Gunslinger with double barreled weapon


Rules Questions


Situation: Gunslinger lvl 5 with dex bonus to dmg on his gun uses a standard action to fire his double barreled musket, with both shots (at -4 per shot)

@@@@
Musket, Double-Barreled
This musket has two parallel barrels; each barrel can be shot independently as a separate action, or both can be fired at once as the same attack.
If both barrels are fired at once, they must both target the same creature or object, and the gun becomes wildly inaccurate, taking a –4 penalty on each shot. Each barrel of a double-barreled musket uses either a bullet and a single dose of black powder or an alchemical cartridge as ammunition.
@@@@

Does he get his dex bonus and other bonuses ( for example deadly aim) on both shots so dmg is 1d12 + dex + other / 1d12 + dex + other
or 2d12 + dex + other

From everything I've seen, the answer would be yes,

personal for my musket master I prefer single barrel muskets, but that's me,

I don't have enough wine to keep track of all the free actions to load more then one barrel at a time :)


1 d 12 + dex + others for each shot is correct.
Would you roll each shot seperatly, hit and roll damage there is no
reason why the second shot would be just a d12

One free action per barrel I would presume. More like 1.5 free actions for both barrels. The PC can grab two cartridges at the same time, for example, instead of retrieving them one at a time.
