===Campaign Information===
====Playing a Hexagunner====
'''Religion:''' Hexagunners view religion and devotion to a single ideal or deity with great distaste. However, Hexagunners are known to be superstitious and respectful of holy sites such as churches, rarely being so bold as to steal sacred symbols or disturb sanctified places of worship.
'''Other Classes:''' The Hexagunner chuckles at the [[monk]], chortles at the [[wizard]] and outright laughs at the [[paladin]]. Classes who devoted themselves to a discipline and strict set of rules are a somewhat comical concept to the Hexagunner. He will find some comfort with fellow thieves and mischief makers like [[rogues]], who share the same concepts of and a good time.
'''Combat:''' Hexagunners can act as scouts or front runners for the party, although also have a place at the back of the party to make the best use of their ''Steady Aim''. Able to deal large amounts of damage in a relatively short time, the Hexagunner can easily slip in and out of combat by sniping or simply evade his enemy due to his high dodge capabilities.
'''Advancement:''' <-Typical advancement options for characters with this class. Include desirable multiclass options->.
====Hexagunners in the World====
{{quote|"Your money or your life! Wait...did I say or?|orig=Three-shot, Gang leader of the Bloody Nose Boys}}
Commonly bandits and thieves, Hexagunners are highly capable ambushers and highwaymen. They are usually found in gangs ranging for five to fifteen, lurking on forests waiting for passersby or guarding the highways to halt merchant carriages. Hexagunners can also be found on the mercenary markets in smaller groups or even singular, even with the promise of payment it is not wise to place all of one's faith on their loyalty, apt to flee should they meet their match or turn should their contenders offer a larger paycheck.
'''Daily Life:''' A Hexagunner spends a great deal of time preparing his weapon every day, the complex mechanisms can either lock or misfire should there be a major blockage or faulty ammuniton. After the usual preperation time of cleaning out the delicate inner workings, the routine for the day is set out by the gang leader or head honcho, whether this be patroling the highways, planting traps along the forest paths or raiding a nearby town. Whilst they may seem anarchic, the leader commands a great deal of respect from the fellow gang members because otherwise another would take his place.
If none of the usual activities is available, then the Hexagunner gans will retreat to a local tavern to relax, put up their feet and lastly use their fists.
'''Notables:''' Seigfried 'Three shot' Kepler, Black Eye Bob, Shotglass Johnson.
'''Organizations:''' Depending on situation, Hexagunner come in many different arangements. On the open road or forest path, they congregate in gangs ranging from five to fifteen at most. However they are in much lesser numbers in the cities, offering their services for a price, which is most usually either singular or a group of three.
'''NPC Reactions:''' Since a Hexagunner always proudly displays his signature weapon, it is easy to discern a Hexagunner from the usual trash that litters the mercenary markets or wilds. NPCs will either run in fear if in large groups or call for the local law enforcement if they are in lesser numbers. Generally the outlook on a Hexagunner is not positive, but this usually does not bother the typical highwayman.
====Hexagunner Lore====
Characters with ranks in [[Knowledge]] (local) can research Hexagunners to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.

====Hexagunners in the Game====
Hexagunners can play the roll of either comic relief, constantly fighting with authorative figures, or are able to add a little ''bang'' into a campaign with bartime brawl or surprise ambushes. Either way they are very powerful figures, able to deal out massive amounts of damage at relatively long distances. These are not suggested for low-fantasy campaign but fit extremely well into cyber or steampunk settings or high-fantasy games.
'''Adaptation:''' Either as bandits, misunderstood thieves or generally just the bad guys, Hexagunners come in a large variety of personalities. They allow for a lot of freedom for role playing along with
'''Sample Encounter:'''
''"I don't know Trobruk...seems kinda dark down there..."'' Matilda whined as they winded through the forest path, four of them, wearily pacing along the sodden mud path that sloped steeply downwards into the heavily wooded valley gorge.
''"Will you be quiet! You’ve been ‘my feet hurt! Are we there yet?’ since we left Townsbrooke four days ago!"'' The rain had done little to ease the swordsman’s temper, his leather underlay now thoroughly soaked. ''"At this rate we’ll never find this confounded Hexagunner den! They’ve probably already packed up and moved by now you coatstand!"'' At this moment he was tempted to use the Halfling as a toboggan along the slippery trail to speed up their descent.
Trobruk felt a hand tap on his shoulder ''"Matilda I swear if you don’t get to the back of the line right now I will use your skin as garnish for our next meal!"'' His face was beet red, contrasting his usually pale complexion greatly, as if someone had slapped him hard across the face.
The hand persisted still. ''"That’s it!"'' Turning quickly around, Trobruk was not met with the sight of a chirpy Halfling woman. A gleaming gun barrel was pressed to his forehead, its cold tip making a temporary red circular impression on his now ghostly white face.
''"Stand and deliver."'' The assailant’s smirk was hidden by a plaid handkerchief around his nose and mouth that served as a bandanna.
''"Gods above..."'' Trobruk would rub his temple if his hands weren’t now bound by thick, coarse rope....
