[feat] Gun-fu

Me and Ashiel have been working on this one for a day or two, its completely home-brew.
due to the changes in gun rules, this is not as silly as it once have been.

Gun-Fu
Prerequisites:flurry of blows class feature, Weapon Focus with firearms.
Benefit: You can use a firearm as if it were a monk weapon.

the ramifications of this are relatively simple, one, you can flurry, and two, yo can use monk abilities through it, such as stunning fist, which we thought would ultimately be pretty hilarious to picture someone getting knocked silly by a well aimed bullet.

With the level of gun tech we're using I don't see it being a huge issue. If you've got the cash and the clips to do it I think it'd be pretty fun. +1

I crunched some numbers on this last night regarding the most damage focused multiclass combinations you could setup with this, and it works out within an acceptable range using Ashiel's gun mechanics as they are now. You can push damage output that's slightly higher than damage with a full-attack focused archer, but it suffers in accuracy against high AC targets.

Mechanically I'm okay with it, but I'm hesitant about its inclusion since it has narrow value (monk characters that focus on firearms)- it seems like the sort of thing that'll get used one or two times and then abandoned.

Tentatively, +1.
