Gunslinger

Bodies drop to the floor, one after another. The man wearing the heaviest armor scrambles to figure out what is going on. Could it be a magic attack? Hundreds of meters away a man lies upon an outcropping of rocks with his rifle propped up against the earth. He peers down the scope, "Like fish in a barrel."

A shadow grows around the person, encroaching upon his figure and shadowing out their features. The band of orcs spring to attention, the approacher appears to be unarmed. As the figure raises their hand a fizz of flames and a weapon materializes into their hand as they begin to let off a barrage of bullets tearing through the camp of orcs.

A hook flies past the colossus, and from around the corner comes a tiefling woman laughing hysterically, before the massive colossus can even react, she flies past him planting the barrel of her hand cannon onto his temple and painting the wall with his brains. She zips back around the corner cutting down the rest of his men with her blade before landing and taking a moment to reload.

"We've figured out your little trick, so come out." the taunting coming from a member of an elven guard, "without being able to see us, you can't shoot." the wide cavern divides the guards from the woman with the gun. They stand in silence for a moment before they hear the distinct crack of the firearm, prompting the elf guard leader to chuckle. Behind him the bullet stalls in the air and whips around the corner bending as if willing itself to be embedded into the elves skulls.

As smart as they are deadly, gunslingers are the ultimate ranged killers. They practice the art of the firearm, while some train in the lethal practice of killing, others combine their skills with weak magical abilities, and others again learn the form and shape of the firearm.

These rare and powerful weapons can only be obtained by the wealthiest or the most talented builders. This uniqueness of these weapons makes anyone who has one significantly more deadly, and gunslingers take this to the next level. No foe is safe within the range of a gunslinger.
