    Default Iron kingdoms - Gun mage

    Why are they so terrible? Cool concept but I would be better off taking a few levels of this then going into that sorc variant with 3/4 BA and martial weapon prof. The DM wont let me switch up the spell list to include those awesome orb conjuration spells im at a loss what to do with this guy other then the sorc levels.

    I 100% disagree with that, but thats just me. The idea of playing a dual pistol paladin kicking ass for his deity is pretty bad ass.

    Yeah, but they already made an anime about that guy. Vash the Stampede.

    I'm not sure that trope applies to the Iron Kingdoms. I think the problem with Sorc's is that you get hosed in the IK because of the limits on magic in the setting.

    Ive not had any issue with them and other people that Ive played with who have played one haven't

    If your going to go with the Battle Sorcerer why not just take all the levels in it and take a EWP: Small Arms feat (which gives you both Pistols and Rifles over the Gun mage's Pistol only)

    Ive a Player in my Game atm who is playing a Greylord Gunmage with his sights set on Rifleman (a Arcane Widowmaker in effect)
