DARK HERESY

Information for the Players

Character Classes Available

In the Initial game the following characters are available:

        Arbitrator and Guardsman characters are automatically available (minimum 1 Arbitrator)

        A Cleric and Scum character are also required

 

At all stages of the game the following Classes are available:

        Adept, Arbitrator, Cleric, Guardsman and Scum characters will be available at most times and most places

        Assassin, Psyker, Tech-Priest and Adepta Sororitas characters are available only with the permission of the GM and only in certain locations or circumstances.

 

Character Generation

When it comes to working out your character they must be Hive-born from Scintilla and the stats are generated differently to the usual random 2d10.
        Start off with the basics for a Hive character (20 for each stat with -5 Toughness and +5 Fellowship) and then assign 90 points across the board to whatever you want.
        Only one stat is allowed to be <+5 and only one is allowed to be >+15

As far as starting Wealth is concerned assume a d10 result of 5

Hit Points start at 11 for each character.

Each character starts with 3 Fate points.

        I am allowing the permanent burning of a Fate Point for the gaining of an Advanced Skill; this must be discussed privately with me first.

I will also accept optional packages from the Inquisitors Handbook, but you had better have a damn good reason why a hick PDF personnel unit has a chance for these packages!

You are to take the youngest age possible for your characters with a d10 rolls of '5' being assumed.
        You are all as green as can be (after all, who else would volunteer for a mission into the bowels of a Hive!)

The Divinations (p34) are still a random d100 as per the rulebook.

Once you have designed a character please send it to me also with a rough idea of your character personality and motivations.
        Note that character sheets are encouraged to be kept secret from other players.
As for motivations I am particularly interested in:
  
 -    Your level of Faith in the God-Emperor and the Imperium of Man
                Note that Clerics, Commissars, the Inquisition and even your average citizen do not take to lack of Faith in the Emperor and blasphemy or disrespect is LIKELY to end up in your death
  
 -    Your level of hatred for heretics/ xenos/ criminals/ your mother... whatever...
  
 -    You were born on Scintilla and grew up in Hive Sibellus, why did you join the PDF/Arbitrators or Ecclesiarchy?
                It wont change your starting money or equipment so don't bother trying to be the rich son of a noble family doing his duty unless that is really what you feel.
  
 -    What motivated you to volunteer for this mission into an area of the Hives that has been abandoned (probably for good reason)?
   
-    Since you are possibly going to continue on with this character into the future what it your honne (Japanese for 'True Face')? What are your hidden aims?


There will be options for changes in character classes later. Contact me if there is anything in particular you want down the track and I will let you know what your chances are.

        All new characters are to start at level 1
