      I do kinda disagree with Matt’s method of Crits. In my party we roll the damage die twice on crit, doubling the potential damage, rather than the actual damage. My DM is considering taking a medium between the two, roll your damage die once, and then add the maximum that dice can do in addition. So if your damage die is a d10, you get 10 damage + whatever you rolled

    This becomes far more impressive to think about when you realize he executed the entire stream of actions, including moving, shooting 4 or 5 times with an old fashion rifle (at most a lever action or bolt action) hitting every time, reloading, and ducking back down to hide, over the course of six seconds, the official time it takes for one round of combat. To summarize, he dealt enough damage to kill 62 commoners, 2 stone giants, or an adult gold dragon in all of six seconds. Now consider he should have done more damage this turn since he wasn’t adding his dex modifier to the first few attacks.

      It's even more primitive than a lever or bolt-action weapon. Bad News seems to be a wheellock breech-loading rifle, technology from the Musketeer Era (1600s). They take a lot of effort to load, and require such precision machining that historically they tended to be made by watchmakers (which shows just how good a craftsman and designer Percy is).
      There is at least one real-life gun of this type that I know of, BTW. Look up a video called "Beautiful 1625 Breechloading Wheellock" and it'll take you to a Rock Island Auction House video showcasing it. It's a real-life period weapon, and it's eerily similar to descriptions I've read of Bad News.

      @Crouza 5 років тому +45

      Gonna be brutally honest here. And i mean it to. Gunslinger as a subclass is kinda Garbage. Having played one myself, you are effectively halving your damage by utilizing these weapons, and that chance of failure upon a 1-3 is a mother fucker. The only reason in Pathfinder that it is so good, is that it is one of the only ways to get your dex mod to damage with ranged weapons, and those weapons attack touch Ac, so they essentially remove the enemies armor, shield, and natural armor, from benefitting their AC. That last one being something 5e gunslinger doesn't do.
      It is a testimony to what a Fighter can do when it's player can score crit after crit after crit. If percy weren't a gunslinger, and was, say, an Arcane Archer or Samurai instead, i think he'd be doing way more damage then he's ever done, even with Bad News, or the Animus, considering Kabals Ruin can just as easily be used with those, and they also benefit greatly from Crits.
