Pistolheart Vol 2 is the second of four Western supplements for Daggerheart, aiming to add a bit more gunsmoke and grit to your Western campaigns. From one of the writers and designers who worked on Daggerheart’s Core Rulebook, Hope & Fear, The Dying Spire, The Witherwild, Dark Heart of Andaluria, and Colossus of the Drylands, and Pistolheart Vol 1 comes 27 pages of:

1. 4 new subclasses for the Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, and Wizard whose archetypes go well beyond gunslinger and delve deeper into canonical western archetypes. Art by Carey Piestch.
2. New modular mechanics for Investigations and Rumors that are useful for GMs running any type of campaign that involves a mystery.
3. A New Enemy Type: The Enigma, who can affect the scene even when not present and require more than force to defeat.
4. New equipment options, magic items, and consumables. Art by Jonathan Shelor.
5. 21 Western Adversaries from Tier 1-4 with original art for every single adversary by Michelle Pecoraro.
6. 3 classically Wild West Environments that have the PCs driving cattle, exploring haunted mines, or surrounded by the law. Art by Per Janke

Pistolheart Volume 2 fills out the remaining subclasses introduced in Volume 1, while also adding a huge amount of utility for GMs in the form of new adversaries, environments, and an investigation mechanic that is universally applicable to any campaign that involves mysteries, hunts, or investigations. Folks that enjoyed Volume 1 are going to find so much more packed in these pages.

Trickster, Terror, Shepherd, Snake: 4 New Western Subclasses

1. The Snake Oil Bard cons their marks with lofty sermons and supports their allies with questionable cure-alls.
2. The Warden of Herds Druid harnesses the collective power of the herd to keep their party moving.
3. The Coffin Breaker Sorcerer spurns death to resolve their unfinished business with magic from beyond the grave.
4. The School of Gambling Wizard seeks to become the house, rather than play against it.
