House rulebook

[Emirikol]

Attached is my Warhammer Fantasy D&D House Rulebook. Our group has been using it for a while now and are enjoying using the D&D rules in the Warhammer world.

[edit: now attached. Let me know what you all think.]

Looks very nice. Remember however that there are no half-elves (or other half races outside Chaos) in Warhammer world so cut them out.

Oddly enough, there are references to half-elves, half-orcs, gnomes and some other races in Warhammer.. If you go far enough back, and look in Blood Bowl, Warhammer, Warhammer FRP 1ed, Mordheim, and Warhammer Quest.

Edit (after looking over the current version)
I don't know how close to the current Warhammer setting you want to go, so take these with a grain of salt:
If your game is Old World - centric, you might want to consider the following: High Elves are known as Sea Elves by many Old Worlders. Dark Elves are ALSO known as sea elves (just to add to the confusion), or elven corsaires. Neither are native to the Old World or encountered in any large numbers. Consider chaniging the Eladrin racial power to match the Elf racial power. It's more fitting for the setting.

You might want to consider making the ogre a playing race. They are more common in the Empire than High Elves, and while not respected, they are not seen in the same light as greenskins or Chaos. They are seen more as big, fat, greedy mercenaries.

..and I just saw the link to your discussion group. Well, I'll post this on here anyways.

In first edition of WFRP, which is mostly obsolete for almost 20 years now. There is no mention whatsoever about half-orcs, half-elves or gnomes in WFRP 2, or last few editions of WFB, mordheim or anything from more recent times.
New fluff on orcs strongly implies that they have no females even and reproduce via a fungus hidden in their blood.

True. I was just pointing things out as fun facts, not implying that they should be in the setting.

While I dislike this, it is also true. (I -think- the fungus aspect was played up in Gorkamorka? But Space Orks and fantasy Orcs follow different rules since GW is now trying to seperate the two products). Keep in mind, though, that it is not official fact in the WHFRP. It's officialy conjecture. It's just what scholars believe (the same scholars that debate the existence of a vast empire of rodent men who live underneath the Old World). They also go as far as to say that snotlings, goblins, orcs, and black orcs might all be a greenskin at different ages (the older they get, the stronger, tougher, and bigger they get). The question then comes in: where do hobgoblins fit in?

That's really rather good.

How's it running in practice?

I was considering the only house rule for a WFRP game would be 'no being epic. ever.'
