Gunslinger Feat: Whip-shot Deed


Rules Questions


whip shot deed is a feat that reads

Benefit(s): Whenever you use your pistol-whip deed, you can fire a single bullet from your firearm at the same time that you strike a foe with the butt of your firearm. You must spend a total of 2 grit points to use the pistol-whip deed in this way, and must still succeed at a ranged touch attack against the target of your pistol-whip deed to hit. You cannot use the scatter weapon quality of a firearm when you use this feat.

does the shot provoke an attack of Opportunity?

when combining it with signature deed is whip-shot separate from pistol whip? which way does it work if i wanted to signature deed it as low as i could get it?

1 signature deed to reduce pistol-whip and 1 for whip-shot so it could be used for 0
or just 1 for whip-shot so it would still cost 1 grit for the full effect.

i know its not an amazing combo but i like the flare of it

thanks in advance for any info you can provide


Since they call whip shot a deed in the feat description, I'd say you need to take signature deed for pistol whip and whip shot separately to reduce the total cost to zero. Taking signature deed for just one of those deeds would reduce the cost to 1 grit for the full effect.
As for the AoO, the feat says you need to make a ranged attack for the whip shot, and ranged attacks always provoke unless something explicitly states otherwise. In this case, a whip shot would provoke.


k thanks that is kinda what i was leaning towards as well so until further notice i'm going to stick with that.


Deft Shootist protects you from provoking with any reloading or firing of firearms.
