I am looking at trying to create a character that basically fires bombs from a gun, any suggestions on how to improve it?
By end level it looks like I can be doing 1d12+Dex+8d6+Int+1d6, or 3d12+dex+1d6. The last 1d6 coming from alchemical fire, acid, or liquid ice.
I might end up removing Shot on the run, and the Vital Strike feats, and replacing them with extra bombs or extra discovery, something like that.
