In your case, +10 with a lasso!

If you learn other specialist missile weapon skills, it will count for those also (anything but a bow or crossbow is a specialist weapon, pretty much).

So I have a 68 BS with a lasso? Nice! I'm going to use it on the goblin when we find him.

Uh, yes, you do! That's really high, actually.

It's because I'm awesome.

Evidently!

I will only call you Mr. Rope from now on.

OK, I've edited everyone's character sheets so they have all the important information, and are in the same general format. That should make things clearer!

Everyone has to complete their basic career (that is, buy all the characteristic advances available to them, at 100 exp for each) before they can change career. This means Mortus will be able to change before the others, because wizard's apprentice has a very small advance scheme.

It costs 100 exp to change to a career listed in your career exits (may be a basic or an advanced career). Or you can choose another basic career from the same class (so another academic career if an academic) for 100 exp. Or a basic career from a different class for 200 exp.

The new class will have a new advance scheme, new skills, and new equipment you will need. You don't start with any of those!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #206 on:** June 08, 2012, 07:43:10 AM »

Mucho fantastico! I guess I want to become a Sharlatan at some point if that is possible. Do you have a list with other skills that we can buy?

I like having luck.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #207 on:** June 08, 2012, 08:35:19 AM »

You want me to type out all the skills in the game?

There are a lot! I suppose I should though. Maybe list all the advanced careers too.

Don't forget it's hard to learn a skill that isn't from your career - you need a teacher or practical experience, and then spend 100 exp and pass an Int test to learn it. It's often easier to change to a career that has the skill, in which case you just pay the exp and you learn it automatically.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #208 on:** June 08, 2012, 08:38:34 AM »

Ahh...ok so there are no career skills for a gambler left for me so it would be better to do all my advances in the gambler carreer (like I and W and Bs) and then move forward to the next career.

Is there a rogue career that has the use of exotic weapons (pistols)?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #209 on:** June 08, 2012, 08:42:25 AM »

Hmmm, not sure. The pistol skill is quite rare. I'll have a look.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #210 on:** June 08, 2012, 08:48:40 AM »

Most likely shooting pistols will be as dangerous for me as for my opponents. Most Warhammer rules are written by blackpowder haters me thinks.

Still nothing more satisfying than threatening someone with a loaded gun. Money or Life......or we could do a game of cards.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #211 on:** June 08, 2012, 09:09:13 AM »

Gunpowder technology is less advanced in WFRP than it is in warhammer, so it's a bit rubbish. It will intimidate people though.

It looks as though the only basic career with the specialist weapon: firearms skill is the coachman (a ranger career). The only advanced careers with the skill are gunner, duellist and highwayman.

Though actually the rulebook disagrees with itself over whether it's one skill called 'firearms,' or one each for pistols and blunderbusses. I think it makes sense for it to be one skill. They work the same way. Plus I'm sure I have another book with additional rules for gunpowder weapons somewhere, that has things like the duck's foot pistol. I'll have to find that.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #212 on:** June 08, 2012, 09:30:42 AM »

I guess in that case I just raise my intelligence (I hope Sharlatan has the intelligence +20 advance thingy) and hope for the best.

Pew pew pew.

Maybe you should raise your cool.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #214 on:** June 08, 2012, 10:49:24 AM »

Ha!

Charlatans get +20 to Int and Cl. Plus various other stats.

I'll give more info on specific careers when people are in a position to change - which won't be until after this adventure in any case, since there won't be time.

Also, I've put all the rules I've explained so far in a couple of posts in the character sheet thread, for reference.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #215 on:** June 08, 2012, 11:51:41 AM »

Perfect!

Thanks Rufus. Now please mark on the map where the magical duel pistol is hidden and also the dragon treasure with the already dead Dragon (he had a stroke).

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #216 on:** June 08, 2012, 01:59:45 PM »

The WFRP rulebook has a hilariously D&D-like section on magic items, that the writers of Shadows over Bogenhafen clearly never looked at.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #217 on:** June 08, 2012, 02:49:26 PM »

Does Klaus know that Mortus is a Witch...pardon Mage Apprentice?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #218 on:** June 08, 2012, 03:07:45 PM »

I don't think so.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #219 on:** June 08, 2012, 03:13:50 PM »

Roger that so no need to feel uneasy around some chaos worshippers.

commandant · « **Reply #220 on:** June 08, 2012, 03:33:01 PM »

Mortus would never have allowed any sign of her interest in magic to be shown to her travelling friends.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #221 on:** June 08, 2012, 03:37:30 PM »

Than cheers Miss Sophie lets enjoy our food while the others hunt after shadows...and hopefully don´t get killed.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #222 on:** June 08, 2012, 04:32:34 PM »

Great roleplaying, Fandir and commandant!

Something will probably happen in the tavern later on.

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #223 on:** June 08, 2012, 09:18:20 PM »

Something sexy.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #224 on:** June 08, 2012, 10:02:41 PM »

If by 'sexy' you mean 'not sexy', then yes.
