GUNSLINGER

The gunslinger is an accurate & deadly ranged

attacker, who will use pistols or a rifle to attack

from a distance. He quickly draw out his weaponsand make several rapid successive shots at a

blinding rate of speed. When up close combat

occurs, he sometimes will rely upon his trusty

knife hiding in his boot to take out close

combatants, or even the butt of his gun used as a

club. His accuracy with his firearms makes him a

strong foe, and that coupled with magic makes him

deadly.
