Tell me more about these "spells", which occur in limited numbers, are capable of long-range attacks, deal explosive & powerful damage... and can only be performed by someone who has the proper equipment and spends time in advance preparing them for use? :-D
Why does this remind me of a lightsaber? Oh yes I see, it is the personal love and craftsmanship of its construction, noice:-D.
no... no! Don't remind me of Outlaw Star!
I'll need to watch it again! It's been so very long. It is such a core part of my aesthetic & genre preferences since I first saw it as a teenager, but I haven't seen it in a good while.
5E's semi-official gunslinger uses wisdom instead of intelligence, so unless you have a GM willing to let you make a wis-casting wizard you might want to go cleric instead. I think that swapping casting stats should be allowed in a lot of situations anyway, and not only because wis-ard is a funny pun, but I'm aware that this isn't a universal opinion. Forge cleric would let you make your gun magic and ask god for ammunition with only two levels though
Wizard with a gun is fun and all, but praising blessed ammunition tickles a different set of fancies.
Artificer would work too though. Arcane spells, flamethrower, and pistol. Call it the 'Namancer. Let the Artificer upgrade it as their wand for Arcane firearm and burst fire a number of shots identical to cantrip scaling.
Hold on. I need to go write this up. I feel some Duality of Man helmet graffiti coming on...
For the most part it is. But it uses wisdom as its secondary stat, so if you pick a non-wis caster class you're going to have to split your ASIs up a lot
