Hi everyone,
I'm theorycrafting a variety of back-up characters for my current campaign in case my character dies. One idea I had was doing 1 level of gunslinger, and all the rest rogue. The basic idea is a rogue that fights with a gun.
We use a house rule that I think will make this combination very fun:
HOUSE RULE:"Flanked" is a condition. If an opponent is flanked, he is flanked for anyone attacking him. Thus, a rogue can get sneak attacks more often, works even with ranged weapons.
LIMITATIONS:Only things found on Paizo PRD.
If there are any other ways of getting this same concept (rogue with a gun, sort of like a pirate I guess,) I'd be interested in hearing them.
I'll probably focus on a one-handed firearm (start with pistol or pepperbox if starting level is high enough.)
For race I'm leaning goblin, because it would be very cool and the +4 Dexterity definitely helps, but tengu also looks appealing. Other suggestions are also appreciated.
