About the game
What you do in a play session
It's time to add an outlaw flair to your Shadows of Brimstone adventure with the Outlaw Hero Class! These guys are pure versatility, you know? They can lay down a lot of fire and sneak through the shadows like nobody's business. Of course, this style comes at a price: their aim isn't the most accurate, and health recovery isn't their strong suit. But what truly shines with this class is the chance to 'rob' the town's 'Outpost Bank'! Just imagine, a big influx of cash to supercharge your gear with awesome items or even to bribe the law and escape jail. This class, which originated as an exclusive Kickstarter treat for 'Outlaw' level backers or higher, comes with a double-sided character card, a reference sheet with the upgrade chart, and three starting option cards: Hitman, Outlaw Charm, and Reckless. To top it off, you also get 4 starting gear cards, including two Outlaw Pistols, a Bandanna, and a Sawed-Off Shotgun. All this allows you to dive headfirst into this dark and dangerous Wild West, where every decision counts and luck (or bad luck!) with the dice can change everything. Get ready for a cooperative experience full of action, exploration, and, of course, a touch of roguish charm!
