Base Class: Ranger
Gunslingers are skilled marksmen who have acquired their skill through hard earned experience rather than official training. Common in high risk environments such as wilderness fringes, lawless towns, and areas prone to monster attacks. Gunslingers value toughness and self-reliance. They choose to live and die by the gun; rather than rely on the absent or impotent authorities. They have established their own code of honour, which they enforce with pistol duels. Some prefer to live by the motto: "shoot first, ask questions later".
Gunslinger Code
At 3rd level, choose one code to follow. Chaotic characters must choose Shoot first, ask questions later. Lawful characters must choose Honourable Duel.
Honourable Duel
As a Bonus Action, make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by the target's Wisdom (Insight). On success the target has disadvantage on attacks that do not target you for 1 minute or until you use this feature again.
Shoot first, ask questions later
You have +3 to your initiative. You have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks against creature you have fired your gun at.

Judgment
Peacekeepers are able to pronounce judgment upon their foes. As an action choose a judgment to make and the Peacekeeper receives a bonus or special ability based on the type of judgment. At first, a Peacekeeper can use this ability once per Long Rest. With each archetype increase, the Peacekeeper gains an additional use. Once activated, this ability lasts until the combat ends, at which point all of the bonuses immediately end. If the Peacekeeper becomes paralyzed, unconscious, or otherwise incapacitated, the ability does not end, but the bonuses do not resume until they can participate in the combat again. When the Peacekeeper uses this ability, select one type of judgment to make. As an action, they can change this judgment to another type.
Destruction: The Peacekeeper is filled with great wrath, gaining a +1 bonus on all weapon damage rolls.
Healing: The Peacekeeper is surrounded by a healing light, gaining fast healing 1. This causes the Peacekeeper to heal 1 point of damage each round as long as the Peacekeeper is alive and the judgment lasts.
Justice: This judgment spurs the Peacekeeper to seek justice, granting a +1 bonus on all attack rolls.
Protection: The Peacekeeper is surrounded by a protective aura, granting a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
Purity: The Peacekeeper is protected from the vile taint of their foes, gaining a +1 bonus on all saving throws.
Resistance: The Peacekeeper is shielded by a flickering aura, gaining 2 points of resistance against one damage type chosen when the judgment is declared.
Smiting: This judgment bathes the Peacekeeper’s weapons in a holy light. The Peacekeeper’s weapons deal an additional damage dice equal to the weapons damage dice.
The benefits from a Judgement may now also affect a number of allies up to your Charisma modifier within 30 feet.
