YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!1!!
Not every person wielding a gun is a Gunslinger. Gunslingers are however, the most Foolish, Determined and Skillful of those who wield firearms.
There are 3 types of Gunslingers:
The Tricksters, who are all about showing off thier skill and doing stupid things with firearms in a flashy but impressive manner.
The Nemesis, who focus on utilizing a jack of all trades aproach where they utilize thier equipment, items and tools with a mixture of stealth, defence and sheer oppresive force in combat.
The Captains, who lead thier teams into combat with a focus on balancing thier support options and thier high damage attacks.
Equipment
Gunslingers are known for using a fair share of equipment, this can range from home-made explosives to premium quality tools.
In the stead of Potalurgy, gunslingers often attach devices called Channels to thier firearms. When a gemstone or glass orb infused with a type of Effix or Potalurgic spell, is placed inside a Channel, the spell becomes infused into the Channel. When a switch on the Channel is flipped, the next shot the gunslinger fires will be infused with that type of Potential. The Gemstones and Glass orbs are not destroyed by this process but, do loose thier Potalurgical charge.
Gunslingers utilize a share of items to help them in combat, they often make these items themselves or purchase them from specialised merchants.
