The potential positives are a given for me - but here are some of my concerns:ġ. Imo WotR wend sideways from kingmaker rather than forwards - They have shown they can do the crunch well, if janky, but now do the RP bit of cRPG pls! They don't even need to have long term impacts, but more choices. What I really want is for Owlcat to step their Role-playing up - more choices. Prediction is a ship-maintaining side as the 'kingdom management' or perhaps a 'Rogue-traders realm'. Lots and lots of talents - feat equivalent - but purchased centrally with XP.ĭifferent Skills and talents become available as you level up.Īll XP from a central pool goes into these three, rather than having a three-fold of stat increases every X levels, Skill points and feats. Lots and lots of Skills - I wonder how they will simplify this I do not know how this would work with MC - are you always a Rogue Trader? And the classes are all cool, very different from the Pathfinder/D&D mould. Void master - Runs the ship, jack of all trades, master of. Seneschal - Administrator/Accountant/Trade Specialist/Rogue who runs the finances and trade of the ship Pseudo-mages/kineticists/diviners who navigate for space-ships. Missionary - Clerics of the non-magical sort. But astropaths tend to have more of a lid on it than other types.Įxplorator - Technophilic Engineers with a strong religious bent. One of 40k's gimmicks is that using magic is very dangerous, and that 'magic using' characters are almost as dangerous to themselves and their allies as to their enemies. You also have classes (called career paths):Īstropath - Specialist 'Mage' who can communicate long distances across space. Homeworld choices for small changes to character (race equivilent) I have the book lying around and it is cool, but deffo a rpg designed with tabletop in mind.ĩ Stats: Weapon Skill, Ballistic skill, strength, toughness, agility, intelligence, perception, willpower, fellowship Some interesting things about the original FFG rogue trader system - if that is what they are actually going to use. Become a Rogue Trader endowed with great authority, discover new worlds and shape the future of the Imperium! Join this fantastic story! Imagine fighting alongside a mighty power armoured Space Marine, a lethal Aeldari Ranger, or even a courageous Sister of Battle armed with bolter and ardent prayer - these characters and many others will join you. No Rogue Trader travels alone: on this dangerous journey into the unknown, you will meet faithful and sophisticated companions. You will prove your strategic and tactical skills in high-impact turn-based battles against powerful opponents. You will make fateful decisions that affect the lives of entire worlds. While travelling between the stars, get ready to come across potential allies and dangerous enemies of the Imperium, Chaos cults and alien Xenos counting among the most treacherous and deadly. Exploration will bring the protagonist to mysterious lost and forgotten worlds as well as numerous planets claimed by humanity - from lush Agri-Worlds to steel-clad Forge Worlds, all of them ready to be claimed for your burgeoning merchant empire or plundered for their riches.
