Re: Pirates of the Reik

In my Old World, River Pirates use canoes and grappling hooks. They dart out, do the looting, then scoot off back to land. River Wardens are only really useful for rescuing wrecks, rendering aid, imposing/collecting taxes, and keeping the river depth clear for merchant ships to pass safely. Unless t...

Re: Travel prices?

In my mind, I really just wanted something quick and easy, the cost I mentioned above covered everything and reflected the quality of the coach, etc. If you wanted to add another layer you certainly could IE, traveling by foot is social tier plus one coin. By boat is plus 2 coins. By coach is plus 3...

Re: Travel prices?

There are times my players want to roleplay each day of journey. When that happens, calculating costs is somewhat easy because you're roleplaying each stop at an Inn. Sometimes, my players just want to get from point A to point B and only get stopped when they encounter a significant event. When tha...

Re: Why I think combat is less exciting in v4

In v2, every attack roll was exciting because every roll counts, all players are watching when you roll, and everyone knows exactly what your chances are: when I have WS 35, everyone watching knows my chances, and cheers when I roll 25 and hit the enemy; same when I roll +35 and fail to hit. ....

Re: Second Sight - Intuition or Perception?

Glorthindel, really good distinctions between Perception/Intuition. I'll start incorporating them as well.

Re: Arcane Colleges of Altdorf - Help me reconcile

A. Institutionally, they are located in Altdorf, but they have other satellite outposts in Middenheim (and elsewhere) to take in Apprentices and at least prevent them from killing themselves (or getting lynched). One appropriate analogy would be foreign colonies. London has always been the seat of t...

Re: Investigations

Given that it's a "critical path" to the adventure, I would communicate to the players and then require that they be specific about where they're looking. Just walking into the room and saying "I want to look around" would only reveal what is out in the open. Alternatively, as a ...

Old World Medicinals

In and amidst my many half finished projects, I am trying to outline the next chapter of my campaign which I intend to be an adaptation of Philip K Dick's book Ubik. Obviously an aerosol spray is out of the question for The Old World (is it? Hmmm) but what other forms could a medicinal take that wou...

Re: Dark Reapers desing

If you're talking about the Eldar/Aeldari Dark Reapers, I think they look fine and in line with the rest of the army look. Alternate heads for conversions are cheap and easily available if you don't like the look of them. I think they are no better or worse looking in their aesthetic than most Space...

Re: Power creep?

Re: In fighting rules

Not as I read it, I believe you are correct. Although your GM may decide to give a circumstantial bonus to wrestling or knife fighting or hand to hand disarm tests if one opponent has In-Fighting and the other does not.

Re: Strong back abd strike to stun

Absolutely, that would be my reading as well. Opposed Melee tests are for when you are comparing your Melee skill against someone else's Melee skill as in you are using your weapon to parry an incoming attack. Once you are defending yourself with something other than a weapon, then it's no longer an...
