Wild West Setting


Advice


Alright so I wanted to run a Wild West setting
Other then d20 system
I was going to try to use PF
Gunslinger is a no brainier for a class, but can people compile a quick list of classes that take pieces for archetypes to use guns or other theme appropriate builds.

I know Swashbuckler has at least 3 archetypes that deal with guns, one with a whip which is still doable in the old west style of design.


The simplest way might simply be to add guns as simple, martial, and exotic weapons to the already existing ones. Simple guns are derringers and scatter guns, martial is revolvers and repeating rifles, exotic is gattling gun and cannon. Let the classes and archetypes be and give everyone a black hat to wear.


As far as class-specific archetypes, I know that rangers have an archetype called a Trophy Hunter, and there's Holy Gun archetype available for paladins. Also, I think a wizard can be a gun mage.

Yo should also consider the "guns everywhere" or "guns commonplace" option. This can turn firearms into simple and/or martial weapons and makes ammo available more cheaply. Thus, any class could use firearms by taking martial weapon profiency and a few ranged-combat feats.

Ah ok, but the rest of the information is correct?

Yes. You can get the info on it in Archives of Nethys with the names correct.
