A reason that has more value than the (3) other characters in your party have for their backstories considering their starting monetary value. By Robbery, Duel, or Inheritance, I need the scene it was given to you in explained or written down to or by me and any NPC's involved. 2: It may take ingenuity to gain more than starting ammunition throughout the game. But it will be possible.

Unless I'm mistaken, you can use focused aim even on a Nat 1....So the maths works out as either 2 attacks that both hit (plus 1d4 as you'd add the bonus damage on the 2nd attack when it hits), or 3 attacks but 1 with only a ~10% chance of hitting (depending on AC)......this actually narrows your potential damage range making it super consistent.

Being said, while monks are proficient in all simple weapons, only simple melee weapons and shortswords count as monk weapons. It only makes a difference at monk 1 because of dedicated weapon, and doesn't change your numbers at all, thus why it's nit-picky. And sorry for the long comment.

Id recommend battlemaster instead. Precision for when you miss (super useful with sharpshooter) and quick toss when you run out of ki and want to bonus action throw a dart (works with sharpshooter) which you would obviously flaver as a ninja star.

I think a Four Elements gun monk could be worth reviewing. Fangs of the Fire Snake lets you make two ranged attacks in one turn at levels 3-4 by spending 1 ki. Not insane, but that's pretty good rate of fire at that level. Plus, at level 6, you can cast Hold Person twice/short rest while making a monk attack as a bonus action. Grab a musket, pick up rogue levels... BAM!

Love this build Colby, I'm playing a Gunk/ fighter. Custom Lineage for Gunner. Sharpshooter at monk4. I'm loving playing this character. I should have taken Kensai monk.

Great build yet again! The fog smokebomb made me think of artificier and never having to buy supplies for gunpowder and ammunition. Feats kinda ruin repeating shot though.

Swarmkeeper gives Faerie Fire as a subclass spell, so that would probably be a lot more consistent than fog cloud, as cool as a smoke grenade might be.

Corey did fudge the dice and had the poison head attack you all the time ..... ;)

Love the gunkata build! In the worlds I play there are no guns, but the idea is neat. Beast barbarian / soulknife rogue (13)

A gunslinger build would be interesting to see I really like your channel

Super-Monk’y-Total-Gun-ki-extra-attack-gunner This is very similar to my BattleMaster/Kensei/Gloomstalker build. 1 level of fighter first, followed by 6 lvls of Monk, 3 more Fighter, 4 Ranger and then finish with Monk. It was a BugBear build for that first turn Nova damage but it has the gunner feat and Sharpshooter included still. Super fun to play.
