This nearly skeletal figure wields a pistol in each hand. Its

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Pistols (Su)

A pale stranger fights with two pistols. A pistol has a range increment of 20 feet and deals both bludgeoning and piercing damage. At a range of up to 20 feet, a pale stranger’s pistol attacks resolve as touch attacks. While pistols normally consume bullets and black powder when fired, a pale stranger’s pistols supernaturally reload the instant it fires them, allowing the undead to make multiple attacks in a round with the weapons. In addition, any pistol a pale stranger wields functions as a +1 pistol. A pale stranger does not provoke attacks of opportunity when it fires a pistol in melee, and treats pistols as light weapons for the purposes of determining penalties
from two-weapon fighting. Further rules for pistols, and firearms in general, can be found in Ultimate Combat.

Stranger’s Luck (Su)

A pale stranger gains a +3 luck bonus to AC and has no chance of misfire when using firearms.

Stranger’s Shot (Ex)

As a full-round action, a pale stranger can take careful aim with one of its firearms and take a single, ruinous shot. This single shot always resolves as a touch attack, regardless of the actual range. If the pale stranger threatens a critical hit with this shot, it automatically confirms the critical hit. Regardless of whether the shot is a critical hit or not, it deals +6d6 points of damage.
