Gunslinger and Pistol Whip


Rules Questions


Hi Everybody - thinking of making a Pistolero that has two weapon fighting.

Question - can the pistol-whip ability granted to the gunslinger be used in a full attack action? And thus make 2 attacks? (Assuming I'm wielding 2 guns in my hands or a gun and a sword)

Also - does the attack itself cost 1 grit? Or is it the knock prone ability that cost grit?

Thanks!

Seems like you can make multiple attacks with your pistol-whip[if you have TWF and 2 or a BAB +6 or higher]. Also it doesn't look like the attack itself costs grit.

At 3rd level, the gunslinger can make a surprise melee attack with the butt or handle of her firearm as a standard action. When she does, she is considered to be proficient with the firearm as a melee weapon and gains a bonus on the attack and damage rolls equal to the enhancement bonus of the firearm. The damage dealt by the pistol-whip is of the bludgeoning type, and is determined by the size of the firearm. One-handed firearms deal 1d6 points of damage (1d4 if wielded by Small creatures) and two-handed firearms deal 1d10 points of damage (1d8 if wielded by Small creatures). Regardless of the gunslinger's size, the critical multiplier of this attack is 20/×2. If the attack hits, the gunslinger can make a combat maneuver check to knock the target prone as a free action. Performing this deed costs 1 grit point.

As a standard action, so not during a full attack, and not as an Attack of Opportunity.

And simply using the deed costs 1 grit, not just the "knocking prone" aspect.

Oh, wow, I missed that. Sorry.
