View Full Version : [PF]Spellslinger builds and Quick-Clear Deed?

I'm bouncing around character builds for a game I'm probably joining in December. Basic concept is a member of an order that regulates gun usage. Mixing arcane knowledge with sanctioned firearm usage.

I've got a few possible candidates, depending on optimization levels.

1) Arcane Trickster builds of wildly varying optimizations and roles.

2) Eldritch Knight with Spellslinger/Gunslinger Entry, optimized for blasting (yes, yes, I know. God-wizard builds are better overall).

3) Myrmidarch Magus, specialized for gun usage.



Anyways.... this leads to my big question: Spellslinger's gun/s will gain the Broken condition if a spell is fired out of them if:

A) The attack roll of a spell is a natural 1 (Misfire)

B) An enemy rolls a natural 20 on the saving throw (Overload).


So: With Amateur Gunslinger and the Quick-Clear deed, can you clear a spellcasting misfire with the deed? Or is that considered a separate type of broken, simply sharing the same name?

There's no text distinguishing the two sources of misfires for the deed so it'd work with either. Quick clear won't fix an overload though.

What he said.
Although if you ask really nice, the DM may let you Quick-Clear overloads as well.

And as stupid as it seems, 1 level of Pit Fighter (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/n-r/pit-fighter) can solve ALL of your 'broken' issues for the duration of the battle, all for 1 measly Swift action.
