Gunslinger
By Kuseru
Entrance Requirements: No Attribute or Alignment Restrictions.
Skill Cost: 5 Years (3 Years as a Secondary Martial Art Style)
An expert in handguns, quick-drawing and sharpshooting, a Gunslinger is effectively a mercenary for hire who specializes in protection, enforcement (of the law or criminal operations through intimidation and killing) and murder. They are often hired by criminal organizations, wealthy land owners and businessmen, and other groups as an assassin, enforcer, or hit man.
A Gunslinger's two greatest weapons are his handguns and reputation. By training with their handguns in the skills of quick-drawing and sharpshooting, they have improved their weapon skills. By using these improved weapon skills, they develop a reputation which may be used just as much as the guns to end a conflift through intimidation, presence, threat, or any other means. Of course, the gunslinger isn't afraid to use his guns either.
Costume: Likes to wear tinted goggles or sunglasses, quality cowboy hat, set of riding clothes, a rich quality suit (fancy and expensive) for town - Gunslingers tend to be very stylish dressers.
Stance: Feet shoulder width apart, body facing the target. Hands positioned over or near the holster(s) containing the pistol(s) or revolver(s).

Why Study Gunslinger?
Because of the total lack of mental training, against a chi master or similar opponent, this style is at a disadvantage, but against untrained opponents, it is extremely deadly. The only weakness of the form is against multiple attackers. It tends to be very aggressive, and poor defensively. This style is an extremely deadly art with a weapon.

NOTE 1: All of the gun styles use their superior level advancement bonuses in place of the weapon proficiency bonuses for modern weapons.

NOTE 2: Gun Styles use these Modern Combat Rules.

NOTE 3: Gun Styles use these Modern Weapon Proficiencies.
