Re: Cubicle 7 dropping the Lord of the Rings

That press release announces a 'new edition', but whether this will be the, as i understand it, still quite new, second edition, or a third edition it doesn't say. Free League staffers have made clear (in various forums) the edition they intend to publish will be Francesco's 2nd edition (the work h...

Re: Any canon examples of characters using both might and magic?

I'm looking for a Warrior type character who switches out fightery talents for innate magical ones. And that these magical talents are low key, in line with what a sword, arrow, shield or chain mail do for you. They aren't high level spells that obliterate regiments. The reason isn't primarily becau...

Re: Any canon examples of characters using both might and magic?

How does the TW:W description of a Loremaster deviate from the concept proposed in this thread? Okay, let's see: - seems much more appropriate for WFB than WFRP - it's an elite concept, not something a WFRP character can realistically strive for. Remember, the character will be adventuring alongsid...

Re: Any canon examples of characters using both might and magic?

How impossible would a "gish" character be in the context of Warhammer FRP? Ideally, a human fighter that can pick up a smidgen of magical ability on the side. The ability to exchange a sword swipe for a bolt of fire, say, isn't meant to be a power upgrade. Having it be short range and do ...

Re: Any canon examples of characters using both might and magic?

In second edition WFRP Dart (and indeed Fire Ball) are half actions so can be combined with a Standard Attack. Sure. And I realize you could call it nitpicking to make an issue out of not being satisfied by being able to attack once and cast one spell as opposed to being able to attack several time...

Any canon examples of characters using both might and magic?

(Posting here in general because I'm asking about Warhammer Lore in general, even though my question revolves around mechanics that makes more sense in 1E and 2E and possibly 4E). I'm imagining a character for an upcoming campaign that can use both sword and spell - at the same time . That is, once...

Re: Combat example

risk that cannot be properly controlled by the gamemaster isn't a good thing . I somewhat disagree. Players do crazy things, including taking risks the gamemaster never anticipated them taking. These situations can be hard to GM (especially if you're GMing a set adventure, rather than a more sandbo...

Re: Combat example

Second, the problem is that advantage makes metagaming important. Telling your archer to shoot the Orc Chieftain because everybody else is fighting Orc Grunts and that Chieftain is starting to snowball advantage by mowing down the hapless town guard is entirely unwelcome. You're not shooting at him ...

Re: Combat example

Does no one feel that the snowball thing (I assume this is a reference to how advantage and differences in skill ratings affect hitting, damage and avoiding getting hit, whilst also being self-perpetuating) helps make combat risky? My experience is that if the PCs don't take control of a situation ...

Re: Income & Social Status - Silver/Gold Divide.

No edition of WFRP has ever had a functioning economy. The gold/solver/brass divide is a good idea - if you use it as a basis for role-playing, not if you're assuming counting actual coins will yield meaningful results. That is, if you use it as shorthand for a character's social strata to help play...

I would have loved to discuss WFRP4 in a frank unrestrained manner over at the main rpg forum on the net, but I have found that they're only interested in feel-good discussions and success stories, and that I would have only gotten myself a thread-ban (or worse) if I had called out WFRP4 as the stea...
