The Eldritch Gunslinger is a master of ranged combat, particularly with firearms. Through birth, ritual, or curse, they have been imbued with dark magic in one way or another, not capable of fully harnessing that power without their catalyst firearm as the magic is mysterious and hard to control. The Eldritch Gunslinger roam from town to town looking for trouble or adventure, forever tied to their Catalyst firearm, some gaining honor and fame and others wealth and infamy.
- A grizzled human walks into a rundown looking tavern, a gang of marauders have claimed this old building as their headquarters. Everyone stares at the mysterious stranger, he pulls out a wanted poster that reads dead or alive. The marauders jump up blades drawn and rush the human. He draws his firearm and fans the hammer, flashes of green and black roar out of the barrel, an eldritch blast striking each target.
- A hooded elf sits at her campfire, working on her cursed sawed-off. Carving runes into the barrel and speaking forgotten words, her eyes are black and shadows leak from her mouth. The campfire turns a pale blue color and the ruins on the barrel begins to glow. She carves the last ruin and the fire goes out. She walks into the nearby cave, foul sounds emitting from it, she fires two shots, blue flames rip from the barrel.
- An old dragon born adjusts her scope, zeroing in on her target. A fat duke rides a horse with his envoy in tow down the city street, his citizens cheering as he passes. The dragonborn whispers a few words and her rifle begins to hiss oozing eldritch shadows. As the duke stops to wave to his subjects, she fires a single round. As if time has slowed, the bullet strikes the duke and he falls from his horse turning to ashes on the ground. The dragonborn walks away in the distance.
'Some are born to it. Some have to earn it. Some are cursed to bear it...Power.'
'For some, they feel the itch crawl down their arm and into their fingers. Like a fuse sparking its way to the powder keg. Too wild and powerful to control left to its own devices. More of a danger to themselves than anything. But give that unbridled power a focus...a catalyst to direct it, that's something to put the fear of the gods into a man. Many take up a staff, a wand, or some other damn trinket. Does the trick, but not much of a weapon to me...No, I prefer something with a bit more bang.'
'Not much to say really. I had to kill him...I needed it. It was the only way out I seen. The only way I could live. So really, he had to die. So I stabbed 'em, and once it was done, I picked up his gun and...I heard it speak. I know it sounds crazy but the damn thing spoke to me. Said I was worthy to bear it. Then a bright green flash followed by shadows enveloped me. Hurt like hell, skin felt like it was searing. Guess I passed out, but when I woke up I had the gun still in my hands, and every last one of those damn guards were dead. I aimed at the sky and pulled the trigger and felt it flow through me. I shot a Eldritch Blast out of the barrel. Couldn't do that before...It was definitely worth it.'
'So there I was in the main hall of this old Dwarven ruin, Kicking ass and taking names. At least 20, maybe it was 50 constructs were surrounding us. The freaking barbarian was crying, the wizard was shaking, and the sexy bard was looking to me for answers. I turn to her and was like, Hey I got this babe, and I twirl my revolver like a bad ass, pull the trigger, and click. I was completely out of bullets! It was a fiasco, but then I notice a dusty ol' hunk of junk hand cannon on the ground under a pile of rubble. I leap for it and pick it up, shit you not, it had 4 rounds in it. I fired it and Boom! A freaking fireball blasts a group of them to scraps. I spin around real cool and fan the hammer and 3 more fireballs come roaring out. I single handedly took out all the walking clankers. Everyone was like whoa you're so cool, and the sexy bard was all like you're my hero. And I was like yeah I know baby. Yeah, hah, good times. Turns out that hand canon was super cursed by some Demon Lord or something, and I guess he owns my soul now, and I can't really get rid of the gun, but hey I can enchant my bullets with eldritch magic now so comes out even if you ask me.'

Beginning at 1st level, upon successful Intimidation check, you may gain 1 Grit point.
- Revel in Carnage
Beginning at 3rd level, When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, You gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier, plus your Eldritch Gunslinger level (Minimum of 1)
- Horde Breaker
At 7th level, Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon.
- Unstoppable Destruction
At 17th level, you can increase the power of your simpler spell shots. When you fire a Eldritch Gunslinger spell shot of 3rd level or lower that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell. The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect. If you use this feature again before you finish a long rest, you take 2d12 necrotic damage for each level of the spell, immediately after you fire it. Each time you use this feature again before finishing a long rest, the necrotic damage per spell level increases by 1d12. This damage ignores resistance and immunity

- Notes
- Not all the items in the Equipment table have to be used. It is ultimately up to the DM to decide which items to add. Recommended items: pistol, revolver, musket, and blunderbuss.
- A bayonet can be attached to any two-handed firearm. While attached, if an enemy is within 5 feet, the user may choose to attack with the attached bayonet rather than the firearm. Bayonets may also be used unattached to anything as a melee weapon.
- A gunpowder horn is for carrying gunpowder in bulk. full powder horn can hold 30 powder.
- Powder is only required as a crafting requirement for ammunition.
- In this case, “Ammunition” is the general term for all firearm rounds, including musket balls, scatter shells, brass cartridges, etc.

@JeremyECrawford Eldritch Blast: are the attacks resolved in parallel or sequence? Do you have to pick all the targets first before rolling?
— Jeremy Soard (@JeremySoard) June 26, 2015
Multiple attacks on the same turn aren’t simultaneous, unless a feature or spell says otherwise. https://t.co/6AHqYOcXKD

@lawrencehoyWhy can’t sequential Eldritch Blasts be dispelled; while the caster is choosing targets of sequential blasts? Inconsistant! Counterspell (PH, 228) does work against eldritch blast.
