GUNSLINGER PARAGON PATHS
Gunslingers, as rangers, are eligible for those ranger paragon paths that don't require class features that the gunslinger lacks (see, especially, the pistoleer paragon path in the Player's Guide to Cydra). In addition, there are a number of specialized paragon paths for gunslingers.
Fire Gunner
“It's all in how you pack the powder.”
Prerequisites: Gunslinger, sunpowder burst class feature
You love fire. Sunpowder is a wonderful way to create fire- and you know how to pack it to best effect.
Fire Gunner Path Features
Fiery Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack, the attack deals an extra 1d10 fire damage on a hit.
Pyromaniac's Joy (11th level): Whenever you deal fire damage to a creature, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom bonus.
Burning Powder (16th level): Whenever you hit with a weapon attack using a sunpowder weapon, you may choose to deal fire damage instead of all other types of damage normally dealt.
Fire Gunner Path Exploits
Improved Sunpowder Burst --- Fire Gunner Attack 11
When your sunpowder burst explodes, it is somewhat more incendiary than a typical gunslinger's.
Encounter --- Fire, Martial
No Action --- Personal
Trigger: You use sunpowder burst.
Effect: The target also takes ongoing 10 fire damage (save ends), and each creature adjacent to the target takes ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends).
Pyromaniac's Ecstasy --- Fire Gunner Utility 12
Even though the flames burn you, you are filled with ecstasy and renewed power.
Encounter --- Martial
Immediate Reaction --- Personal
Trigger: You take fire damage.
Effect: You gain temporary hit points equal to the fire damage you took.
Greater Sunpowder Burst --- Fire Gunner Attack 20
Your sunpowder burst triggers a secondary, far more dramatic, explosion.

No Action --- Close burst 2 centered on the target of your sunpowder burst
Target: Each creature in burst
Attack: Dexterity vs. Reflex.
Hit: 4d8 fire damage.
Miss: Half damage.
Gun Hunter
“Look at her. She's a beauty.”
Prerequisites: Gunslinger
Not all gunslingers want to be warriors. Some prefer to focus on the hunt, whether seeking to feed their community or trying to take trophies from exotic beasts. You are one of these gun hunters, able to defend yourself and willing to fight enemies when they come to you, but preferring to use your talents against less intelligent foes when you have the choice.
Gun Hunter Path Features
Hunter's Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can also shift a number of squares equal to your Wisdom bonus before or after the extra action, and if you end this shift in total cover or total concealment, you can make a Stealth check to hide.
Hunter's Training (11th level): You gain training in one of the following skills: Endurance, Nature, Perception or Stealth.
Seek the Glorious Trophy (16th level): You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against Large or bigger creatures.
