As for the first edition of WFRP, characters without swimming skill start to sink after a number of rounds equal to their their T bonus. Then, they lose 1 W per round. When they reach 0 W, they're drowned.
To have a system a bit closer to reality, I would ask to the character who doesn't know how ...

Re: Number of career entries and exits
The career tags system in WFRP3 is really good. Instead of having entries and exits, anyone can go from any career to any other career (although there are some baked in limitations, like some are starting career only, you have to complete the previous wizard career before going into the next one ...

Re: Teach me about the career tags system
It makes career progress more flexible, but the lack of guidance makes it also more difficult, as players now have to work through a book of more than 250 careers to find out which careers are opening up for them. I don't know if every player is waiting for that.
You might produce an index ...

Re: The two views of Bretonnia
I think I've already recommanded it: Robert Merles's Fortune de France is an interesting novel to inspire an Early Modern Bretonnia.

Re: 2e Replacement Insanity Rules
On a different basis, I've discovered the insanity rules of Unknown Armies, and I like what I've read.
I think it might also be something to look at. Perhaps, linking the hardening on the psychological stress to a path toward one of the chaotic gods:

Re: The two views of Bretonnia
Has any attempt been made to reconcile the two ideas? I should think that there is plenty of room in Bretonnia for both.
I had, a long time ago, at the time of WFB6 and in the earliest times of WFRP2, but I think that all I did was undoubtedly mostly lost.
There was, in fact, three official ...

For the templar, it depends of which god serves the said templar...

Ulric? -> knight of the White Wolf (UIA, p. 34)

To conclude my previous post, instead of the A to D classes of WFRP1 (or to the Gold to Bronze of WFRP4), I would use the following ranks, as a first steps:

Re: The Oldenhaller coat of arms?
Coats of arms aren't reserved to the nobility. Merchants had coats of arms both in Early Modern European parts of Earth and -if I'm remembering correctly some city supplements such as Bögenhafen's or Marienburg's- in the fantasy setting of the Warhammer's World.
