Is there a Base 3.5 Class that uses firearms?

[killem2]

I used to know of 1 or 2 of the, in 3rd party books but now I am drawing a blank.

[Bakkan]

I have never seen one in hardback books (and I have at least looked though just about all of them). There may be some in Dragon Magazine. The fact is that D&D 3.5 assumes an earlier level of technology than does Pathfinder, for example, and so firearms are essentially nonexistent in almost all 3.5 settings and hence rulebooks.

[Darth Stabber]

Fighter, he can blow a feat on the ewp, and then just build him up like you would an archer.

[Telonius]

Cleric could probably pull it off with a permissive DM. Invent a cause or deity with a firearm as its favored weapon, and take the War domain.

Sounds like something garl glittergold would get behind (though he lacks war domain). Erythnul would probably love the idea of chunks of hot lead battering through flesh and bone, tearing apart everything on it's way to the other side.

Pathfinder has Gunslinger. It's compatible with 3E. You'll have to convert the class skills to 3E and any combat maneuver deeds to 3E's system but otherwise should work the same.

In Faerun, IIRC, Gond, god of inventions had clerics that knew how to make "smoke-powder" (weaker version of gun powder). That's closest that I'm aware of.

The Techsmith is a prestige class that gains proficiency with Firearms, I believe its in Faiths and Pantheons which is 3.0 with no update in 3.5 so 3.5 legal.

They have to worship Gond, but they also use explosives and have a sidekick Gondsman (robot, that isn't awesome, but not useless either).

There is a feat in dragon magazine 306 pg 98 iirc called secret of the firebrands for paladins to make and use black powder weapons.

You could also be an artificer and reflavor wands of the orbs, magic missile, fireball, etc you make to be rifles, pistols, RPGs, etc.

Its supposed to be compatible.. Its not really compatible. To much fiddly stuff changed. Then again, i dont like paizo at all.

That's why you use the class, and not the entire damn ruleset. I'm not sure if you get what "compatible with this other game" means.

[Telonius]

Another possibility: UA's Weapon Group proficiencies, use "Firearms" as a group of exotic weapons.

[Person_Man]

It's a dead end. Ranged weapons in general are a terrible Feat sink (Point Black Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, etc) for minimal return. You're better off with gun shaped wands or homebrew.

If the OP's looking for 3rd party options, I think every major publisher has thrown something out in the way of firearms support, but I believe PF (already mentioned), Privateer's Iron Kingdoms and AEG's Swashbuckling Adventures (basically 7th Sea d20) probably have the most/most interesting materials.

[ShadowFireLance]

Be a Air Elemental, now Become immune to fire Damage.
Then Form a Mini Tarnado, And have a party member pour Gun powder in your funnel.
Light on fire in middle of enymes.
*Put on :smallcool:*

[Zombimode]

Not a base class, but a PRC: the Kensai.

Choose your arms as your signature weapon, put on the flaming enchantment.

There, firearms :smallcool:

[ShadowFireLance]

That made me laugh so hard....:smallwink:

May I sig that?

[Zombimode]

Sure, if horrible puns are your thing... :smalltongue:

Praise Gond and pass the ammunition! :smalltongue:

Here is a homebrew NPC class someone made for firearms: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222840

[weckar]

I know there was SOMETHING like this in Spelljammer, but that never got properly converted...

Erythnul would probably love the idea of chunks of hot lead battering through flesh and bone, tearing apart everything on it's way to the other side.Tormenta has Tenebra, goddess of the night, the undead and the underground dwellers. She created the dwarves and recently the development of gunpowder.

I found one:
3rd Edition - Ronin Arts - Supplement - Forgotten Archetypes - The Gunslinger

[shortround]

Targeteer Fighter from Dragon Magazine gets two proficiencies with any two exotic ranged weapons, doesn't it? Away from book right now.
