[QUOTE="Daniel Runge, post: 6282514, member: 6775372"] Thanks a lot for the input, here's my thoughts on it: Am I missing something with Pistolero? I can't see a reason to take it as a single level, wouldn't Mysterious Stranger be a better 1 level "dip"? 2 things - I get Cha instead of Wis for Grit, same as Buccaneer, and "Focused Aim" will do more damage on average than "Up Close and Personal", and last for a round, not just a single attack. Having looked around for a bit, I realize now that the feat "Sword and Pistol" is particularly bad... Compared to Point Blank Master it's more difficult to get, and not even as good. (your threat contra you threatened), and Deft Shootist Deed is even better, as it protects you even from AOO's from reloading, so I'll go with that. This even means I need Dodge and Mobility - opening up Shot on the Run and parting shot. How does Rapid Shot* work with using a combination of melee and ranged attacks in a full-attack?`just 1 more ranged, and all attacks get -2? If so, Would the Snap shot feat chain be worth it? So far this is what I got: Great feats: Opening Volley, Deft Shootist Deed, Rapid Reload (Pistol), Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus (Cutlass) Class levels: 1 Gunslinger of whatever archetype, 4/6 level of Trench Fighter Warrior, and then 3/4 more levels of gunslinger. Where to go from here? *Assumption* - Trench Warfare and Gun Training / Pistol Training does not stack. If they do, I will have to reconsider the class levels. My will save sucks, slightly remedied by bravery. Makes sense, probably gonna take a trait giving further bonus against fear effects. Weak to sways of the mind, but fearless. The Mysterious Stranger class feature "Lucky" is annoying me on this, makes me consider Buccaneer even more. Losing nimble I'm considering two-weapon defense as well, if I have the feats. Thoughts / improvements? *Edit - Wrote Manyshot by accident [/QUOTE]
