 GunslingerA lawman, an outlaw, or a nameless wanderer on the plains… The gunslinger’s shooting skill seems superhuman. With a rifle or pistol, the gunslinger is a master of the range. Not only accuracy, speed on the draw makes the gunslinger infamous. |  MysticComing soon... |  Range RiderBull breakers, cow wranglers (and rustlers), express riders, cavalry – you only feel whole when on the back of a horse. Plenty of people in the ShadowWest can ride. Many can ride well. But they can’t ride like you do. You are also adept at fighting from horseback and skilled with equestrian arts. Animals seem to take to you…often more naturally than people. |  Holy RollerThe churches sprung up alongside the farms and mining claims, and even before some saloons. All manner of men and women appeared, preaching the word of The Lord. But a few do more than preach, they seem to channel divine fire and can perform ‘miracles’. More than a few harbor a devil in disguise... |
|---|---|---|---|
 ScoutFormer army trackers, native guides, and grizzled woodsmen - these people are comfortable in the hostile wilderness of Shadow West. They lead expeditions and war parties through dangerous territories. Many live outside of towns, tracking, trapping and hunting for sustenance and profit. Some scouts are less savory - honing these skills for human quarry. |  Rough CutComing soon... |
