Foxglove the Gunslinger? (big spoilers!)

[Thomas Gentile 604]

Need some advice!

My table is 1 session in with RotRL, and they've just met Aldern Foxglove. Foxglove has taken an interest in the Gunslinger of the party, and after the boar hunt the Gunslinger is contemplating starting a business relationship with him. Selling Aldern guns.

(as a side note. Since guns are fairly rare on Golarian, it's generally assumed at our table that the Gunslinger "invented" the contraptions locally. There may be guns in other parts of the world, but not in Varisia.)

Now, since we have a 7 person adventuring party, and Aldern was going to need a buff to handle a larger group, I wanted to have the choice to arm him with guns come back an bite them in the ass.

Any suggestions? I was thinking there were two options:

1. Re-writing Alden with some gun profs/with Gunslinger levels.

2. Outfitting the Skinsaw Cult.

Any other possible suggestions?

Oh man! This is an awesome idea! As far as giving Aldern a gun I'm not entirely sure. But equipping the cult with them would be great foreshadowing for the party. And could give the party even more reason to want to stop this whole mess considering their the reason the cult is so strong!

But you'd need to play this carefully, guns are not only very strong but expensive and could give the party way more gold then their worth.

For balancing reasons I wouldn't change the build of the cultist. I'd just give them guns and give replace Weapon Finesse with the proficiency. That way they still get the deadly accuracy and damage but you don't change the fact that they're still clerics/rogues. And as far as the GP value goes make them the guns that only the first level gunslinger can use. And really only sell for scrape (it would seem in all of his time being a Ghoul, Aldern has let the assembly of his product go downhill.)

As far as Foxglove goes you could easily replace his Rogue levels with Gunslinger and switch Weapon Finesse with a feat that will be more useful for his gun.

I'd limit it to only a couple of guns.
