In this part of the video, it explains the fifth level Gunslinger class feature related to gun training. If you are untrained with a pistol and it misfires, there’s a risk of the weapon exploding. The explosion emanates from a chosen corner of your square and deals damage within its radius based on the weapon type. Reloading firearms requires a free hand and provokes attacks of opportunity. Rapid reload feat is recommended for faster reloading. Different firearms have varying capacities for shots. Firearm attacks within the first range increment hit against touch AC. Touch attacks are not applicable beyond the first range increment.

Dragon’s breath rounds are introduced for scatter weapons like the dragon pistol and blunderbuss, causing non-magical fire damage. It is noted that most firearms deal both bludgeoning and piercing damage, which can help overcome enemy damage resistance. The availability of firearms in a Pathfinder campaign is left to the Dungeon Master’s discretion.
