Thankfully, there's deployable cover you can carry around when you need it.Įquipment: leather armor, arquebus/jezail A sniper in the open or in tight corridors is rough. It's a slow progression until 6th level with snipers aim, but the sniper pays off with enough patience. Your initial deed won't be all that good until 9th level, with vital shot, then your ranged attacks become very threatening even without a crit. Pretty simple tactics, you reload + hide/take cover then shoot hopefully hitting your target flatfooted then repeat. Probably the best class to utilize stealth in combat with ranger and rogue being the other contenders. Level 2: risky reload (works best with the harmona gun) (Humans or other ancestry's that can afford a flaw in both int and Cha can start at 16 str to get the large bore modification at 5th level to boost your kickback damage). Then you can run into melee with some very good options.Įquipment: leather armor, arquebus/harmona gun There's not much point in running up to someone to shove them when you can be at range and have the same effect, at least until you get to 14th and 15th level for blast tackle and your advanced deed. Your tactics are to probably hang out at range at first and use your defensive tactics only when necessary. The best user of kickback weapons with strength being the recommended secondary stat and athletics being your slinger's reload skill.

Another way that encourages melee tactics with a more defensive lean than the drifter with your initial deed giving you a free parry on initiative and your shoving reload. 2 slide pistols might be too heavy, an air repeater is a likely candidate for a second gun. If duel wielding, a slide pistol will allow you to use your slinger's reload with your capacity rounds and works within 30 feet. Pistol twirl being optional but very convenient with how much you're boosting charisma.Įquipment: leather armor, dueling pistol. Your basic tactics are to stay within demoralize distance and harass opponents with your reload and pistol twirl at early levels. Conveniently, your 15th level deed only requires you to be wearing a one handed gun, which seems redundant when you're holding a much bigger gun in your hands, but I digress. You just won't get the benefit from your 9th level deed. Can work with either duel wielding or single gun, even works with a 2 handed jezail if you want it to. I would recommend both to have both options for your slinger's reload. Built for either deception or intimidation. Everything past this point is pretty good and could be worthwhile on many builds.Ĭharisma based. Stats: 14 str, 18 dex, 14 con, 10 int, 12 wis, 10 con.ĭon't want to get too far with this list.
Don't be afraid to fall back when things get hairy, you still have a gun to harass enemies with from afar.Įquipment: leather armor, slide pistol, shortsword Your initial deed helps facilitate getting into the correct position. The drifters main tactic is close quarters ranged attacks and following up with their reloading strike.
There's a lot of potential variety in your choice of weapons that could impact your playstyle and your class feats so for these choices, assume the weapons are a slide pistol + shortsword, probably the best combination for a typical drifter because of duel wielding and making follow up attacks with your reloading strike. Here's my take on how each way can be built well. Your way specific "slingers reload" gives a strong action pattern that supports a specific playstyle and identity to each way. I'd like to try it out for my favorite class.Īt first glance, it's just a crit fishing class that can't make many attacks per turn to crit fish efficiently, but there's a lot put into this class that gives it a surprising amount of efficiency and versatility despite the nature of the loaded weapons in it's namesake.
