UNEXPECTED SHARPSHOOTER

ARCHETYPE

“Oh would you look at that, there’s a bunch of bullet holes around here... so that’s what all the ruckus was about! Six... seven... eight of you, huh? Oh, but did you notice the northern finch over there in that tree a minute ago? Its nest is up there, but I think all those gunshots startled it. You think you could quiet down so maybe it’ll come back?”

–Viri, gnome ornithologist, just before a series of strange accidents mysteriously took down a hardened bandit squad of eight former Alkenstar veterans.

Some people say you must be the luckiest soul in all of Golarion to still be alive and kicking after all the dangers you’ve seen. Others say that, given the circumstances and the number of foes who you’ve defeated seemingly by accident, that there’s no way you can really be as incompetent as you seem. These critics claim there has to be some kind of angle, some racket you’re running. Either way, you sure don’t look or act dangerous, except possibly to yourself.

Somehow, despite your apparent clumsiness, professed confusion, and known propensity to incite calamity, you find yourself standing after every battle. The same can’t often be said for your enemies. Funny how that works out, isn’t it?

TABLE 1: UNEXPECTED SHARPSHOOTER FEATS
Feat Names Level Skill
Feat		 Benefits
Unexpected Sharpshooter DedicationGG 2 – Who needs skill when you’ve got dumb luck? Sometimes your shots hit miraculously, regardless of the fact that you seemed to slip when you pulled the trigger or that you weren’t aiming at your foe when you fired.
Hit the Dirt!GG 4 – You fling yourself out of harm’s way.
Lucky EscapeGG 4 – Your enemy lies in wait, lines up the perfect shot, and pulls the trigger.
Risky ReloadGG 4 – You’ve practiced a technique for rapidly reloading your firearm, but attempting to use this technique is a dangerous gamble with your firearm’s functionality.
No Hard FeelingsGG 6 – Despite the devastation your weapons tend to inflict upon their targets or the destruction you might unleash upon an area, your foes still manage to walk away at the end of a fight—at least sometimes.
Huh? That Was a Close OneGG 7 ✓ You laugh innocently about the inexplicable luck of your last shot hitting its mark or how close the attack that just missed you came to taking your head off, causing your foes to second guess whether it’s a good idea to oppose you in battle.
Unbelievable LuckGG 8 – While no one, not even you, might appear to understand why, you demonstrate a greater ability to hit your targets regardless of the obstacles in your way.
I Meant to Do ThatGG 10 – Somehow your stray bullet causes an unintended reaction that creates a problem for your enemy: perhaps a ricochet knocks your foe’s weapon away or they stumble over stray debris in an attempt to dodge your bullets.
Trick ShotGG 10 – You shoot not at your foe but at an object nearby.
Unbelievable EscapeGG 10 – Your ability to narrowly evade danger defies all logic.
Chain ReactionGG 12 – You fire your gun once, creating a devastating and unpredictable chain of events; perhaps your bullet strikes exactly the right spot on a water tower, causing it to flood and incite a stampede of horses which knock over a lantern that sets a city on fire.
