Pistolero + gun training

[partyrico]

The gunslinger archetype Pistolero gets an ability called gun training which gives a bonus on damage equal to dexterity using one handed firearms, but this doesn't replace gun training, which is a similar ability for standard gunslingers, except it applies to the weapon type of their choice. Does this mean a Pistolero gets both? Can they choose one-handed firearms for their gun training and get dex*2 for damage with guns or was this an oversight?

It's widely considered to be an oversight.

What Cheapy said.

If you actually look at Musket Master, they have an ability called "Musket Training" that adds Dex to damage with Muskets. This ability replaces the base Gunslinger's "Firearm Training", but there is no such thing. Hard-core RAW people argue Musket Masters get double Dex to damage, too, even though it's easier to see it was an oversight.

Furthermore, another potential RAI I've noticed is overlooked about 'Gun Training' for Pistolero's is that a typed bonus does not stack with another bonus of the same typed. Ex, an enhancement bonus does not stack with an enhancement bonus...

So even if it wasn't an oversight, then as the bonus from 'Gun Training' and also the Pistolero's 'Pistol Training' ability are both "a bonus equal to their dexterity modifier" which, while not giving a type to the bonus, would make me think that it is a 'Dex' bonus, ergo typed, and therefore not stacking in the first place. This is, of course, our house interpretation, and there's no need to argue ferociously with me, especially as the UC seems so poorly edited, as to throw pure RAW out the window as a way to settle any questions...

Just my 2 cents. It's supposed to replace the base ability, and even if it didn't, it shouldn't be able to stack regardless. (And regardless, a gunslinger will do enough damage as to not need an additional bonus, I've noticed...)
