So I wanted to make a more gunslinger-y version of the ranger; and I'd like a bit of help.
New Build: Gunslinger Ranger
You excel in the use of firearms, and though a ranged fighter, you are versatile enough to be firing shot after shot in the heat of battle, and in close combat with your foes.
Much like the Archer Ranger, your main ability score should be Dexterity, as most of you attacks are ranged; yet Constitution is extremely important, as you are constantly in the middle of the fight. Wisdom, should be your tertiary ability score.
Suggested Feat: Two-Weapon Fighting (Human feat: Defensive Mobility)
Suggested Skills: Dungeoneering, Acrobatics, Endurance, Perception, Stealth
Suggested At-Will Powers: Close Combat Shot, Twin Strike
Suggested Encounter Power: Trick Shot
Suggested Daily Power: Shoot and Strike
Gunslinger Style
You gain a +2 AC against any opportunity attacks provoked by firing a ranged weapon when adjacent to an enemy. You may also treat one handed ranged weapons as having the off-hand property. You also gain the Quick Draw feat, even if you do not meet the prerequisites. When attacking enemies within 5 squares of you, you gain a +1 bonus to damage ranged attacks, and this bonus is +2 when adjacent to enemies.
At-Will Powers
Close Combat Shot Ranger Attack 1
You can fire right into the face of the enemy…
At-will ✦ Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Ranged Weapon
Requirement: Ranged Weapons only
Target: One Creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 1[W]; at 21st level increases to 2[W]
Special: If adjacent to an enemy, you do not provoke an opportunity attack for using a ranged weapon.
Encounter Powers
Trick Shot Ranger Attack 1
Even wild shots aren’t so wild.
Encounter ✦ Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Ranged Weapon
Requirement: Ranged Weapons only
Target: One Creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] + Dexterity modifier damage
Special: You gain a power bonus equal to your wisdom modifier on this attack.
Daily Powers
Shoot and Strike Ranger Attack 1
Your shots and strikes are an interchangeable flurry.
Daily ✦ Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Melee or Ranged Weapon
Requirement: You must be wielding two light blades, pistols, or a mix of both
Target: One creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC (main hand)
Hit: 2[W] + Dexterity modifier damage; Secondary Attack
Secondary Target: One adjacent creature
Secondary Attack: Dexterity vs. AC (off-hand)
Hit: 1[W] + Dexterity modifier damage
Special: If adjacent to an enemy, you do not provoke an opportunity attack for using a ranged weapon.
I have some issues with the actual gunslinger style, I want some input... and I'd like some suggestions for more powers; as it seems that in the upcoming Martial Powers book, there's a lot more variant powers... thanks.
