Published pathfinder products that support wild west style play / gun tech?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


The majority of Pathfinder (esp Paizo) products presume that guns are at an early stage of development, and aren't displacing armor/etc.

Are there any products published with old west style settings where guns are dominant over armor? I'm mainly trying to see how they handled any different rules.

Not first-party - the closest thing is the module Wardens of the Reborn Forge, which takes place in Alkenstar.

I'm not too familiar with third-party, so I'll leave that to others.


In Ultimate Combat there should be a variant rule that makes guns the default assumed weapon.

Page 135 of Ultimate Combat.

Guns Everywhere reduces all firearm prices to 10% of list value, including advanced firearms. All firearms are considered simple weapons. Instead of gunsmith, a 1st-level gunslinger receives gun training at 1st level.


The advanced firearms move the firearm state of play up to about 1830-1860. Metal cartridges, the cap-and-ball revolver, shotguns - including the side-by-side double-barreled shotgun. It's a simple matter to refluff the pepperbox rifle as a low-capacity repeating rifle.

The misfire values and the change of misfire rules means any non-gunslinger can fight with them. As for displacing armour - if weapons that can attack touch AC are less expensive than +1 magic weapons and barely more expensive than masterwork weapons, and everyone can get their hands on them, body armour becomes something you would only see situationally.

Basically, I think Guns Everywhere would enable a wild west campaign without rules alteration - though homebrewing a greater range of weapons to make life interesting would probably be required.
