The Weird West Chronicles

• Eternal Charge (Su): At 1st level, a wandslinger can expend 1 point of grit in place of a charge when casting a spell from a spell trigger item. This deed replaces Quick Clear.
• Focus Shot (Su): At 1st level, as long as he has 1 point of grit remaining a wandslinger may cast an area spell from a spell trigger item as a ranged touch spell, affecting a single target out to the spell's maximum range. If the spell's primary effect allowed a save it is removed, though saves for secondary effects remain. Spells which could affect the target multiple times affect them once and then end (eg. a wall of fire would damage the target once as if they had passed through it, but a web spell would keep the target grappled for the full duration). This deed may only be used with spells on his spell list. This deed replaces Deadeye.
• Full Power (Su): At 1st level, a wandslinger can expend 1 point of grit as he casts a spell from a spell trigger item to increase its caster level to his gunslinger level (if higher than its original caster level). This deed replaces Expert Loading.
• Point Blank Burst (Su): At 3rd level, a wandslinger may expend 1 point of grit to cast a spell from a spell trigger item as a ranged touch spell against an adjacent target. If it hits, both the target and the gunslinger also take 1d6 damage per two gunslinger levels you possess. This otherwise functions as the Focus Shot deed. This deed replaces Pistol-Whip.
• Wand Assault (Su): At 7th level, a wandslinger can expend 1 point of grit as part of a full attack, enabling him to cast spells from spell trigger items in place of attacks. This deed may only be used with spells on his spell list. This deed replaces Dead Shot.
• Quick Activation (Su): At 11th level, a wandslinger can expend 1 point of grit to cast a spell from a spell trigger or spell completion item as a swift action, as if the Quicken Spell metamagic feat had been applied to it. This deed replaces Lightning Reload.

Backstory

Namid is part of the Aikamekw tribe who lives at the border of the narrowest point of the “Desert of the Sinking Sands”
The Aikamekw is deeply spiritual. They believe themselves to be ambassadors sent to Earth on a mission to conserve and protect the life in the dessert. Their homeland is among the stars, on a different plane. As such, they hold regular communes with the spirits by practicing ancient rituals, which often involve the use of sand and dessert exotics. Through these rituals, they seek to understand their missions on Earth better.
Namid is, however, an outsider at his very home. He’s the son of the chieftain, which would normally make him the second most revered person in the tribe if it weren’t for his shameful origin. His father, Mapiya – the Sky – had a secret relationship with an elven maiden, about whom little is known. Namid was the fruit of their passion and for some untold reasons, Mapiya silently keeps the half-elf by his side, taking full care of the boy while his mother’s whereabouts remains unknown.
But others in the tribe do not share Mapiya’s love for the boy. People respect Mapiya too much to disobey him. But whatever discontent they have, they pour it down on the boy’s head. Namida’s natural curiosity and a penchant for all things mechanical do not help. The Aikamekw are supposed to obey the spirits’ orders, not question them. Namida on the other hand tends to point out the ambiguity, vagueness and unpredictability laden within the spirts’ words. He also spends a lot of time wandering around, talking to outsiders, studying nature or just simply gazing at the sky. Thus the people name him Namida or Sky Dancer.
Chief Mapiya has a daughter, Antinanco, with his legitimate wife. Antinanco is an epitome of a Aikamekw keeper – the Aikamekw’s spiritual leaders who directly commune with the spirit and pass down their messages to the people. Quiet, hardworking, charming and obedient, she, not Namida, was chosen last summer to be the youngest keeper of the tribe. The people love her and expect her to succeed her father when he becomes old and sickly.
Although they are vastly different people, Namida and his half-sister Antinanco get along more than well. Namida can often be found showing his sister the newest discovery or just sharing with her some new berries he has gathered on the other side of the hill. Antinanco knows her duty but she also loves her brother and doesn’t let others’ opinions about him affect her.

How joyous his neigh!
Lo, the Turquoise Horse of Johano-ai,
How joyous his neigh,
There on precious hides outspread, standeth he;
How joyous his neigh,
There of mingled waters holy, drinketh he;
How joyous his neigh,
There in mist of sacred pollen hidden, all hidden he;
How joyous his neigh,
These his offspring may grow and thrive forevermore;
How joyous his neigh!

Coyote Kills a Giant

Coyote was walking one day when he met Old Woman. She greeted him and asked where he was headed.

"Just roaming around," said Coyote.

"You better stop going that way, or you'll meet a giant who kills everybody."

"Oh, giants don't frighten me," said Coyote (who had never met one). "I always kill them. I'll fight this one too, and make an end of him."

"He's bigger and closer than you think," said Old Woman.

"I don't care," said Coyote, deciding that a giant would be about as big as a bull moose and calculating that he could kill one easily.

So Coyote said good-bye to Old Woman and went ahead, whistling a tune. On his way he saw a large fallen branch that looked like a club. Picking it up, he said to himself, "I'll hit the giant over the head with this. It's big enough and heavy enough to kill him." He walked on and came to a huge cave right in the middle of the path. Whistling merrily, he went in.

Suddenly Coyote met a woman who was crawling along on the ground.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"I'm starving," she said, "and too weak to walk. What are you doing with that stick?"

"I'm going to kill the giant with it," said Coyote, and he asked if she knew where he was hiding.

Feeble as she was, the woman laughed. "You're already in the giant's belly."

"How can I be in his belly?" asked Coyote. "I haven't even met him."

"You probably thought it was a cave when you walked into his mouth," the woman said, and sighed. "It's easy to walk in, but nobody ever walks out. This giant is so big you can't take him in with your eyes. His belly fills a whole valley."

Coyote threw his stick away and kept on walking. What else could he do?

Soon he came across some more people lying around half dead. "Are you sick?" he asked.

"No," they said, "just starving to death. We're trapped inside the giant."

"You're foolish," said Coyote. "If we're really inside this giant, then the cave walls must be the inside of his stomach. We can just cut some meat and fat from him."

"We never thought of that," they said.

"You're not as smart as I am," said Coyote.

Coyote took his hunting knife and started cutting chunks out of the cave walls. As he had guessed, they were indeed the giant's fat and meat, and he used it to feed the starving people. He even went back and gave some meat to the woman he had met first. Then all the people imprisoned in the giant's belly started to feel stronger and happier, but not completely happy. "You've fed us," they said, "and thanks. But how are we going to get out of here?"

"Don't worry," said Coyote. "I'll kill the giant by stabbing him in the heart. Where is his heart? It must be around here someplace."

"Look at the volcano puffing and beating over there," someone said.

"Maybe it's the heart."

"So it is, friend," said Coyote, and began to cut at this mountain.

Then the giant spoke up. "Is that you, Coyote? I've heard of you. Stop this stabbing and cutting and let me alone. You can leave through my mouth; I'll open it for you."
"I'll leave, but not quite yet," said Coyote, hacking at the heart. He told the others to get ready. "As soon as I have him in his death throes, there will be an earthquake. He'll open his jaw to take a last breath, and then his mouth will close forever. So be ready to run out fast!"

Coyote cut a deep hole in the giant's heart, and lava started to flow out. It was the giant's blood. The giant groaned, and the ground under the people's feet trembled.

"Quick, now!" shouted Coyote. The giant's mouth opened and they all ran out. The last one was the wood tick. The giant's teeth were closing on him, but Coyote managed to pull him through at the last moment.

"Look at me," cried the wood tick, "I'm all flat!"

"It happened when I pulled you through," said Coyote. "You'll always be flat from now on. Be glad you're alive."


"I guess I'll get used to it," said the wood tick, and he did.
