WIW Character Sheets

Before heading out west, be sure to download these free Wild Imaginary West RPG character sheets. There’s a unique, double-sided pdf for each of the seven trades, including the Doctor, Gunslinger, Hunter, Marshal, Mechanic, Prospector, and Trapper. The majority of the information is consistent across character sheets with the exception of the trade abilities and recommended skill dice should you want a quick-build option.

Typically, a character starts at 0 Prestige and acquires more Prestige as they progress through each session. However, the Warden, or game master, may want their players to start at a higher level of Prestige in which case they may reference page 33 of the WIW Official Guidebook for details outlining that process. Either way, you’ll want to select a trade for your character that resonates with you and your goals. Here’s a little about each trade to help you find the best fit.

THE DOCTOR

The Doctor is a skillful expert in the ever-necessary art of healing.

As a Doctor, you can shift the tide of a battle. In the moments that matter most, you act with a clear head and a strong will to keep your posse alive. You might deal out as much damage as you do healing. Entering dangerous situations feels at least somewhat safer with you by their side.

THE GUNSLINGER 

The Gunslinger’s marksmanship and quick-draw are unmatched. 

You practice discipline with your weapon so that when the moment comes your aim can be true and your enemies overcome. Armed with speed and precision, the Gunslinger is a dangerous foe. Sure, you’ll miss your mark here and there, but everyone would rather have you as a friend than an enemy. Your enemies have a shorter life ahead of them.

THE HUNTER

The Hunter has a gift for understanding the West’s dangerous inhabitants.

While most would flee the creatures that stalk their trails, you turn around and face the danger; even seeking to understand it. Your respect for nature is based out of both awe and fear. You know better than most how quickly an encounter with a beast can change from serene observation to deadly combat. When a monster locks eyes with you, you know it’s time to decide how you’ll survive.

THE MARSHAL

The Marshal inspires allies to triumph even when faced with the impossible.

In a world filled with danger in every crevice, a leader is sorely needed to provide hope, motivation, and inspiration. When others would cower or surrender, you lead by example towards victory. Even when the posse gets kicked down, you lift them back up, again and again.

THE MECHANIC

The Mechanic’s inventions can lead to new opportunities in the west.

Others are stuck marveling at the potential of technology while you’re putting the finishing touches on a mech upgrade. Any posse is lucky to have a mechanic not only for general repairs, but for making the best use of Forstalls and mechs. Your preparation before battles instills the confidence needed to survive.

THE PROSPECTOR 

If there are treasures to be found, the Prospector uncovers them. If not, well, there’s always joy in an explosion.

You’re no stranger to hard work and certainly no stranger to explosives. The only thing better than watching the explosion is finding the treasures beneath. Light your fuse and take cover. You’ll be appreciated by your friends for finding riches.

THE TRAPPER

The Trapper’s knowledge of monster country keeps them one step ahead. 

You use traps as a means to an end, one that requires patience, care, and precision. That doesn’t mean you underestimate the use of weaponry though. Rather, your traps help set the stage for the battle, giving you and your posse the upper hand. Sometimes, you’ll even use a trap in the middle of a battle to change the tides. Inflicting Statuses on enemies can be a huge boon.
