What I mostly find strange is that the Warrior role can't buy Weapon Training any more easily than most other roles, which for an archetype that's pretty much supposed to be about using ALL the weapons seems kind of strange. Even if, yes, in practice the added XP cost may or may not matter all that much. Well, and then there's the whole Ace thing.

Having never played Deathwatch (or any of the first edition 40k RPGs), I'm considering a Salamanders apothecary for a one-shot campaign involving a Tyranid invasion. Is there anything I should keep in mind? I've already discovered that the rules don't support learning Charm right away in my case, so I guess my dude won't get to be as chummy as I'd like with any ordinary humans he'll encounter.

In DH 2E, how viable is a character who more or less smashes everything into submission via Devastating Assault? I'm making a Ministorum Hierophant who is essentially meant to be a warrior-priest, wielding a big hammer and being pretty chummy/inspiring when he's not crushing heretics into a thin paste, but I have next to no experience with the system and don't know how much emphasis ought to be placed on defence. The character has none of the aptitudes needed for Dodge/Parry (All-Out Attack won't let him use them anyway) and his 3k XP budget is more or less accounted for, so he'd need to either count on armour/Toughness to soak up damage, or perhaps drop Devastating Assault and go for a more measured approach, I suppose? Measured is boring, especially in a setting where ridiculously oversized weapons are par for the course, but I don't want to come up with a character who's a liability or ineffective either.

Trouble is that my base Agility is an average 32 and I've got none of the relevant aptitudes, so buying up anything related to it is expensive as hell (500 XP for +5 Ag, 300 XP for Dodge +0). Base Toughness and Weapon Skill are about the same, but at least in the case of Toughness/Parry I've got one aptitude for each, which helps keep the costs down. At that point I probably should consider forgoing Devastating Assault and putting the XP in an Evasion skill, of course.

Werix posted:If it is a one shot, then double down on the gimmick melee character, not like you need to worry about longevity.  I'm really not going for a glass cannon per se; I just imagine the character to be someone who soaks up damage through sheer durability (armour/Toughness, high Wounds, etc.) while laying the smack down at close range with a big ol' warhammer. Which I suppose does make for a suboptimal build all things considered, but as the Imperial dictum goes: prayer cleanses the soul, pain cleanses the body.

Let's hope it'll be less complicated than the Dark Eye system Ulisses also publish. I haven't looked at its latest edition admittedly, but I own the 4th edition core rules and that poo poo just makes me go cross-eyed.

Sounds pretty cool all around, although I don't think I agree with the notion that going mapless in 5E is a good idea. W&G might shake out differently in mechanical terms, of course. I wonder what the fourth core race will be. Tau maybe? Off the top of my head I can't really think of any other races that are notable enough to warrant inclusion in the core book and are at least somewhat suited to existing in a party alongside humans and whatnot.

While I don't have a strong opinion on the new artwork either way, it does look rather clean and generic compared to most of the Dark Heresy art in particular. Leave it to the Internet to blow it all way out of proportion, of course.

I may be playing in a Black Crusade game soon. Is it viable to make a heretek who is decent at combat? I know that if any CSMs end up in the party they will almost invariably end up outshining me, but I'd like for her to be able to hold her own at least. Melee would be preferable because it's objectively more badass compared to just shooting things like some plebeian. I don't know yet where the GM stands on issues like "any two Good Craftsmanship cybernetics" ignoring availability (personally I'd consider a Servo-Arm to be a bit too far in the realm of cheese), or letting me grab four Mechanicus Assimilations as one of my freebie acquisitions.

Oh drat, determining whom the party works for and what they can bring to the table in terms of their influence and resources is a whole thing now. It looks pretty enticing, honestly, but I only do play-by-post and therefore am a stranger to campaigns that do not die in a matter of months at best.
