Overview & Creation

Gunslingers use all kinds of guns, from a shotgun to a revolver. They often showboat and display their talent for everybody to see. Gunslingers love attention and all eyes watch them when they enter the room as a product of their confidential nature. Past all of the ego and pride, Gunslingers are kind people and they can’t turn away a person in need.   Grit: You gain a number of grit points equal to your WIS modifier. You regain 1 expended grit point each time you roll a 20 on the d20 roll for an attack with a firearm or deal a killing blow with a firearm to a creature of significant threat (DM’s decision). You regain all expended grit points after a short or long rest.

Only the initial attack can misfire.   Violent Shot: When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one or more grit points to enhance the volatility of the attack.
