Fighter Marksman Gunslinger (Deprecated)

Marksman Gunslingers rely on range to become effective at their craft. A Marksman focuses on the ability to redesign and utilize powerful, yet dangerous ranged weapons. They are the hidden assassins of the newer advancing world, soon to be utilized by more than just nobles. These men and women are the soldiers that can change the fate of a battle beyond the range of a normal archer. Their rarity makes them excellent as bounty hunters and assassins.

 Most of the marksmen that are prominent come from the Faerun or Grinnder Islands. It's training is constant over 12 years and requires only those who understand their purpose. Many marksmen's are bounty hunters, assassins, saboteurs, spy's or hired protection.

You are beginning your understanding in building your rifle(s). You gain a proficiency with Tinker's Tools and Firearms.

Firearm Properties

Firearms are a new and volatile technology, and as such bring their own unique set of weapon properties. Some properties are followed by a number, and this number signifies an element of that property (outlined below). These properties replace the optional ones presented in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Firearms are ranged weapons.

Reload. The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Reload score before you must spend 1 attack or 1 action to reload. You must have one free hand to reload a firearm.

Misfire. Whenever you make an attack roll with a firearm, and the dice roll is equal to or lower than the weapon’s Misfire score, the weapon misfires. The attack misses, and the weapon cannot be used again until you spend an action to try and repair it. To repair your firearm, you must make a successful Tinker’s Tools check (DC equal to 8 + misfire score). If your check fails, the weapon is broken and must be mended out of combat at a quarter of the cost of the firearm. Creatures who use a firearm without being proficient increase the weapon’s misfire score by 1.

Explosive. Upon a hit, everything within 5 ft of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) or suffer 1d8 fire damage. If the weapon misses, the ammunition fails to detonate, or bounces away harmlessly before doing so.

Ammunition

All firearms require ammunition to make an attack, and due to their rare nature, ammunition may be near impossible to find or purchase. However, if materials are gathered, you can craft ammunition yourself using your Tinker’s Tools at half the cost. Each firearm uses its own unique ammunition and is generally sold or crafted in batches listed below next to the price.
