A new player class for OSRIC™ and other OSR retro-clone games. If you’ve ever longed for the smell of sulphur and the powerful recoil of early firearms in your Old School fantasy role playing campaign, then this book is for you!
Herein you will discover the battle-ready Harquebusier character class, a master of early medieval firearms and a grenadier extraordinaire – ready to unleash a fusillade of destruction upon his or her foes! The authors have laid out an entirely new class which utilizes a well researched, thought out and detailed system of rules for the use of early firearms and grenades in a fantasy campaign.
This supplement includes everything the Game Master needs to incorporate this character class and weapons into their world, including: a fully detailed character class consistent with first edition and OSRIC™ rules, descriptions of the weapons and requisite equipment for the class, examples of valuable and magical firearms, and an entirely new introductory level adventure to aid the GM and their players in immediately putting these rules into action in their campaigns!
In “The Trials of the Shootist” the player’s character has just completed the harquebusier training, and is ready to graduate the academy and receive his or her first professional firearm...except the wagon bringing the shipment has been waylaid by a band of humanoids! It is now up to the harquebusier and their adventuring companions to find the caravan, return the missing weapons, and defend the honor of your academy and masters.
So adjust your gun belt, clean that barrel, and keep your powder dry: it’s time for adventure!
