RequirementsWithout official mod tools it is not possible to insert my class icon into the game. It does work if you have ImprovedUI and ImprovedUI Assets.
- There are no longer any other mod requirements to run this mod.
This is NOT a requirement. The mod works 100% without ImprovedUI, you just cant see the class icon without it. ImrpovedUI does work without SE or CF so you are relatively safe using it.
Q: What is a Gunslinger, and what is a Ka-Tet?
A: I'm glad you asked, read this short article that explains.
The Gunslinger Litany
I do not aim with my hand. He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand. He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun. He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.
Smites
Ranged FORCE damage smites (normal and critical) as reactions are available on all ranged attacks except Fan the Hammer and Banishing Shot.
Proficiency
The Gunslinger is proficient with medium armor. There is nothing preventing you from using a longbow or a sword and shield and/or wearing heavy armor, but it will require taking Feats. I say true, your guns are the tools of the trade. A Gunslinger needs little more than that.
Unique Gunslinger Weapon
All new Gunslingers begin the game with a worn out Gunslinger revolver. There are ways to clean it up and upgrade it. Look around and you will find what you seek. A total of 5 guns exist. Two unique models and three unique skins. The Gunslinger's revolver will take you all the way to end game if you find the upgrades you need.
Ka
This is a class resource that Gunslingers use to power some of their abilities.
Battlemaster Progression
This class follows standard Battlemaster progression but only receives half the amount of maneuvers and superiority dice.
