Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay n00bie

[Numion]

Thus anyone who decides to worship the Ruinous Powers (a.k.a. the Gods of Chaos) must hide their religous affiliation from their neighbours (bloody nosey sods!). This means that any rituals must be performed in basements or other such dank environs (the city sewers is a good place) and the remains of the sacrificial "volunteers" must be hidden afterwards (this can be difficult since entrails have a habit of slithering all over the place and heads like to roll into the darkest corners).

Or you could 'spread the love' by tainting thy neighbours with warpstone

Of course, not worshipping chaos is not guaranteed to protect yourself from witch hunters. Those lot are paranoid. I loved the old gazetteer where some villages had a population of 0, and explanation "burned by witch hunter"

I will love the political intrigue (and the chance to send hordes of diseased rat-men after them).

Ah, the skaven - I used them for some great slapstick scenes. Which does nothing to make them any less dangerous, of course.

Remember that skaven have an odd mixture of paranoia and overconfidence. Most of them don't believe for a moment that mere "man-things" are in any way their match. They simply aren't smart enough for that.

No, when one of their plans go awry, it must have been one of their Skaven rivals. By sabotaging their devices so that they explode at inconvenient moments. By sending them incompetent and untrained underlings. By tipping of the stumbling man-things about their plans.

In effect, the Skaven are a whole race of Mad Scientists. Or ninjas.

Until some other Witch Hunter with more backup accuses you of witchcraft. It has been known to happen...

This is where a good forger can really cause problems.

I look at the Forger as being like the Cleric is supposed to be in D&D - every party needs one.

what is a warpstone?

A witch-hunter sounds neat!

Kind of like a radioactive piece of chaos.
