for Rapid Shot, two for the offhand) all at -10.
Awesomethis really helps, thank you for the breakdown.
