First Post
I have an idea for a non-magical campaign, what classes would fit in this world? Things like bikers and greasers and sheriffs and moonshiners, what classes fit some of these things? I think things like Brawler http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/fighter/archetypes/paizo---fighter-archetypes/brawler and Pugilist http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/wordcasting-entertainment/pugilist and even Martial artist http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/monk/archetypes/paizo---monk-archetypes/martial-artist and Gunslinger http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/monk/archetypes/paizo---monk-archetypes/martial-artist . But I think there should be more than that, what can you guys come up with that I haven't?

Barbarians would make good thugs. Watch out since they have quite a lot of rage powers and archetypes that result in they having some sort of "magic"

Fighters are mostly ok, I guess.

Rangers have two archetypes that take away their spells, Trapper and Skirmisher. They seem like good fits for you game.

Rogues, by default, have no magic (except for some Rogue talents, but they are not many).

Alchemist make HEAVY use of magic, but you could pass that like different kinds of "brews" of moonshine if that's your stuff. Some goes for the investigator (although that's a bit more of a stretch).

If you change the cavalier’s mounts to a car/bike, then you have a great class for that kind of stuff. You could change the different orders to different gangs (Dragon Gang, Cockatrice Gang, etc) and that would be quite cool, actually.

Lastly, Swashbucklers lack magic too, but I don't think you could work them into you game very easily.
