About this class
Gunslingers are the most disciplined tacticians in all the realms. They are masters of ballistic control and specialize in advanced firearm techniques, including lethal trick shots, rapid reloading, suppressing fire, and long-range precision. Whether holding a vital choke point or erasing a high-priority target, Gunslingers thrive in high-pressure combat where a single misstep could be their last.
They typically bond and train at elite military academies or rugged frontier mercenary companies. A current of cold detachment often runs through those of the gunslinging persuasion; while they are the most likely class to hold a defensive line together with iron nerves, a Gunslinger of cold temperament can just as easily abandon a position if the tactical odds turn against them.
