#triggerbrand

Very excited to start a new PF2e campaign with Monster Hunter inspiration, get to try the new Triggerbrand Gunslinger way straight out of the box. I'd like to see D&D let you play a buff werewolf alchemical engineer with a GUNBLADE who shoots potions out of said GUNBLADE! You know, rules as written no changes needed.

Man it fucking sucks to read through Triggerbrand, the new gunslinger way from PF2e’s Impossible Lands, and realize that  1) Combination weapons fucking suck holy shit 2) The most exciting part of this gunslinger way is getting a feat GUNSLIGNER ALREADY HAD 2 levels sooner 3) The Way by itself otherwise fails to actually fix combination weapons, and the reload is overly restricted by forcing you to move TOWARDS the enemy 4) The 9th and 15th level deeds are both bafflingly underwhelming and do not actually seem that worth it at all 5) I hate the interact action I hate the interact action I hate the interact action I hate- Honestly I could probably make Triggerbrand much less maddening by making its special reload just be “Do any of the following in any order a Step in any direction you otherwise could, Interact to change weapon mode, interact to reload”. Then change level 9 to like, shit I dunno man, make it something like a combination weapon mode swap+get 1/2 level THP until your next turn, we all know this Way exists to be Thancred. Level 15 deed should just be Triggerbrand Blitz and delete the once per minute and “are fatigued after use” parts, because it’s just “Drifter’s Wake but worse” for some reason??? Then give it a new level 14 feat. I don’t really care what honestly You could make it a defensive stance or something. You could then go fix Triggerbrand AND Drifter by making Dual-Weapon Reload a passive effect instead of a new action, and making Sword and Pistol cause reloading and changing a combination weapon’s mode to ALSO not provoke reactions
