Can you just give them the Small Trait and be done with it? That reduces Wounds, makes bigger (older?) enemies cause Fear or Terror, and puts them on a par with Halflings. Just remove the Trait when they hit adulthood, and hey presto! It's easy enough to handwave, as although Human kids are probably...

I rule that creatures with Fear or Terror are immune to those traits up to their own rating. E.g., if you cause Terror 1, you can ignore all Fear but would still have to deal with Terror 2. If you cause Fear 3, you'd ignore Fear 1-3, but not Fear 4, etc. I would probably deduct the difference for th...

This is a known mistake, I think.

Does anyone care that Dart is illegal in the Empire?

Probably not if you're on the same side. If you Overcast it, you may be able to pretend it's Bolt instead, though.

Hi All. Brand new to 4e (30 years ago played 1e). Just read the magic section and like most was a little surprised by both the limited selection printed (yes I know as a GM I can make any spell up I want) and the high CN and time taken of non petty magic. Some great comments and suggestions in this...

Yeah, you can fsil but still win.

I was also thinking of introducing opposed rolls, but it seems counterintuitive. The whiff-feeling occurs from the low share of successes (or impactful results) on the overall number of rolls. Opposed rolls just double the amount of rolls, unless you rule that also failed rolls (i.e. above your WS)...

Do the opposed rolls. You know you want to.

This is what our GM in an online 2e game is going. It works just fine.

It works a treat. Just keep combatants within 20 points of each other. Once the difference in Skill gets beyond 20, the weaker opponent has no chance of winning at all.

Interestingly, Andy Law's fix for Advantage is a fixed +10 to whoever's winning. Andy Leask's is just to always use Fast SLs, since it caps mods and Damage. I'm thinking of doing this when I eventually get around to starting up a campaign. I was originally thinking of just using the alternative rul...

Don't hate me for what I'm about to say but since people are already talking about alternative systems.. I did run Zweihander and my players loved it. I started with 4ed and we played the starter adventure plus a couple from the Ubersreik Avdentures. They loved the feel of the Old World ( I give a ...

Probably yes, if they have a duration beyond Instant. If they're a one-time effect, they're cast and done.

In theory, you could give Big to a Halfling to make a Size (Medium) Halfling instead of a Small (Size) Halfling. Does that make sense? Not Quite. A Size (Medium) Halfling is a Size (Medium) Halfling. Big is completely separate from Size. As the trait says, it is a large example of it's species, an ...

This was very enlightening. Thank you very much. I see the monsters and NPCs in a completely different light now. Thank you!

No problem!

I've been doing a simplified rules system myself. There's a gap that Brigandyne can't fill until it's translated. That said, we've been playing several times a week over lockdown (more than 26 sessions) and have been fine with everything except whiff early on in non-opposed Tests and the vast number...

Hi, I am new to the boards (or indeed, any WFRP boards). I have been playing WFRP since the late 1990s, as a GM I have led the first two TEW instalments and a couple of published adventures as well as my own campaign - and we also started Dying of the Light - in 1e. We later switched to 2e, but I w...

If I purposely lower my teir, say from 2 to 1, for what ever reason, when I'm ready to go back to teir 2, do I need to pay for all the requirements again? Or just the cost to go to next teir? Just the cost to go to the next tier. Career level requirements are absolute anyway. Say you already have +...

Another newbie question: When using the monsters in the rulebook, do I ADD the 10 S and T and DEDUCT the 5 Ag from the stats of creatures with the Large trait (fx Trolls, page 324). Or are the stats already adjusted to the creature's traits? Fx do a troll (on page 324) have 55 S or does it actually...

So movement using minis. Core Book, page 165. "Moving during combat" "The Movement Table shows how many yards you can normally move in a single turn, either Walking or Running ..." Above it states that you can normally move 4 squares(8yards). - This got us confused. So as a players MOVE then can ei...
