I thought that it meant level in the sense of 'to demolish or raze'. So literally mountain destroyer which admittedly is a little exaggerated for what the Runefang can do but is quite a badass sounding name for a weapon quality of that magnitude. Also if it ignores Armour and TB as I guess it would ...

Absolutely! Only thing I'd suggest with houserules like this is be collaborative with all the players for a few sessions to see how it beds in. Make sure you talk to the wizard so they know that if its not quite working you'll change it again. With magic in Warhammer this is easily done as you can j...

If each man of the Empire worship both Ulric and Mórr and other gods of the Old World pantheon, then their religion is polytheistic. If some men of the Empire only worship Ulric, while still believing in the divinity of Mórr and other gods of the Old World pantheon, then, their religion is monolatr...

I sort of get where some of your arguments are coming from but I still think you are conflating the real world narrative inclusion of the pantheon with how that then plays out in the warhammer world. What I mean by that is that there are two separate areas that seem to be merged but they are differe...

I downloaded this recently and have been reading through it. Haven't read through enough of it to give a fully review but what I have seen is very impressive. The scope of the bestiary section is fantastic. Well done and more of this kind of thing please!

But the real world doesn't provide anything like the same conditions as the Old World to provide a control setting for how a religion would manifest, does it?

Whilst we are on the subject of Power Behind the Throne what does the Weapon Quality Peak Leveller for the Middenland Runefang within Boris Todbringers trappings do? For the life of me I can't find the rules for the Runefangs in any 4th edition book (I know porting the Runefang rules over from 1st e...

As Orin J said the licences are never outright sold. There is an extensive vetting process to ensure the apprentice is the right calibre. However once the licence is granted there is a yearly fee. This seems to vary depending on the edition. The value of currency also varies between editions as well...

I've finished reading Shrines of Sigmar. Not sure if this needs spoilers or not but just in case.... First, brass tacks. I thought this was excellent as a short source book. The Shrines are different and unusual enough that they would be worth including merely to add flavour to a location if nothing...

Those are interesting points Dustman and I think from a GMing POV definitely gives me some food for thought about how divine magic should be viewed and perhaps how the general population understands magic. That said I'm not sure the polytheistic pantheon described in WFRP would inspire an intense fa...

I have to say that having read through the entire thread I am scratching my head somewhat as to exactly what the debate is. For starters The Imperial pantheon being "unrealistic" begs the question: by what standard? Something that has only been given a cursory examination is that compared ...

I really like the idea of using End Times material as Nostradamus style prophecies. Apologies but consider that stolen

Interesting idea advancing the timeline 15 years after the Storm of Chaos. Was the SoC just a failed Chaos incursion or was it the first stage of a long, protracted End Times ...... Any ideas about why mutation is rampant 15 years later? Is it just because there are more Chaos cults, or has there b...

I very much like the 'mundane realpolitik' following the high(er) fantasy Storm Of Chaos. I think that there could be more of this realpolitik in this version of the present day Olde World.... ........ This is very Empire centric. I think some thought needs to go into what was happening elsewhere i...

Having played WFRP through various different editions and iterations of the lore for the past 25 years I have always been interested in how to marry up some of the WFB GW developments, traditional 80s WFRP and the newer editions. And of course The End Times gave a fresh challenge. I'm afraid I am no...

When you look at the CN of some of the higher level spells my thought was that the design of the system was meant to be a magic user builds up their advantage through lower level spells and then unleashes the really powerful stuff. If a caster can't build advantage I don't really know how the higher...

Broadly agree with Orin J. If it was my game I would rule that it was linked to how closely the character was still fulfilling the role of a priest. A Priest of Ranald could mechanically change career to Thief but still very much be a priest of Ranald. Equally a priest of Ulric could probably change...

Holding off a horde of goblins whilst defending a fort or farmstead. Classic last stand stuff. Of course this being wfrp the players would probably find a way of scarpering with the valuables and leaving their comrades. WFRP Military scenarios are also an opportunity to put in some of the more extra...

Thanks, this follows my line of reasoning especially re the bridges. I think the location may have been left intentionally ambiguous. (Btw the reference to Potion Square being on Luydenhoek is blink and you miss it. It's in italics in the first Potion Square article in White Dwarf and never mentione...

Hello. Hope this isn't too obvious a question. My PCs have just come to Marienburg where I intend to run a series of scenarios. I will of course be making use of Marienburg Sold Down the River and intend to use the series of White Dwarf articles which include Potion Square, a community in the Distri...
