He takes aim with the shotgun at the group of zombies. Pellets loaded, he fires both barrels.
Attk: 19 + 9 +1(Point Blank Shot) -4(x2 barrels) = 25 to Touch AC
Dam: 8 + 8 + 2(magic) +1(PBS) = 19 B and P damage.
*Surprised at my rolls today!
As a scatter weapon, Preacher should get some cone effect on the zombie spread.
"Pellets: A handful of pellets, along with a dose of black powder, is commonly used as ammunition for one-handed and two-handed firearms with the scatter weapon quality, though rocks or other small bits of hard material can be used in the pellets' place. Using anything other than pellets or alchemical cartridges when firing off a cone attack with a scatter weapon increases the weapon's misfire range by 1 (though this increase can be removed by switching back to standard ammunition)."
"Advanced Firearms: Advanced firearms resolve their attacks against touch AC when the target is within the first five range increments, but this type of attack is not considered a touch attack for the purposes of feats such as Deadly Aim. At higher range increments, the attack resolves normally, including taking the normal cumulative –2 penalty for each full-range increment. Advanced firearms have a maximum range of 10 range increments."
