Gunslinger / Pistolero . Pistol and Double Barreled Pistol difference


Rules Questions


The rules about firearms told us that :

"Even though the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (firearms) feat grants you proficiency with all firearms, anytime you take a feat that modifies a single type of weapon (such as Weapon Focus or Rapid Reload), you must still pick one specific type of firearm (such as musket, axe musket, blunderbuss, pistol, or double pistol) for that feat to affect."

What does that mean for the Gunslinger and Pistolero archetype ?

Did his 5th level Gun Training apply to all type of Pistols or are Pistol and Double Pistol separated weapon ? the same than Axe Musket and Musket are shown as separated weapons.

What about Revolvers ? are they considered Pistols or their own category as well ?


Pistoleo

1) pistol training applies to one-handed firearms, not pistols so it isn't a factor.

2) rapid reload has to be bought multiple times if the pistolero uses different types of one-handed firearms, but that is the only feat which has to bought multiple times in the typical pistolero build.


Thanks for the clarification.

Seems like the gunslinger himself is limitated, not the pistolero.

"Gun Training (Ex): Starting at 5th level, a gunslinger can select one specific type of firearm (such as an axe musket, blunderbuss, musket, or pistol). She gains a bonus equal to her Dexterity modifier on damage rolls when firing that type of firearm. Furthermore, when she misfires with that type of firearm, the misfire value of that firearm increases by 2 instead of 4. "

Make the pistolero much more interesting.


Yup, just double-checked and cnetarian is correct - Pistol Training states "1-handed firearms". So probably just a mistake in translation (or they saw the name of the ability and assumed "1-handed firearm" was wrong...)
