I like it and I have running my gunslinger for about 2 years now. Although it is still quite effective, i will say sadly that combat with the sub-class can feel quite limited in terms of what you can do. Grit points can only get you so far and without feats like Sharpshooter or additional magic items that aid your gunplay, you are just doing the ol bang bang till they are dead. "I shoot it..." seems to be my catchphrase at this point. I would suggest taking Battlemaster with the Gunner feat. More versatile, can fire in melee range, the guns no longer have the "loading" property, and more and more powerful abilities. It's better but most of all, the battlemaster gives you plenty of incombat actions to take that far outweigh the gritpoint system.

Una subclase muy solida y con reglas bastante sencilla para implementar, siempre que tu DM permita el uso de armas en primer lugar. Excelente Trabajo

a solid archetype with solid art & mechanics have both DM'd for & played as a gunslinger and it can be both a blessing & a curse at times. i do love the formatting and the updates are good i love having a ranged option for fighters & incorporating misfires as a risk/reward system adds to its flavor.

Pros - Love the different properties of the various firearms including the variety of "called shots" (Trick Shots) combined with the Grit system as well as the misfire mechanic. I appreciate that the subclass is written suscinctly and as clear as possible (but I did have to reread some mechanics two or three times before they became clear and now I can't figure out how I didn't understand it the first time).

Cons - I appreciate that Matt sees how futuristic guns and gunpowder based weapons are in the typical 5e settings so some firearms need to be crafted and not simply bought (regardless of the rarity of the weapon). However to require a mechanic like crafting and then not actually have a system built with it painfully reminds me how poisons have been handled in 5e. Wish there was more to the crafting aspects! Conceptually great but implementation feels like it is only done half way.

My only issue is that the gunslinger feels spread across too many stats. A gunslinger needs to focus wis, dex, AND int to be effective. My gunslinger player felt he had to trade one aspect of his class to excel at the rest of it. Maybe sacrifice is your thing and this works for you! If not, it's good and fun in all aspects but this.

This Archetype is extremely good for a campaign where firearms are at an early stage of development. If you want to play a setting that is more technologically advanced i suggest you buff the gunslinger a bit (maybe a misfire score reduction or the possibility for the creation of weapons with higher capacity).

Very fair rules that make guns powerful but with a few drawbacks that could be expected. Some of the combos between feats and gunslinger abilities allower for "overpowered" attacks, but nothing too crazy in comparison to what the battlemaster can do. The 18th level abilities are insane, but they are level 18, and that's expected

Loving this archetype! I'm playing as a young gunslinger in Waterdeep, who holds the secrets of black powder (my DM knows nothing of CR, let alone Victor of Vasselheim!) and is hounded by his Guild Master to give up this information. Meanwhile, he is burdened with a portable forge in which ammunition is made and weapons are tinkered. Thank you so much Matt Mercer for making this accessible to all players.

We covered this amazing product in our Class Analysis on our podcast Crit Academy.(http://critacademy.libsyn.com/episode-105-class-analysis-matt-mercers-gunslinger) It is full of pure awesome! A great addition to the fighter archetype and a great way to introduce gunpowered, firearms and explosives into your game. We had fun breaking it down and discussing the mechanics and flavor of each feature. We love the new changes as well. A must have!

Pretty solid and balanced for a PF conversion. The only reason I gave it a shot was due to watching the playtesting of it live on Critical Role. A lot of fun in a group with a dedicated tank.

Apart from the subclass, this document also has great extra rules for using firearms that will help a lot with any campaign involving them.
