Gun Skald (Skald/Gunslinger)

While most skalds are trained in the oral traditions, a select few deeply immerse themselves in their tribal lore, enabling them to draw upon the heroic deeds of ages past and bolster themselves in battle. Trained in the use of firearms, the gun skald emulates the ancient deeds of heroes long gone to strike down his foes and pierce their defenses from afar. Through his raging song, he performs these deeds with eloquence while preserving his own heroics in poetic verse. (Original Concept by Lindley Court)
