Marksman Gunslinger

Marksman Gunslingers rely on range to become effective at their craft. The 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 Neverwinter and Waterdeep or the Northern Wastes. Marksman Gunslingers usually have to train anywhere between 12 to 16 years with many of them primary working as bounty hunters, assassins, saboteurs, spy's or hired protection.

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.

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.

• You gain proficiency with stealth, investigation, firearms and perception. 
• You gain a +2 to range attacks. 
• You can learn the spell Hunter's Mark and Pass Without Trace.
• Your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
