Character Options: Combat & Weapons

Are your martial characters bored of the sword? Has combat gotten bogged down in the same old routine? This supplement provides plenty of new ideas to add a little punch when you're in the crunch.

Inside you'll find:

• Optional rules for armor penetration for firearms and melee weapons.
• New weapon special qualities to make combat more exciting, including crush, shove, sunder, sweep, and more!
• New weapons, including traditional western weapons like the poleaxe and stiletto, exotic weapons like the bagh nakh and haladie, fantasy weapons like the hidden blade and the chain sword, improbable weapons like the shotput and two-bladed scimitar, dieselpunk weapons like the excavator picksaw, technological weapons like the plasma sword... and many more!!
• A revised weapon modification system that allows you to add special features to weapons outside of the magic system -- creating everything from modular weapons to sniper rifles, and from tripping swords to serrated spears.
• A selection of new armors and shields, including ring mail, brigandine, ballistic armor, and the hands-free samurai horo shield.
• A revised armor modification system that allows you to add special features to armor outside of the magic system -- with a variety of options for mundane and technological armors, including deflecting plates, integrated weaponry, and bulletproofing.
• Combat house rules covering such topics as simpler flat-footed rules, imported tactics from the Starfinder RPG, a nonlethal option for the "massive damage" rule, and more.
• New feats, including some adapted from the Starfinder RPG.

Notes:

• This supplement is for the Pathfinder 1E Roleplaying Game.
• The rules presented in this document make full use of the Pathfinder firearms and technology rules, although these are not needed for all of the options included.
