This is a Gunslinger style for 5A.

A bushwacker is focused on small force ambushes, shooting a volley or two and, if this is not successful, get out fast. Bushwackers fill the roles of guerillas, bandits, and hunters.

Greyhawk Bushwackers are rare. Gunslingers are still unusual and elite, there are simply not enough gunslingers to take up arms as guerillas or bandits.

Subclass Features

Cunning Action

Starting at 3rd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Prowler

At 3rd level when you choose this style, you learn Stealth. If you already know this skill, you learn Acrobatics, Athletics, Perception, or Survival instead.

Bushwacking

At 6th level, when you make an attack against an opponent who is surprised or cannot see you, you add your devastation bonus to the attack. Even with an attack that is not a firearm, you still add your devastation bonus to the attack. If this is a firearm attack, this means you double your devastation bonus.

Shoot and Scoot

At 10th level, when you have an ally of the attacker within 5 feet of you, you have three-quarters cover, but only against ranged and area attacks. This grants you a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws against ranged and area attacks. This does not stack with other cover, such as that granted by the Gunsmoke feature.

Wrecker

At 10th level you gain the ability to demolish things.

  • You can always use Bushwacking against any unattended object or construction.
  • When making a Strength (Athletics) check to open, move, or destroy an object or construction, you have advantage.
  • You can take an action to use a firearm to destroy a know a trap or lock within 10 feet using an attack roll as if it was Dexterity (Thief's Tools). On a success, the trap or lock is irreparably destroyed. If you fail this check against a trap, it triggers. If it fails against a lock, any attempt to use Thief's Tools on this lock suffers disadvantage.

Shoot and Scoot

At 15th level, when you use Stand and Deliver, your speed is not reduced. You still cannot move before you attack to gain advantage.
