Gunslinger

Overview & Creation

The Gunslinger is an accurate and deadly combatant who uses pistols or a rifle to attack from a distance. They can quickly draw out their weapons and make several rapid successive shots at a blinding rate of speed. When close combat occurs and situations get a little sticky they will sometimes rely on their trusty knife or even the butt of their gun. The Gunslinger's accuracy with firearms makes them a skilled combatant and a deadly opponent.
