Winged Hussar

"I'm going to be a gunslinger," You state after only a few seconds consideration.

"That is a rare and difficult class," Clarice Winifred Duneadane replies, "are you sure that you want to be one? Opportunities for obtaining better gear will not be particularly common, and also will tend to be fairly costly," Clarice elaborates.

"Yes, I am sure. My body is basically MADE for the use of caracole tactics. With a brace of pistols I'm going to be able to decimate any enemies we encounter in a faint few seconds," You explain.

"Ah, in that case, may I instead recommend a different class and a prestige class to go with it? I would like to make you aware of the existence of a class-variant called Centaur Cavalier, and the potentially related prestige class of 'Winged Hussar'. The Winged Hussar prestige class is a prestige class intended to complement cavaliers and potentially some of thier class variants, one of which that is compatible is the Centaur Cavalier. Centaur Cavaliers are distinctive from regular Cavaliers in that they don't have a mount, because they are one, but instead gives them an animal companion which counts as thier mount for the purpose of many Cavalier abilities. In your case I would recommend a dire wolf since that can trade off carrying Justin on long journeys. Among other abilities that Winged Hussars get, is proficiency with pistols, though not long-arms. So they are eminently suitable for what you want to do. They also are a 'full 10' prestige class, making them more suitable to the longer-term use as your main class, and afterwards you can switch back to Centaur Cavalier for your main progession until level 40, halfway through the long march to reach level cap," Clarice explains. "Do you think that is something that you would be interested in?" She asks.

"Let me see a database entry for the two classes," You state, and while she doesn't pull up the full database entry she gives you a class description from the fan wiki page for the two and you read them over quickly. Winged Hussars appear to be a "Shock and Awe" type of "military" prestige class, which will open a number of different options for your non-level-based advancement that would otherwise be closed to you, such as signing up with a national military service or mercenary company and rising through the ranks as you progress through various quest lines. Centaur Cavalier is also a good pick for a Centaur character since the class is designed to favor your new racial strengths and compensate for the weaknesses. It also offers a lot of specific skills related to carrying a rider and fighting in tandem with them. They are both very solid picks.

"Okay, that sounds like a great idea: I just hope that Justin will pick something that complements it," You say, and she finalizes your choice. "Okay. we are going to make a few little adjustments to your profile and then you will be joining Justin in service to the administration as "quality control testing" team members. This means that you will be able to access certain content before regular players, but also that we may send you on 'suicide' missions sometimes where you are almost certainly going to 'die' while doing a run through a dungeon zone. You will not lose your gear and such if this happens, however, and we will always make sure that you re-spawn," she explains.

"Alright, but just be careful not to send us on too many missions or more than 50% suicidal ones, that was what I hated most about my old life," You grouse.

"Not to worry, we will be sure to give you and Justin plenty of time for yourselves and adventures of your own choosing. Do understand however that you are never precisely 'off the clock', we are always keeping tabs on your actions and status as part of the job: and yes, that includes during 'intimate' moments. If you want, we can surgically adjust your neural weights to drastically reduce your level of sexual inhibitions and, potentially, even make yourself an exhibitionist, so our watching is a turn-on instead of a detriment."
