Why No Gun Proficiency

Parent page Guns Characters

While most of the character options in this section provide benefits that are particularly useful or even specifically tailored for firearms, remarkably few of them outside of the gunslinger give a firearm-specific proficiency progression. You might be asking yourself why that is and there's a very simple answer: for the vast majority of characters, it isn't necessary.

Just like knives, swords, spears, and every other category of weapon, firearms come in simple, martial, and advanced variants. As long as a character has access to firearms, they're also likely to have a selection of firearms with which they are already proficient. Additionally, many of the character options in this section work equally well with crossbows as they do with firearms.
