Double Check: Amateur Gunslinger

Hopefully simple.

My fighter takes Amateur Gunslinger. I gain one grit point each day and gain access to one specific deed.

If I select

Quote:


Gunslinger's Dodge (Ex): At 1st level, the gunslinger gains an uncanny knack for getting out of the way of ranged attacks. When a ranged attack is made against the gunslinger, she can spend 1 grit point to move 5 feet as an immediate action; doing so grants the gunslinger a +2 bonus to AC against the triggering attack. This movement is not a 5-foot step, and provokes attacks of opportunity. Alternatively, the gunslinger can drop prone to gain a +4 bonus to AC against the triggering attack. The gunslinger can only perform this deed while wearing medium or light armor, and while carrying no more than a light load.

Now, do I require use of a firearm at all for this feat? Or even proficiency in firearms?

As written, feat looks really useful for a fighter, even if only for that immediate action to drop prone against a ranged attack.

I'm asking because it seems clear that the feat is supposed to be firearm related, but I'm not seeing any actual firearm requirements.

The only requirement I'm seeing is in regaining grit, which would limit me to daily uses of this deed without an actual firearm (or the extra deeds feat).


There's no requirement saying you have to hold a forearm. Just meet the feats Prerequisites and than use it from there.

No, this deed does not require a firearm in any way except to have a way to regain that single point of grit.

Awesome, thanks. I love it when they are simple and unanimous answers.
