TL;DR

Quote
"Max and Ragni catch everyone up on everything that happened."

That's one of their reasons for existing!


Time to plan for the Brunhilde/Elise/whatever ambush. Don't forget Anton is still stashed at the watch station (I think it was the North Gate station) if you want to bring him along.

Quote from: Anton
"She said something about a new hideout," Anton says, "but she hasn't told me where it is yet. She probably won't... I think she wants rid of me, in fact. Just like my old master." He sighs. "I'm supposed to meet her tonight at the Man o' War [location 44]. About nine o'clock. To give my report on what you've all been up to.

http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=42718.6200


Ulrun had some further information on the location of the new hideout.

Quote from: Ulrun's information
He also overheard that she had prepared a second hideout in the Altquartier, not far from an inn called The Last Drop [location 16 on the map]. She had some sort of arrangement with the local gang boss van Ouwater.

When did I last give out EXP? If I can't remember, it must be a while. I think it's due.

None for Ulrun! Sorry Mogsam, but Ulrun hasn't been around long... and started as an advanced character anyway.


Hmmm, mid-September was the last EXP. Definitely time! See the play thread.

Please say how you are spending it!

I keep track of when I advance things on my character sheet in the notes section at the bottom. You could check there. We last advanced September 13th.

Admund is going to Advance his BS, and then use the last 100 to complete his career, and advance to Mercenary Sergeant!

When i get the T upgrade i would be done with all my stat increases... so i could advance to spy. What happens to the skills i didnt choose? I feel i ask this every time i get xp but keep forgetting it.

Since I can only choose fellowship or leadership at this point, I have chosen leadership, and raised it by ten points.

Some rules:

1: you don't have to complete a career (defined as taking all skills and stat upgrades) before changing career, except where there is an obvious progression involved (such as wizard's apprentice => wizard, or mercenary => mercenary sergeant). You do have to complete your starting career though.

2: however, you do need the opportunity to change to the new career. This depends entirely on what it is: Max had to complete his degree in order to become a lawyer, and Admund did actually have to become a sergeant before he was allowed to take the mercenary sergeant career. Some careers, on the other hand, you can just start as you like - such as Klaus becoming a charlatan.

This is why Ragni hasn't changed career, despite having 700 spare EXP. And also I didn't want him to massively outclass everyone else at fighting!

3: it costs 100 EXP to change career.

4: if you change career without completing the current one, you can't take any skills or upgrades you missed, unless the new careers has them. Or unless I allow it for some reason.


Re: Klaus becoming a spy - I think you'd need a patron in order to be a spy. You aren't a spy unless you're spying for someone.


Quote from: Karl

Good! He should do that.

I'll supply you with the new advance scheme.


Quote from: Cannon

OK!

Hmmm, I'm not sure what career Heinrich could do next. He can be a witch hunter if he likes, since he has in fact been hunting witches. Klaus could take that career too.

A career doesn't always have to be one of your listed options. Opportunity is more important.


The career rules are extremely vague in WFRP v1!

Mortusz took the cast battle spells level 2, of course she doesn't know any.   Why brings me to a rather important point.   Mortus is floating 100 XP.   I thought it was because she spent it learning that summoning spell but I went back and read over the required entries and while there was some interesting stuff I didn't see anything about her spending XP on that spell.

There did she and I have failed to find itr or can she use it to learn a level two spell?

Mortus did use 100 EXP to learn the summoning ritual, but that was ages ago. Her last 100 EXP (from September) was not spent.

However, L2 spells don't cost 100 EXP. They cost 200.



Max spent his on +10 Dex. Ragni can't spend his!

I guess so!

The WFRP careers system looks flufftastic and amazing when you're just reading the rulebook, but it becomes very awkward when you try to use it in a game.


p.s. Nice outfit, Klaus!

Instead of taking the leadership can I switch careers? I feel like I am finished with targeteer. Is it possible for you to let me know all of my options? I know that's a lot of work for you.  :blush:

I think Klaus looks like a proper noble and on top he is wearing his cuirass and has some armour


Klaus will add +1 T with his 100 Xp

That's fine! I'll look into it and get back to you later!

After all the horrifying crocodile demons, monsters, and doomlords that Klaus has seen, you'd think that Klaus's Cl would have advanced!   :-P

He is rather brave....Cl 54 against demons and undead due to Sigmars help even 64. So he is even braver than Heinrich and especially braver than Admund (38...you coward!)

But he is also rather smart....and if Hemmingway is to believed....it is no cowardice if you know what is stupid.

I may have a 38 for Cl, but I have a 1000 for Cool after chopping off a doomlord's head with a flaming sword.

That's amusingly how I view Ulrun. He looks like a weirdly bearded Mel Gibson.

Once Ulrun learns "Ride" and we get him a horned helm:

I thought it might be followers of Haendryk, WFRP's Jewish Shylock caricature.
