Art of War for

Shadow of the Demon Lord
Don't bring a sword to a gunfight! Firearms often turn the
tide of any battle, and several warriors specialize in their use
to take out their foes from afar.
By the Gun features five new Expert and three new Master
martial paths focused on the use of firearms.
Among the Expert paths, you find The Assault Trooper
who rushes straight into the enemies' lines to flush them out.
The Dragoon is a light cavalry that charges the enemies while
brandishing a carbine or pistols. The Grenadier specializes in
the making and lobbing of grenades and bombs. The Gun
Dervish utilize gun kata to take out enemies with both pistol
fire and pistol-whipping. The Marksman excels at hitting
their targets with any ranged weapon and utilizes reality-
defying trick shooting to boot.
And the Master paths include the Artillerist with their
crew who specializes in the use of portable artillery weapons
like the mortar or volley gun. The Pistoleer, another light
cavalry that rides into combat brandishing dual pistols and a
saber. And the sniper, a specialist in digging into cover and
taking out targets
from afar.

GRENADIER
An elite soldier on any battlefield, only the strongest and
tallest are usually chosen to be a grenadier. Equipped with
satchels or bandoliers of bombs and grenades, the grenadier
can lay even the largest mob of foes to waste. And their
unmatched training in the use of slings and staff slings make
them a fearful foe even from a long distance. As most
grenadiers are a chosen elite, most of them also have training
in other weapons before they become a grenadier, which
usually lengthens their life expectancy when they run out of
bombs and grenades.
You can find a listing of explosives on page 10.

2 Explosive Grenades of any type.
3 Dispersive Grenades of any type.
Primed Explosive You can choose to prime your explosive
before throwing it, making sure it explodes on impact
instead of at the end of the round. When you do, make a
Strength challenge roll. On a failure, the explosive

GUN DERVISH
Somewhere in Rûl, there is a monastery dedicated to a
martial art that combines whirling combat dances with
pistols. With carefully crafted dancing-like moves, the gun
dervish is trained to take out several opponents with a
combination of shooting and striking with their pistols. To
maintain the monastery, the gun dervishes often hire
themselves out as mercenaries and are a feared addition to
any army.
The gun dervishes are known to utilize knifeguns, made
famous by gunblades, and pistols with reinforced stocks that
can handle the rigor of fighting in melee.

You can find details about knifeguns and gunblades in another of

our martial path supplements, Paths of War.

MARKSMAN
With extensive accuracy training, few can match the
marksman's skill with ranged weapons. Some are known to
hit anything, even those hiding behind cover, by ricocheting
their shots. Others take out two targets with a single shot. No
one would fault you for thinking they use magic from
watching a marksman in action, but it's all skill.

WHO NEEDS WEAPONS, ANYWAY?

Way of the Summoned Blade introduces new paths focused around magically summoned or
shaped weapons.
Voidblade, draws power from the void to reshape their arm into a deadly blade.
Voidcursed, has been to the void and survived, but came back with a curse and a new
power to summon a weapon from the void.
Shadowblade, delve into shadow magic and shapes it into weapons for themselves.
Celestial Blade, is the light in the darkness. Calling upon the light, they strike down those
of the darkness with their celestial blade.

Soul Sword uses their very souls as weapons.

FLEXIBLE, BUT DANGEROUS MAGIC!

Catastrophic Magic details a more flexible magic system where there's no more need to keep
track of the number of castings per spell. Instead, it introduces a casting roll. Fail the roll and
you might face catastrophic consequences.
This supplement also details modified rules for the existing magic rules, a new set of
talents for magicians that want to embrace the nature of catastrophic magic, new spells to
force the catastrophe onto others,
and new trinkets and relics.
