Pathfinder RPG Guns & Gears Special Edition (P2)

Product Information

The core book and general dev/designers commentary hint that these should mainly be up to the player. There is just a TON of materials with all kinds of new toys such as new guns, tools, and magic items that can help turn the tide of battle.

But reading through Guns And Gears, I may be changing my tune, and not just because playing a leshy gunslinger whose nickname is “The Salad Shooter” would be Dad-Joke hilarious. Now, unlike the Inventor, there WAS a Gunslinger class in First Edition, but this version’s been reworked and simplified a little. Pathfinder 1st ed is about 10 years ago in the world of Golarion, so this helps advance the world as the fantasy world gets a bit more pre-industrial.Archetypes for Guns characters start out with, in my fevered opinion, the best of the lot: the Artillerist. Inventors also get access to a number of feats with the “unstable” keyword, which I love as a bit of game design that allow a character to gamble with a bit of damage for a bit of extra payoff.

In terms of Golarion setting stuff, I would really want to get more info on Arcadia considering it gets a section of its own in Guns and Gears, indicating that it's clearly a hotbed for what the book discusses, as well as it is clearly coded as the "Americas" which is an interesting combination. It’s a class that’s brand-new in Second Edition, but I got a twinge of familiarity while reading it because it clearly draws some inspiration from the Mechanic class in Starfinder. As with other classes that have different paths, an Inventor character differentiates themselves through the creation of a signature item, their “innovation”, which can be either a custom weapon, a suit of armor, or a construct minion. There are four basic builds: hunter, mage, sharpshooter, and warrior that help define your starting abilities. If I can try to intellectualize an ultimately emotional decision, I think it was some sort of mental corollary to Clarke’s Third Law.Ashram Tyrilit wrote: All I have to say, is that I'm desperately hoping the automaton ancestry is more "Pathfinder warforged" th But let’s be honest: the Rule of Cool STRONGLY argues in favor of the construct path – having your own little RoboBuddy to command is pretty awesome. When conventional weaponry won't cut it, supercharge your gameplay with clockwork wonders, electrifying coils, and potent black powder! There’s a bit of disparity lingering in my mind between the image of a pistolero using a gun-twirling fast-shooting fighting style and the mechanics of reloading in Pathfinder 2E, but I imagine that will settle one way or another once it comes in contact with the enemy—I MEAN, your players. The missteps I see are maybe more opinion; even if they are not my favorite things, they are done well.

Oh, don't worry, I completely assumed and stated it like that to see if I could fish for confirmation. In addition to new classes, delve into an abundance of archetypes, backgrounds, vehicles, siege engines, gadgets, and the innovative automaton ancestry, providing options for battles of all sizes.S., Brent Holtsberry, Jason Keeley, Dustin Knight, Luis Loza, Ron Lundeen, Chris Mastey, Liane Merciel, Jacob W. The Way of the Sniper is, well, a sniper: you sacrifice speed in favor of packing as much damage as possible into each shot and also get some stealth benefits. On the other hand, if you’re building your own campaigns, or if you’re just really into the lore of the Pathfinder world, this section is where the worldbuilding happens.

Most prominently to my mind is the Overwatch, which near as I can tell is a way of giving Improved Initiative to the entire party(! So far, one of my favorite things to have crafted was a water boiler/chiller out of Hot and Cold Siccatite, Fire-Forged and Frost-Forged Steel, and a magical steel plate enchanted with create water to keep the system properly filled.

This energy courses throughout an automaton’s body, powering the construct and completing an internal connection that allows the individual automaton’s consciousness to remain active.
