Base Class: Fighter
"There's a right side and a wrong side to these guns. Don't wanna be on the wrong side." - Lucian, League of Legends
A class inspired by Lucian the Purifier from League of Legends. Enjoy :D
They who are of the archetypal Sentinel of Light rival those who dwell in The Mist. Sentinels of Light maintain order of these beings that escape the Mist. Wraiths. Ghouls. Shadow beings of the undead. Born into long chains of families heavily trained in the art of harnessing light to strike divine fury into the hideous creatures of the night, a Sentinel of Light refuses to give any grace to beings of the Mist beyond smiting them.
Quick, agile, but easily overcome against large numbers, Sentinels of Light flock together in larger numbers to avoid being swarmed. The Mist is never alone, and those who bask in darkness will always be blinded in the eyes of a Sentinel.
Do you relish in the destruction of those beings coming from the mist? Do you find solace in ending their suffering and reign of terror, or are you more solemn in your slaying. Is it an act of neutral virtue to hunt and stalk the spectres of the mist, or merely more than a game, and those of the Mist your pawns.

You are Proficient in Two-Weapon Fighting. You have disadvantage when using weapons that are not Firearms. Your Modifier for Firearm Attacks is Dexterity.
Meditation of the Pure: Your time as a Sentinel has blessed you as the Purifier of souls. At 3rd Level, you are able to summon 2 weapons known as a Light Pistols, through which you gain a bond with over time. You may spend 24 Hours of uninterrupted focus in meditation to summon your Light Pistols. If your Light Pistols are lost, you can resummon a new pair by spending 24 Hours, uninterrupted, meditating to channel new ones, instantly destroying the previous Light Pistols. If a Light Pistol is broken, spend 4 Hours, uninterrupted, meditating to channel enough energy to fix the broken pieces.
Light Pistols: Light Pistols are larger projectile weapons made of floating parts that channel energy of the pure light into attacks. To the person who summoned them, each Pistol weighs 5 lb. and requires one hand to use. To non-summoners, one Light Pistol weighs 200 lb. and is unreasonably draining to try and lift. The stats for a Light Pistol can be seen below. The Light Pistols can be visually seen here: Reference
Ammunition: Light Pistols do not use or consume ammunition. Light Pistols do not produce physical projectiles. When fired, the Firearms create a bolt of radiant light, pure and void of color, quickly striking the selected target. A broken Light Pistol cannot produce energy to fire.

A Light Pistols attack damage on hit becomes 2d8 at 6th Level, 3d8 at 9th Level, 4d8 at 12th Level, 5d8 at 15th Level, and 6d8 at 18th Level.
