Commando
System: Pathfinder | SRD | Type: Subclass (Archetype) of Gunslinger
Commandos are those rough and ready gunslingers who excel at hit-and-run tactics and leveraging their expertise in the wild against their enemies.
Class Abilities
Class Skills (addition)
A commando gains Knowledge (geography), Knowledge (nature), and Stealth as class skills instead of Knowledge (engineering), Knowledge (local), and Sleight of Hand. This alters the gunslinger’s class skills.
Deeds (addition)
A commando gains the following deeds; each of these deeds replaces an existing deed. Trap Shot (Ex) : At 3rd level, the commando can spend 1 point of grit and target a 5-foot square with her firearm. If she succeeds at an attack against an AC of 10, she triggers a single trap within that 5-foot square, even if she is unaware of the trap. If there are multiple traps within the same 5-foot square, the commando must declare which trap she is triggering; otherwise it is determined randomly. If a creature is occupying the same square as the triggered trap, the trap affects the creature as if it had triggered the trap. This deed replaces utility shot. Sniping Shot (Ex) : At 11th level, the commando can spend 1 point of grit as a swift action to negate the –20 penalty on Stealth checks when sniping until the start of her next turn. This deed replaces expert loading. Camouflage (Ex) : At 11th level, as long as the commando has 1 point of grit, she gains the camouflage ranger class feature. This deed replaces lightning reload. Hide in Plain Sight (Ex) : At 15th level, as long as the commando has 1 point of grit, she gains the hide in plain sight ranger class feature. This deed replaces slinger’s luck.
Favored Terrain (Ex) (addition)
At 2nd level, a commando gains the favored terrain ranger class feature. At 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the commando can pick an additional favored terrain. This replaces nimble.
Track (Ex) (addition)
At 4th level, a commando adds half her level on Survival checks to follow tracks. This replaces the bonus feat gained at 4th level.
Trapsmith (addition)
At 5th level, a commando can learn how to create one ranger trap in place of gaining the next level of gun training. A commando can use a known trap a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom bonus (minimum 1). The DC for a commando’s trap is equal to 10 + half her commando level + her Wisdom bonus, and it lasts 1 day per 2 levels she has. A commando can set only extraordinary ranger traps with this ability; as with extraordinary ranger traps, the trap DC for these traps has a –2 penalty. This alters gun training.
