TWF gunslinger Succubus build


Advice

So, I was thinking about the mysterious stranger as a NPC, remembered that a mysterious, charming stranger is often exactly what succubi start out as, and decided to go TWF just for kicks.

It's starting to seem somewhat viable, since succubi are always relevant, and they have decent Dex and high Cha. Would the Mysterious Stranger archetype actually be worth it with grit, Focused Aim, and Stranger's Fortune being Cha-based, or should I use a different archetype?

EDIT: Focused Aim eats swift actions desperately needed for reloading, so Mysterious Stranger is looking less and less viable.


I would be curious as to why you would not take rapid reload as a feat, and use paper cartridges. That would make reloading a free action for a pistol. Other than that most things that are charisma based work well with a high charisma monster like a succubus.


Because paper cartridges aren't alchemical cartridges as far as I can tell and they increase misfire by 1, which seems like a bad idea when you make as many attacks as TWF pistols is going to.


I recall Mysterious Stranger having a major flaw as an archetype. I fail to recall what it was.


It gives up gun training, quick clear, and nimble.


Paper cartridges are a type of alchemical cartridge. Also if you are giving this succubus five levels of mysterious stranger it gets the ability to ignore its charisma modifier in misfires. This does raise the question of what challenge rating you are looking at for in this succubus of course.

Easily possible, but if that's a reference I'm afraid I don't get it. The Dark Tower is the closest thing to a western I'm interested in.

And Mysterious Stranger seems viable.

Rapid Reload, paper cartridges, and 3 levels of Trench Fighter to regain gun training, plus some bonus feats.

Doesn't really shine until 5 levels of Mysterious Stranger and 3 of Trench Fighter, though.


Oh, man! You just gave me a great idea for a succubus gunslinger/sorcerer for a game I'm running. Thanks! :)

Sorry, I was being a bit obscure. Red Sonya, as originally written by Robert E. Howard, was a gunslinger fighting the Ottoman Empire in 16th century Italy.


You should invest feats into grappling. Everyone loves grappling succubi.


The grappling succubus is a separate concept. I remember making a thread about the best non-tetori grappler, which may or may not have been because of that concept.
