I've merged the two threads, since they were both covering the same ground.

Thanks Morrus!

The artwork for ZWEIHÄNDER includes both men and women throughout. We make no distinction between the sexes and their role from the perspective of our writing and artwork. There are male Prostitutes, female Inquisitors and even a sexually-ambiguous Squire. In the spirit of inclusivity, we’ve changed our cover art. Meet Gertrude “the Bride” Skolsdottir, the most bad-ass bounty huntress this side of the Old World!

Love the egalitarian philosophy. Looking forward to the game.

Hungry for more Professions? Take a look at the Courtier!

Today, we are pleased to present the complete list of Standard Professions. There are over 70 different choices, broken out by their role (or Archetype as we call it).

Each Standard Profession falls into one of six Archetypes: Academic, Criminal, Menial,Ranger, Socialite or Warrior.

Your Archetype shapes the choice you make in Intermediate and Advance Tier, as you move into a new Standard Profession. This mimics the Career Paths found in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, but with far more flexibility. In some cases, your Gamemaster may even allow you to move into an Elite Profession!

Take a look below, and enjoy some new artwork from Dejan Mandic!

ZWEIHÄNDER's Core Mechanics - Feedback Wanted!

In a grim & perilous campaign world, characters will find themselves enthralled in intense action scenes, the machinations of socialites, lethal melee, adrenaline-pumped chase scenes and horrific confrontations with aberrant creatures from beyond. Combined with raw abilities, your character is able to overcome various challenges by calling upon specific aptitudes. Learnt proficiencies that allow you to overcome challenges and tasks, build upon the foundation of your raw abilities. Your skills represent a specific command over situations your character has either grown accustomed to or exhibits a natural command over. And naturally, all challenges have their own measure of risk. The threat of failure is a constant reminder that no character, no matter how far along in age or experience, is immortal or able to conquer challenges without consideration of their environment.
