Toying with the following build:
Race: Human (Heart of the Wilderness)
Class: Mysterious Stranger Gunslinger 20
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Trait: Without a Past
Feats: No Name, Two Weapon Fighting tree, Ancestral Relic (Right Handgun), Item Familiar (Left Handgun), Quick Draw, ???
The idea is for a Man with No Name character who follows his deity to seek justice.
Now, I'm aware this may as well be a trope forged by Clerics, Paladins, Crusaders, and Inquisitors, but for a gunslinger with a heart of gold, I feel as if this could be an interesting take on the Gunslinger. No name. No past. Just two guns (revolvers to be precise, playing on the old Western theme) and a need to right the wrongs of the world.
Questions:
1. What feats would fit thematically, optimally, and in the flavor of the Man with no name. And yes, I plan on taking the Without a Past (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/social-traits/without-a-past) trait and the No Name (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/no-name-grit) feat to accentuate the Mysterious Stranger archetype. And this time, yes, he has a name (just refusing to divulge it to every soul who asks, to protect myself from being arrested for misdeeds done in my youth).
2. How exactly do Item Familiar and Ancestral Relic work? There's no clear-cut explanation to how they work and my Google-fu is weak. Need the Barney-style explanation. And I'm not trying to break the game with these. DM flat told me that guns are EXTREMELY rare and expensive, and those are "archaic" firearms, let alone "modern" revolvers.
3. On a pure thematic point, how would you guys suggest I play this man, as to not rip lines off from the classic Clint Eastwood films?
Allowed material:
3.5 (all of it)
PFSRD
Homebrew (on a case-by-case yay-nay)
Thank you guys so much.
