The Gunslinger

Art by: Clonerh

 Gunslinger
An elf lays the barrel of her rifle atop a rock, peering through
the bushes and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike a
distant target. When her mark is clearly in sight, she pulls the
trigger, taking his head with a single shot and making her
escape.
A dwarf clad in dark leathers pulls a revolver from his hip,
unloading a shot into the bandit approaching him. Three
others begin to charge at the dwarf, and with lightning
reflexes, he fells them all before they have the opportunity to
close the distance.
A scarred goliath points his shotgun towards a group of
merchants, demanding the surrender of their goods. When
one of the merchants charges the goliath, he pulls a dagger
from his belt, gutting the hero before unloading his weapon
into another.
Gunslingers make use of quick reflexes and overwhelming
firepower to get the upper hand in combat situations. Out of
combat gunslingers make excellent scouts and lookouts.
Cutting Edge Weaponry
Gunslingers are skilled at using new and unique technology.
They have an intimate understanding of their weaponry and
are quick to adapt in changing situations. Their dexterous
nature and long ranged firepower allow them to stay on the
outskirts of battle while still dishing out devastating damage.
Even when in unfavorable situations, a gunslinger always has
an extra trick up their sleeve.
Varied Beginnings
Gunslingers come from a variety of backgrounds and employ
themselves in numerous professions. A gunslinger can be
anything from a common bandit to a soldier, or even an
intellectual tinkerer. Depending on the technology of the
world, gunslingers may be as common as fighters or as rare
as dragons themselves. Whatever their background, one thing
all gunslingers have in common is their grit in battle and
unparalleled finesse with firearms.
Creating a Gunslinger
When creating a gunslinger, be sure to consider the setting of
your campaign. Are firearms common or rare? Is your
character perhaps the first to wield firearms in your setting?
Does your character have enemies or rivals who covet their
(potentially) rare and powerful technology? Are you from a far
off land where firearms are much more common, or perhaps
from a different plane entirely? Who taught your character to
use firearms? And what is your character's relationship with
that person like? Consider how these factors may influence
the way in which your character interacts with the other
player characters, npcs, and the world around them.
Quick Build
You can make a gunslinger quickly by following these
suggestions, First, Dexterity should be your highest ability
score, followed by Intelligence. Second, choose the faction
agent background.

forgo, you gain a +1 to the attack roll. You also increase the
damage of the attack by 1 roll of your Grit Die for each attack
forgone. Additionally, if a creature struck by deadeye has to
make a Grit saving throw, such as when struck by the Pinning
Shot Trickshot, it does so with disadvantage.

Specialization: Tactician
Gunslingers who choose the Tactician Specialization are
experts at supporting their allies from a distance. They favor
bolstering the abilities of others over improving their own
firepower. They make excellent leaders and often come from
military backgrounds.
War Stories
When you choose this specialization at 3rd level, you learn to
inspire your allies through tales of past glory. After
completing a short or long rest, you may share an inspiring
tale of an event from your past. After listening to your story,
you and up to 6 other creatures gain one of the following
benefits of your choice for the next 8 hours:
A number of temporary hit points equal to 1 roll of your
Grit Die + your Intelligence modifier.
A bonus to initiative rolls equal to your Intelligence
modifier.
Immunity to the negative effects of the first 3 levels of
exhaustion.
If you use this feature a second time within the duration,
you lose the previously chosen benefit and select a new one.
Co-ordinated Firepower
When you choose this specialization at 3rd level, you learn to
better use the tools at the disposal of your allies in combat.
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack on your turn,
you may use your bonus action to command a friendly
creature to make a weapon attack or cast a cantrip against a
creature that you can both see within range. The commanded
creature chooses which weapon they use in the attack or
which cantrip they cast, if they choose to attack or cast at all.

By 6th level, you learn to manipulate the battlefield in your
favor. You may spend 10 minutes to do one of the following:
