Gunslinger
Gunslingers are technologically advanced and hyper-intelligent crafters. Some have incredible influence over the battlefield, shaping entire wars with their bravado. Some are unparalleled terrors at close range, decimating foes with their unflinching resolve. Others are the model of efficiency, lying in wait and killing their targets before they knew there was any danger. Regardless of the gunslinger's preferred method of attack. All are formidable in their own right. Don't cross one, they aren't to be taken lightly.
A gunslinger's weapons are a reflection of them and are their most prized possessions. With their extreme smithing talent, no two are similar, as each one is engraved and crafted to the gunslinger's advantage. As the gunslinger grows more comfortable with their weapons and knowledgable of combat, they become a formidable and deadly force.

class features:
Firearm Forte Starting at 1st level, you can forge modern-style firearms and their ammunition. The DM must determine whether an item is craftable, what materials are required and how long it will take to make. A gunslinger also requires their Tinker's Tools to craft such items. Furthermore, you gain a +2 bonus to all attack rolls you make with ranged weapons. Swift Reload Starting at 2nd level, you ignore the loading property of firearms with which you are proficient. Adept Marksman At 2nd you learn to perform powerful trick shots to disable or damage your opponents using your firearms. Trick Shots. You learn two trick shots of your choice, which are detailed under “Trick Shots” below. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one trick shot per attack. You learn an additional trick shot of your choice at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. Each time you learn a new trick shot, you can also replace one trick shot you know with a different one. Grit. You gain a number of grit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). You regain all expended grit points after a short or long rest. Saving Throws. Some of your trick shots require your targets to make a saving throw to resist the trick shot’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: Trick Shot save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier The trick shots are as follows: Bullying Shot You can use the powerful blast and thundering sound of your firearm to shake the resolve of a creature. When you make an attack roll using a firearm, you can spend a Grit to force the target to make a Charisma saving throw against your Skill Shot save DC. On a failure, the creature is frightened until the end of your next turn. Dazing Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one grit point to attempt to dizzy your opponent. The creature suffers normal damage and must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of their next turn. Deadeye Shot When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one grit point to gain advantage on the attack roll. Disarming Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one grit point to attempt to shoot an object from their hands. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or drop 1 held object of your choice and have that object be pushed 10 feet away from you. Forceful Shot When you make a firearm attack against a creature, you can expend one grit point to attempt to trip them up and force them back. The creature suffers normal damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet away from you. Piercing Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one grit point to attempt to fire through multiple opponents. The creature suffers normal damage and you make an attack roll with disadvantage against every creature in a 15-foot line directly behind the target. Violent Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one or more grit points to enhance the volatility of the attack. Roll one additional weapon damage die per grit point spent when determining the damage. Winging Shot When you hit a creature with a firearm attack, you can expend one grit point to attempt to topple a moving target. On a hit, the creature suffers normal damage and must make a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
