C'mon, it's the Wild West. Did you expect anything else?
This supplement adds a handful of western weapons and munitions. It is based on the Warrior's Codex, mentioned further down.
When the weight of your carried items exceeds five times your Strength score, your speed is reduced by 10 feet. When it exceeds ten times your score, your speed drops by 20 feet and you have disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws that use Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution.
This rule forces you to think about your carried gear and to plan out what you pack, creating more interesting adventures. Consider storing supplies in a pack, which can be put on or taken off with an action for immediate fighting conditions.
This addon expands the versatility and complexity of warriors to be on par with casters, as well as adding new subclass options and needed rebalances.
If you're still new to this, please don't read through the whole thing. I'll help you out.
At the start of each session, I'll ask one question to everyone about your characters. Whoever has a meaningful and engaged response gets inspiration. To prevent pocketing, inspiration vanishes at the end of the session.
This helps get you in the right mindset to roleplay. Is it incredibly subjective? Yes!
Also, if you voice your character with a crummy Western accent the whole session, you get inspiration for the next one.
When multiple players roll the same number for initiative, disregarding decimal tiebreakers, two or more can choose to tag team on this turn. Participating players move and take actions all as one turn. When a monster or a player that opts out rolls the same number, the tag team turn happens on the highest initiative according to the decimal tiebreakers.
This allows for cool teamwork moments between players, especially those who are in close quarters to one another. Do remember to be polite and take turns describing your actions, but feel free to strategize together. If you just don't think a tag team would work out with your positions on the board, there's no shame in opting out; just be quick about it and don't argue.
When you've finished, you can close the book on this chapter.
