Gritty Western Adventure

Just some initial thoughts:

Gritty Western Adventure

Feats will need some serious rework and I'd encourage everyone to be as creative as they want in terms of nifty tricks.

Quick Draw and Improved Init should work nicely with no changes.

(Not having the CoC rules in front of me, I may be duplicating stuff.)

Rifle Proficiency
Benefit: Proficient with all rifles.

Pistol Proficiency
Benefit: Proficient with all pistols.

Rifleman
Prerequisites: BAB+1, Rifle Proficiency
Benefit: You gain a +1 attack bonus with rifles.

Gunslinger
Prerequisites: BAB+1, Pistol Proficiency
Benefit: You gain a +1 attack bonus with pistols.

Pistol Packer

Benefit: You may shoot with two pistols at once (two weapon fighting)

Lawman
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Intimidate and Diplomacy checks.


Gotta run for now.

"Quick Draw and Improved Init should work nicely with no changes." Yes, as will dodge. I also like a number of Conan feats like Brawler, Fleet Footed and their version of Toughness. Also adding Versatility and improved Versatility as feats would be fun.

"Rifle Proficiency
Benefit: Proficient with all rifles.

Pistol Proficiency
Benefit: Proficient with all pistols."
This is the *Wild* West. Everyone is proficient with Simple Firearms. There would be feats for exotic weapons like explosives, Gatling guns and cannons.

"Rifleman
Prerequisites: BAB+1, Rifle Proficiency
Benefit: You gain a +1 attack bonus with rifles.

Gunslinger
Prerequisites: BAB+1, Pistol Proficiency
Benefit: You gain a +1 attack bonus with pistols."
Yes!

"Pistol Packer
Prerequisites: Gunslinger
Benefit: You may shoot with two pistols at once (two weapon fighting)"
I see a modified style of 2 weapon shooting, anyone can shoot 2 handed at a -3 on each shot. This feat would reduce that to -1.

Blaze Away
Prerequisite: Gunslinger, BAB+5
Benefit: When fighting with 2 pistols, you can take a second shot as part of a standard action. Both shots are at an additional -2 to hit in addition to your normal penalty for using 2 pistols.

"Lawman
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to Intimidate and Diplomacy checks."
Excellent!

Nice. So, if you take Gunslinger and Pistol Packer, it's only -3.

Is CoC OGL? We could put out a nifty ruleset for CoC westerns. We've definitely got an excellent start. Get all the professions fleshed out and such. I'll work more on this stuff. Gotta work right now and gotta finalize my adventure(s) for Saturday tonight.

CoC is not OGL but the concepts are generic enough that a simple name change could bypass that. The gun information on the other hand would have to be reworked but that isn't difficult.

I'd love to have something put together and see if Mongoose or some other publisher would like to release it as a thin paperback.

That'd be awesome! I bet Mongoose would snatch it up if we did a good job on it. We should just make up part of it and pitch a proposal to them.
