Class Features
The following are the class features of the security guard NPC class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
The security guard is proficient with all simple weapons and one simple firearm of his choice (see below) plus tonfas, and with light armor (as well as all tactical armor).
Gunsmith
At 1st level, a security guard gains one of the following firearms of his choice: trainee pistol, trainee rifle or trainee shotgun. His starting weapon is battered, and only he knows how to use it properly. All other creatures treat his gun as if it had the broken condition. If the weapon already has the broken condition, it does not work at all for anyone else trying to use it. This starting weapon can only be sold for scrap (it’s worth 4d10 gil when sold).
At 5th level, the security guard gains Gunsmithing as a bonus feat.
