=== Glass-eye Morant ===
''A weather-beaten gunman with a prosthetic eye made of polished quartz. He holds a long, beautifully carved musket as if it were a limb. He doesn't aim; he simply decides what dies.''

* '''Grit Deeds (Musket Master):'''
** ''Deadeye:'' Target Touch AC beyond first range increment (costs 1 grit).

** ''Bleeding Wound:'' Deal Con/Dex/Str bleed damage.
** ''Lightning Reload:'' Reload as swift/free action (redundant with Fast Musket, but prevents AoO).

'''----- Tactics -----''' '''The Executioner:''' Morant hits Touch AC, meaning he rarely misses.

# '''The Barrage:''' He uses ''Rapid Shot'' and ''Deadly Aim'' combined.
#* ''Calculation:'' Base +14, Dex +7, Weapon +2 (Enchant/Focus), PBS +1, Studied +1 = '''+25'''.
#* ''Modifiers:'' Deadly Aim (-4), Rapid Shot (-2). Total '''+19''' vs Touch AC.
#* ''Damage:'' 1d12 + 7 (Dex) + 8 (Deadly) + 1 (PBS) + 1 (Studied) + 1 (Weapon) = '''1d12+18'''.
#* ''Crit:'' If he confirms a crit (19-20), the x4 multiplier deals '''4d12+72''' damage in one shot.
# '''Distance Control:''' His musket has the ''Distance'' property, giving it a range increment of '''80 ft'''. He targets Touch AC up to 80 ft. With ''Deadeye'' (1 Grit), he can target Touch AC practically across the map.
# '''Targeting (Utility):''' If an enemy is flying, he uses the ''Targeting'' deed to shoot their wings, forcing a Fly check or they crash. If they are holding a McGuffin, he shoots their arm to disarm them.

=== Build Notes ===

* '''Musket Master 3:''' This archetype grants "Fast Musket," allowing him to treat 2-handed muskets as 1-handed for reloading speed. With the '''Rapid Reload''' feat and '''Paper Cartridges''', reloading becomes a '''Free Action'''. This is the only way to get a Full Attack with a Musket.
* '''Slayer Dip:''' The 3 levels of Slayer provide '''Studied Target''' (a flat math boost), a talent, and a little Sneak Attack. More importantly, it breaks the monotony of Gunslinger levels (which have diminishing returns after level 11) and boosts his Fort/Ref saves.
* '''Reliable Weapon:''' Muskets normally misfire on a 1-2. The ''Reliable'' enchantment reduces misfire value by 1. With paper cartridges increasing misfire by 1, they balance out, keeping his misfire low (1-2) or zero depending on the specific cartridge/enchant math (usually keeps it at 1). If he does misfire, he has the ''Quick Clear'' deed to fix it as a Move Action.
