[theholymoo]

So its been a long time since i last posted here and eerily it was also about gunblade expertise, so now that its changed, am i correct in that its only use able now as part of a single attack and if so is it combine able with Vital strike?

Gunblade Expertise [General]
Your understanding of Gunblades allows you to swing and fire your gunblade at the same time.
Prerequisite: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Gunblades).
Benefit: When you use the attack action, you may fire your gunblade as an additional attack against the same target if you have successfully hit with the blade during the round with a -5 penalty without provoking attacks of opportunity.
Normal: Without this feat, you can't fire the gunblade at the same time as you swing your sword.

I've personally never limited it to a single attack.

However "Attack action" is a standard action, so yes a single attack. As far as Vital striking it id say its a go. Id say it wouldn't apply to the gunshot since it is its own thing but to the swing yes. Mayhaps Vil or someone will correct me.

It stacks with Vital Strike, yes.
