Zane Wesley Fisher's stats are rolled. Fecking IC froze on me a bunch, so I just took the most recent roll (luckily my best). 13/16/14/14/13/17 thus far.
So far, I'm just waiting to see if you allow that IK base class gunmage, which would make my build a pally 2 / GM 5. I'm probably gonna grab the pally acf from dragon 3-something (once I find it; I think it's on IC) that makes him only able to smite on ranged attacks (more limited than the elf acf I believe, but I don't have to be an elf that way
).
Would you want me to use the gun stats from the dmg, or the stats from IK? Also, I'm assuming that as I get them as bonus feats, the gun-related feats from IK are kosher.
His name is stolen from Zane Gray (western writer), John Wesley Hardin (a gunslinger known for killing upwards of 42 men), and King Fisher (another cowboy outlaw, was finally killed in an ambush from 13 shots). But that;s history...
[spoiler]...As for Zane Fisher here, he was once a roaming paladin, who did not feel behooven to uphold written laws, so much as the laws of what was right. He traveled across the frontier, meeting with other paladins, to right wrongs and free people from misery. One such time, he came upon a town where a bandit was known to drag his gang through, and he declared that he would find a way to drive out the bandits, as young and foolish as he was. While there, a man carrying strange guns, impressed by his courage, said that he would assist the youth, and together they set out to ambush the bandits as they came into town. He couldn't tell why, but every time he looked at the rifle the man carried, he felt more at ease, though also curious and envious of something he couldn't put his finger on. The two hit it off well, and agreed to travel together once the job was done.
The day the bandit gang came to town, a grand battle ensued, and in the fire and melee, Zane was almost killed. Before he could be finished by the last three bandits, the man he had paired with leapt to his defense, and taking many a wound while the paladin fought to heal himself stable, defeated the last three bandits. However, his wounds were grave, and Zane knew he had no way of assisting the man. As Zane held the dying man, he was surprised when he was handed the rifle that had been used by the mysterious gunslinger. Though he never did know any name other than the man's last name, Garrett, he was told by Mr. Garrett, on his dying breath, "you must learn, you're one of us now. Fight the good fight..." The man, Garrett, died smiling, and Zane never could forget those words.
Eventually, he found his way to a smith who recognized the inherited rifle as a magelock rifle, and thus set Zane on his quest to discover his inner strength. Working as a wandering gunsmith, he fights to discover the extent of his gift, to discover his true abilities for helping others, to discover what made a dying man trust him like a son.
