[QUOTE="Rel, post: 3021613, member: 99"] I'm currently playing a Warhammer campaign and I'm loving it. So much so that my NEXT campaign will be a Warhammer game as well (though with a different setting and spin: Pirates of the Caribbean!). I concur with those who say that your starting career may well suck to high heaven. But rising from humble beginnings as a Rat Catcher or Charcoal Burner to become a Champion? Nothing more rewarding than that. If you want to survive, make sure to carry a shield early on. That free parry at +10% is a lifesaver! If you don't have a good Agility or lack the Dodge Blow skill, pile on as much armor as you can find. Seriously, there is just no substitute for a Toughness 5 PC in full plate. You can soak TONS of damage (says the player of Kraglok the Agitator->Shieldbreaker->Sergeant). Also, be particularly careful about not getting surrounded and outnumbered. If you're coming from a D&D background you might be used to killing two Goblins a round with with your Cleave Fighter. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN WARHAMMER. Even using a great weapon or Swift Attack you would be totally lucky to take down one guy in a turn. Make sure you gang up and put down one foe at a time and do everything you can to make sure that nobody gets outnumbered 3 to 1. And be exceedingly careful if you are fighting next to a big drop like a chasm or the deck of a ship. The Maneuver maneuver can send you plummeting to certain doom. It's also tremendous fun to do to an enemy! ;) Have fun and let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
