Need help for a replacement PC for Skulls and Shackles.
She's a female vudrani gunslinger (buccaneer) 4/swashbuckler (shackles corsair) 8 with a 25 point build and heroic level of gear.
Here is the point build I've picked: STR: 12 DEX: 15 CON: 14 INT: 12 WIS: 12 CHA: 15
I'm hoping to be a pirate captain who wields a pistol and a rapier at the same time.
I need advice on ability score bonuses (both racial and level based), feats, and equipment.
Anyone?
I've always found the pistol/ rapier build is better done as a rogue. You essentially utilize quickdraw and multiple non-magical pistols to "fake" reloading.
I don't remember my feat choices, but the ideal build was Unchained Rogue 10/ Trench Fighter (fighter) 3, but that build began sword and shot into full shot. Bandit archetype to abuse the "I decided when combat starts (and ends)"
Savage technologist with a reliable firearm and a beneficial bandolier.
The Buccaneer is supposed to give you that Theme of a guy on the high seas that has his own familiar (parrot). Except you don't have the levels for it. Let's say that is important to you. After all you said you wanted a Pirate Captain.
How about 5 levels of straight Gunslinger and the rest in Eldritch Guardian (fighter). You do lose the first two bonus feats however.
The good thing is that you get a bonus to your will from this archetype.
If you went this way, you would switch Wisdom and Charisma around and probably concentrate on DEX.
