Samurai with a Gun (Samurai Archetype)

Some samurai understand that in order to master the blade, one must first master strictly better weaponry.

Samurai with a Gun (Ex): At 1st level, the samurai with a gun gains the gunslinger gunsmith ability, granting them a battered firearm of their choice (blunderbuss, musket or pistol) as well as the Gunsmithing feat as a bonus feat. The samurai with a gun is also proficient with one type of firearm of their choice (most often the same type of firearm chosen with this class feature).

Gritted Teeth, Iron Resolve (Ex): At 1st level, the samurai with a gun gains the grit class feature, as the gunslinger class feature. The samurai with a gun uses their Charisma modifier in place of their Wisdom modifier for these purposes.

A samurai with a gun must spend 2 grit points whenever they would expend a use of resolve.

In addition to the normal ways the samurai with a gun could recover grit, the samurai with a gun may recover grit the following ways:

  • Critical Hit against a Challenged Target: Each time the samurai with a gun confirms a critical hit with an attack against a target under the effects of their challenge ability, they regain 1 grit point.
  • Killing Blow against a Challenged Target: When the samurai with a gun reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points, and that creature was under the effects of their challenge ability, they regain 1 grit point.

The samurai with a gun does not regain grit points if the creature is helpless or unaware, or has fewer Hit Dice than half of the samurai with a gun’s character level.

This alters resolve.
