Sword and pistol looks like a great feat, but are all the prerequisites too steep for a cleric 15 gunslinger 5? The character is for skull and shackles, and will alternate cleric and gunslinger levels until the five levels are reached. He has the trait that raises his cl for his cleric by two. He is Dex based with a rapier, and weapon finesse.
Just pick up the Deft Shootist Deed feat. Cheaper. Get Dodge and Mobility, then select it as one of your free Gunslinger feats.
It would be great, but it doesn't help you reload your weapon at all, and one of its feat prerequisites, snap shot, does absolutely nothing for you if you have a melee weapon in hand anyway. I suggest talking to your DM about making something nicer, otherwise I prefer deft shootist myself.

Snap shot does still have a function with a melee weapon in hand: without it, you can only make the AoO with the melee weapon. With snap shot, you can choose to use your ranged weapon. A gunshot is sometimes preferable to a sword strike.
Very true, on all counts. My concern is simply the amount of feats it takes, with a build that that won't get a whole lot, especially since I need weapon finesse. I honestly dont see a way to take sword and pistol, as useful as it would be. Deft shootist looks like it may be out if reach as well.
A Dex-based cleric is going to face some challenges in build versatility.
Yep, and I knew that when I made him. Sacrifices must be made, and looks like AoO's against him will be a major issue at his low levels. Perhaps the best solution will be to keep him out of melee for a few more levels.
I actually just read up on leaping shot, and I think I will pursue it and deft shootist, as they both have the same prerequisites. I'll be getting a little more bang for my buck, so to speak.
