abilities similar to fighter
multiple shots at higher levels
pistols are like higher damage / quicker crossbows
does there need to be a limit to how many shells they can carry, maybe by level?

All gunfighters use very rare, 6-shot firearms with rotating cylinders called Pistols.

Weapon	Weight	Damage	Properties
Pistol	5 lbs	1d8	Loud, Missile (5’–80’ / 81’–160’ / 161’–240’)

Loud: The first use of missile attack triggers a complication check.
- Also causes untrained animals (and some smaller humanoids, 2HD or less) to make a morale check or flee.

Pistol ammo is exceedingly rare, and its creation is a secret known only to gunfighters.

Each piece of ammo is called a bullet, and is made from an outer steel shell, an inner metal (or stone) slug, and mix of minerals which create the fire that propels the slug out of the barrel of the pistol.
- Shells are usually collected and reused, although some blacksmiths may be able to make new shells (at a steep price).
- Other required components can usually be foraged / harvested from the environment.
Starting gunslingers begin with 6 + level bullets.
Creating new ammo from component parts takes 1 hour to make a number of bullets equal to the gunfighter's level.

Starting at level 5, gains Dual Wielding while holding either two Pistols, or one Pistol and a light weapon.
