Hey guys! So for my class I'm thinking of embracing the setting, and trying to construct something of Tech-styled Ranger hunter/ Sniper. The idea is he forged his own weapon, and as such, is constantly improving it from parts and upgrades, rather than replacing it? Think almost a Warcraft style hunter (with or without pet) with engineering. To balance out the class a little more, i think it makes sense to forgo the magic rangers usually get access to, and making it a more dexterity based martial class?
Secondly, as the refinery is set in the desert, he'll be an Orc/ Half orc nomadic wanderer.. surviving the harsh environment, trading in furs/ pelts/ salvage he has acquired with traders in the refinery.
I think the best frame for the character would be Ranger with firearms instead of bows? However there is a good home-brew gunslinger class on dndwiki that might be suitable or at least good or cannibalising ideas from?
