What would the wild west be without gunfights and what would standoffs at high noon be without revolvers. However typically pathfinder gives us longswords and crossbows instead of the revolvers we so desperately need in order to defend the farmstead. The addition of Ultimate Combat, the gunslinger, and plenty of firearms has done well to alleviate the disturbing lack of guns, however it still leaves weapons like greataxes in the mix, and as those have become obsolete I want to emphasize that no-one uses those anymore, and thus every weapon was looked at individually as to what it can add to a western game. I listed all weapons which would remain in their current roles as Simple, Martial and Exotic, any that were left out of my list were bumped up. For example the normally simple weapon "Light Mace" has fallen so out of use that it is now considered a martial weapon. This is not because the weapon is any harder to use, but because it is so rare and uncommon.
Firearms will be run by the "Guns Everywhere" ruling in Ultimate combat. Advanced firearms should be incredibly common.
That is all for now.
Coming up Next: Elves in depth.
