An exotic and heavy firearm, using multiple rotating barrels, the gatling gun is an unwieldy weapon that can unload a ridiculous amount of firepower in a short time. In order to properly wield a gatling gun, holding it steady if more important for aiming than any sort of 'aim', thus the wielder user her Strength score for attack roll instead of Dexterity. A proficient user may use her Dexterity instead of Strength however and add her base attack bonus to damage with a gatling gun.
A gatling gun is fired as a standard action instead of an attack action. When fired, a gatling gun create a line equal to it first range increment, beyond the first range increment ranged attacks are handled normally. The wielder of the gatling gun make a single attack against every creature and object within the line, rolling each attack individually. If aimed at a target beyond the first range increment, the first increment line must point toward that target. If a creature is within 10 feet when the gatling gun is fire, it critical threat critical threat become 19-20/x3.
A Gatling Gun consume 30 bullets every time it is fired, it has a maximum capacity of 120 rounds and require a full-round action to reload.
A creature with the correct exotic weapon proficiency gain the following Weapon Art:
- Burst Fire: You make a very short burst of fire, making a single attack roll against a target. This does not create a line like regular fire and simply consume 10 bullets.
- Gatling Sweep: As a full-round action, you fire while sweeping the gun to left or to the right, creating a 60 ft. cone of death. You make an attack against every creatures and objects within the cone. This weapon art expend 60 bullets.
- Sustained Fire: You may use this weapon art as part of a regular attack or gatling sweep, expending twice as many ammunition as normal. The cone or line of the attack remain until the start of your next turn, any creature which enter it or end it turn inside immediately take damage as if it was struck by a gatling gun attack.
A Gatling Gun require a Strength of 18 to wield and fire, creatures without the sufficient Strength take a -4 penalty to attack and must make a DC 15 balance check or fall Prone. A character may however brace the gatling gun on a surface as a move action, allowing her to fire normally no matter her Strength until she move.
