[edit] Gun Mage
The Gun Mage is an expert in both the use of his firearm and the arcane. He uses magic to augment both himself and his weapon, making him a formidable foe.
[edit] Making a Gun Mage
The Gun Mage excels at dealing damage. His high-power pistol packs enough punch to deal with most foes, and should he find the lethality of his firearm in question, a bullet laced wth arcane energies is the answer. The typical Gun Mage is also quite intelligent, being versed in at least a moderate amount of Arcane Lore. He's quick and he's cunning - he's deadly and he's precise.
However, he does have his shortcomings. The Gun Mage is incredibly fragile. He's a glass cannon - although he can deal massive amounts of damage, he can hardly take any. His skill in melee combat is lacking and he's not as knowledgable as most magic-users.
A Gun Mage should never be looked at as the sole combatant of a group. His damage output does make him an excellent duelist - but he cannot hope to hold the front line by himself. He can whittle down foes before they meet with the stronger more melee-oriented members of the group and he can counter enemies that harass the group from a range.
Abilities: Dexterity comes first for a Gun Mage - it helps him aim and helps him dodge - it is the basis for both his offense and his defense. The second most important stat for a Gun Mage is his Intelligence; it improves his ability to enchant his own weapon and many other class features of his are based off it.
Races: Any race with acess to both technology and magic is able to produce a Gun Mage. With that being said, it is much more common to find a Human or a Gnome as a Gun Mage than an Orc.
Alignment: Gun Mages usually originate from colleges where they study magic or have a military background. In some cases an older Gun Mage decided to take on an apprentice to pass down his knowledge. With such a variety of different backgrounds, no Gun Mage has quite the same outlook or alignment as another.

[edit] Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Gun Mage.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Gun Mage is proficient with all light armor, all simple weapons, and with one-handed firearms (unless otherwise prohibited by the DM).
Magic Bullet: A Gun mage can infuse his ammunition with powerful arcane energies that explode upon impacting their target. Using Magic Bullet is a full-round action for a Gun Mage, and it requires one of his hands to be free. As
It is a ranged attack so it does provoke an attack of oppurtunity
