If you want do do other stuff with the character, then you should look at their upcoming books like Rogue Trader.As it was initially talked about, it sounded like the games were going to be focused and sort of standalone. Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, and whatever the last one was. The last one was/is supposed to cover Space Marines as I recall.None of them were supposed to cover playing non-humans to my knowledge. Total humie love-fest. It was speculated that the new Rogue Trader book would be most likely to cover xenos as pcs, but nobody (to my knowledge) really knows if there'd be _any_ support for it, or which book it'd be in. Clearly it's not in the DH book.Spinachat seems to be spot on with his comparison to Call of Cthulhu. Personally, I don't like CoC at least not as most people seem to like it. DH falls into the same category. If you start talking about DH looking more like "Die Hard" than "Alien", it seems like you're going to get a lot of people telling you how you're doing it wrong. You're also going to have to jigger things a bit to get it over to the "Die Hard" side of things.Default DH rules seem to assume you're a chump (whereas the fluff implies you're not), and you're going to spend a fair amount of time as a chump.</blockquote>
