"For all those who came in late..." - Lee Falke
Hi All,
It's been ages since I posted anything on this forum, but I am still alive and GMing.
Recently I decided to give my long term Dark Heresy players (The Search For Victory crew) a chance to Respec their characters. During the process of which I got to thinking that I really need to make a list of where and what every alternate rank is for Dark Heresy.
So I decided to compile a list and share it with everyone. While I was making an Index of the Alternate Ranks I also saw, so many Minor Psychic Powers that I had forgotten as well as many other pieces of information. From their my Index grew and grew and once I had finished I decided to make my way through all the other books.
Explanation aside...
Here is a Index of things I found useful to have a quick reference for. IT IS AN INCOMPLETE LIST for starters it doesn't cover any of the adventure modules and rule additions contained within. It also tends to only have a few references to things in the Core rules and any material referenced should be consulted directly this is in no way a complete list of the requirements for the options indexed.
What this is not:
This is not a cheat-sheet, it is not designed to replace any of the books, it is just a Name and an index as well as a semi-thematic description of whatever is listed.
What the Deathwatch Index covers:
The third part of the Index is the most all-encompassing, to begin with it breaks down each section by Astartes Chapter. Each Chapter then lists any Solo Mode Abilities, Squad Attack Patterns and Defensive Stances that they directly possess. It then lists any Advanced Specialties tied to that specific chapter. As well as listing any Successor Chapters which can be designed based of their Progenitor. For may chapters the Index also lists any Chapter Specific Psychic Powers not found in the Core Rulebook.
This section concludes with entries listing the Legion of the Damned as well as the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) related abilities and those which can be earned from experience within the Jericho Reach's various fronts and dealing with its secrets.
After all that the Index then lists the Specialties which may be taken by the specific Deathwatch Careers before listing the possible Elite Advance, Followers option. Next the Index includes a list of the Deeds found within the various Supplements and any Chapter/Specialty restriction. It similarly lists the Oaths found in the additional material.
Finally this part of the Index gives a short listing of additional Psychic Powers found in the supplements which are primarily used by NPC's.
In addition, the Index also covers the other 1st edition Warhammer 40k RPG game lines and provides similar Indexing for the other lines to varying degrees.
Where Is The Index
You can find the Index at the following link, it is a view only Google Sheet.
For those with Google you should be able to save a copy of the sheet for your own use. For those who wish to see an Addendum to the Index or have comments/suggestions please leave a message in this thread.
I hope this can be of some assistance to everyone.
Enjoy!

p.s. Please ignore any and all spelling mistakes cause I'm sure their are plenty.
