Tell me more about these “spells”, which occur in limited numbers, are capable of long-range attacks, deal explosive & powerful damage… and can only be performed by someone who has the proper equipment and spends time in advance preparing them for use? :-D
I loved Outlaw Star! Such cool world building!
Why does this remind me of a lightsaber? Oh yes I see, it is the personal love and craftsmanship of its construction, noice:-D.
An elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
More civilized than now, that’s for sure, sigh:-(.
This is the 2nd time today that I’ve ran across a caster on Lemmy & I’m loving it!

no… no! Don’t remind me of Outlaw Star!
I’ll need to watch it again! It’s been so very long. It is such a core part of my aesthetic & genre preferences since I first saw it as a teenager, but I haven’t seen it in a good while.
Damn, Harry Dresden is not aging well.
I admit I stopped at about book five, but I don’t remember Harry ever using a gun.
He definitely does, but I think it fades in and out of use at times. Even in Storm Front I believe he has a .38 Special. Later books I think it’s a .44 Magnum.
Even later so he gets finger guns: >!Arctis!<
sighs Pulls out D&D character sheet.
5E’s semi-official gunslinger uses wisdom instead of intelligence, so unless you have a GM willing to let you make a wis-casting wizard you might want to go cleric instead. I think that swapping casting stats should be allowed in a lot of situations anyway, and not only because wis-ard is a funny pun, but I’m aware that this isn’t a universal opinion. Forge cleric would let you make your gun magic and ask god for ammunition with only two levels though
Wizard with a gun is fun and all, but praising blessed ammunition tickles a different set of fancies.
Artificer would work too though. Arcane spells, flamethrower, and pistol. Call it the 'Namancer. Let the Artificer upgrade it as their wand for Arcane firearm and burst fire a number of shots identical to cantrip scaling.
Hold on. I need to go write this up. I feel some Duality of Man helmet graffiti coming on…
Born 2 Cast&Blast
Please keep updated
Shouldn’t a gunslinger be a Dexterity based class?
For the most part it is. But it uses wisdom as its secondary stat, so if you pick a non-wis caster class you’re going to have to split your ASIs up a lot
I think pathfinder has at least 3 ways to build wizard-with-a-gun
See Dresden and Sandman Slim
Unfortunately a mediocre, rushed game.
Artificer is in the house I see…
Ballistomancer
I’ve heard about a spellsword would this be a spell rifle?
Warglock
Magnumancer
7 shot, with a septagram carved on the barrel
Gattlemage
I vote for Wizgun.
The Spifleman’s Creed
Dissolusionist.
Dresden Files. They never expect the .45
Is this an American remake of lord of the rings?
Skip the whole two tower nonsense by Gandalf shooting Saruman in the dick.
Saruman probably: That’s not the sound of a man who was shot in the dick.

Harry Dresden approves this message
Yeah! Thanks, you were a bit faster. :-D
I’m waiting for people to just mod a fucking .45 Caliber into Baldurs Gate 3 so I can blast Gortash in his fucking head the first time I see him
Try Arcanum if you havent
Shoulda checked like 3 weeks ago. They had you sorted already.
I am so much ready for Artificer dlc. I am ready with every fiber of my being
