Gunslinger Scoundrel

Not all scoundrel smell like rose and blood, some smell like black powder and rose! The Gunslinger Scoundrel is a ranged variant of the Scoundrel, losing the ability fight effectively in melee in exchange for ranged ability. Their ability to use maneuvers is also reduced considerably, losing about half of their maneuvers known and access to many disciplines. In exchange they gain a higher HD, base attack bonus and some additional special abilities and feat.

Maneuvers: A Gunslinger Scoundrel only has access to the Black Rain discipline and her specialized maneuvers. She only start with four maneuvers known, and gain one additional maneuver known at each odd level. This does not affect the learning rate of her Specialized Maneuvers. On the flip side her mechanic recovery change, once per round she can refresh a single maneuver as a free action as long as it was not expended this round, she may not use the refreshed maneuver until the start of her next turn. Whenever she recover a maneuver she may expend a readied to ready a maneuver of the same level or lower, she may not use the newly readied maneuver until the start of her next turn.

Desperado: A 1st level Gunslinger Scoundrel gain the Quick Draw and Point Blank Shot feat as a bonus feat. She count her Scoundrel level as Fighter level but only for the purpose of qualifying for feat which affect her firearms (like Weapon Specialization).

Close Shooter: At 2nd level, a Gunslinger Scoundrel threaten adjacent square with her firearms as if it was a melee weapon and she no longer provoke from firing in melee. She can take attack of opportunities with her firearms, which are still ranged attack. At 12th level she threaten opponent as if she had reach.

Lined Shot (Ex): A 7th level Scoundrel gain the ability to observe one of her foe as a move action, she may not use this ability if she attacked that turn. The target must stay within her line of sight until the start of the gunslinger's next turn and the gunslinger may not attack while observing otherwise the action is spoiled. Starting from the start of your next turn, the target is flat-footed against your next ranged attack and you do not automatically miss it on a natural 1. This benefit last until expended or until you lose sight of the creature.
