5 Multiclassing

Gunslinger, Varient

The clash of sword against shield is overcome by a new thunderous noise, it is not the evocation magic people
are used to but the sound of a firearm. Held in the hand of a charming or grity adventure the firearm can be a

many in a world, and can come from all walks of life.

limited by the normal 5gp per day rule for crafting firearms and bullets.

Crafting a firearm in this way takes 1 day of work for every 100 gp of the firearm’s total price.

Crafting Ammunition: You can craft bullets, pellets, and gunpowder for a cost in raw materials equal to 10% of
the price. Crafting bullets takes 1 day of work for every 50 gp of ammunition.

Gunpowder (60 doses) Cost: 25 gp Weight: ½ lb. One pound of gunpowder is sufficient for 60 shots and is
usually contained in a powder horn to keep it dry. Up to 120 pounds may be contained in a barrel. Large
quantities of unattended gunpowder can be dangerous; if exposed to fire or electricity, gunpowder explodes in a
10 ft. radius dealing 1d6 points of fire damage for every 5 pounds of powder involved (max 20d6; DC 10
Dexterity save for half damage). If gunpowder gets wet it's unusable until dried out for 2d4 days.

Grit points.
Critical Hit with a Firearm: Each time the Gunslinger scores a Critical Hit with a Firearm attack while in
the heat of combat, they regain 1 Grit point.
Killing Blow with a Firearm: When the Gunslinger reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points with a
Firearm attack, they regain 1 Grit point.

regain 1 Grit point.

surprised.

Deadeye: The Gunslinger can spend 1 Grit point as a bonus action, they gain Advantage on the next Attack roll
they make this round. The Gunslinger spends the Grit point before making the attack roll, and this Deed cannot
be combined with other Deeds that affect an attack.

Gunslinger’s Dodge: The Gunslinger gains an uncanny knack for avoiding danger. When an attack is made
against the Gunslinger, they can use their Reaction and spend 1 Grit point to gain a +1 to AC against the attack.

Targeting Shot: You can spend a Grit point to target a specific location when you make a ranged attack against

message than itdoes to speak the same idea plainly.

In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as

an area are easy marks orwill provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

firearm. The feature then shows how the gunslinger can repair their weapon in the heat of combat using an
action.
