Musket Master "Steady Aim" duration


Rules Questions


4 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

The description for the "Steady Aim" deed of the Musket Master (Gunslinger archetype) reads as follows:

Quote:
At 1st level, as long as a musket master has at least 1 grit point, she can take a move-equivalent action to increase the accuracy of a two-handed firearm. When she does, she increases the range increment of the firearm she is firing by 10 feet. This stacks with other abilities that increase her range increment.

My question is, for how long does the bonus range last?


  • Next shot only? So the Musket Master can use it for their attack action, but it doesn't apply to attacks of opportunity during the round?
  • Until the next round? So it works for the attack action and for any AoO actions?
  • Until the musket master moves? Kinda makes sense, I guess.
  • Until the musket master changes targets? Makes a fair bit of sense based on the flavour of the deed, in that you would line up a target and then steady your aim, but there's no concept of "targeting" in the text.
  • Until the end of combat? Unlikely.
  • Forever? Surely not.

I'm guessing it's "next shot only", but I would like some confirmation.


I would guess the same thing (next shot only).

I would think only for that round, although as long as the conditions are met (1 grit point remaining in pool and move action sacrificed) you could continue this form of ranged attack indefinitely until the conditions were no longer present.
