'Ello playgrounders.
After a break, I've been contemplating getting back into roleplaying, specifically my old 3.5e passion. I've played tons of different characters, tried many, many different builds, basically, I've been playing the field.
Except for the more rogue-esque ones.
And I've got my eye on, at least from what I gather, one of the less loved types of rogue-esque characters - a gunslinging one.
Personally I'm going by the ones in the DMG, in particular the pistol one. What I'm looking for is a way to build a character that can perform well with the gun, as well as being useful in other traditional rogue like areas of expertise, such as stealth and, especially important, charisma and persuasion.
As I see it, strictly looking at the gun, there is one major hurdle I have to get around, which is reloading the pistol, which by the DMG takes a standard action, meaning I could potentially fire only one bullet every two rounds (and that flat sucks).
So, I'm looking for suggestions for class, feats, skills, weapons, tricks, anything really, to optimize pistol use.
Any level will do, though the faster you can make it work the better, all books are fine deal, though the more obscure ones might not be really all that plausible once I get a game, so avoid those if possible.
Thanks in advance.
