College of Dueling

Your bardic studies had you focused on amazing, almost theatrical, gunplay. You tell people to meet you at ‘high noon’ for a duel, over sell your accents, and most importantly, you back it all up with good aim. Your typical flute or other instrument is dropped in favor of something with more twang, perhaps a guitar or harmonica, and your songs seem far more fictitious than the tales most bards sing about, and yet they are far more grounded in reality. Needless to say, you aren’t the typical bard.

Firearm Training

What shows off more than one lightning quick blast? You gain proficiency with Firearms, and you can use a firearm as a focus.

Hard lessons

There's nothing worth to you more than your honor; save maybe your life. You can use a bardic inspiration dice as a reaction if you fail a saving throw, adding the total to the save; potentially turning a failure into a success.

Flashy Handling

Quick draw! Whenever you take the Attack action on your turn, you can draw or stow a weapon without a free action, and if a firearm attack that you make as part of this action hits, add your charisma bonus to the damage dealt.

Money Shot

Reload? Why!? You've learned to make the last one count, when you fire the last round in a firearm, deal an additional damage dice. In addition, you ignore the reloading property of non-specialty firearms.

 

Dirty shot

Double-tap, Keep them down, however you say it, that was a dirty shot. When you land a critical hit with a firearm, you can use your bonus action to fire again, treating the second shot as if using your off-hand.

Regaling Shootout

There's a story to be sung here, thankfully that's your job. Whenever you are performing a countercharm action, you can make one attack action, as long as the weapon in hand is a firearm.
