//After some deliberation, decided that Bonesingers are not appropriate for the Only War game, and would be better suited to an alternative theme.

I would delete this post but I have no idea how.

Farseer

Characteristic Bonus - +10 Willpower, +5 Fellowship, +5 Perception, -10 Toughness, -5 Strength. Farseers are powerful Psykers with a grasp on the future, but this level of dedication to the mind leaves them physically more fragile than their kin.

Aptitudes - Willpower, Perception, Fellowship, Intelligence, Psyker, Social, Defence, Knowledge

Starting Skills: Psyniscience, Forbidden Lore (Psykers), Charm or Deceive

Starting Talents: Foresight, 400xp worth of Psychic Powers.

Starting Traits: Psyker, Psy Rating 3, Eldritch Mastery

Specialist Equipment: Runic Armour, Ghosthelm.

Starting Wounds: 6 + 1d5

Advances:

Increase Psy Rating
Runes of Witnessing (250xp)
Runes of Warding (300xp)

Having studied the Dark Eldar rules for Rogue Trader, I've decided on a number of base modifications for the Eldar stats.

Eldar Characteristics vs Human Characteristics

To generate characteristics, Humans roll 2d10 + 20.

Eldar will be slightly different.

Eldar generate characteristics using the following table

Weapon Skill - 2d10 + 20
Ballistic Skill - 2d10 + 20
Strength - 2d10 + 15
Toughness - 2d10 + 15
Agility - 2d10 + 25
Intelligence - 2d10 + 20
Perception - 2d10 + 25
Willpower - 2d10 + 20
Fellowship - 2d10 + 20

Or if its more comfortable, think of all Eldar having -5 Toughness and Strength, + 5 Agility and Perception, before other modifications.

Medical Attention - Non-Eldar Medics attempting to heal an Eldar suffer a -10 to their Medicae test unless they possess Forbidden Lore (Xenos)

Alien Visage - Eldar characters have very distinctive features, and suffer a -30 penalty to Deceive when attempting to pass themselves off as members of another species.

Eldar Knowledge: All Eldar begin play with Common Lore (Eldar) and Linguistics (Eldar). For the sake of interaction in a mixed game, consider giving Linguistics (Low Gothic) as an Automatic.

Matchless Grace: All Eldar benefit from Unnatural Agility (2).

Speak Not Unto The Alien: Eldar suffer a -20 to all Interaction tests with Imperials, due to the Xenophobic distrust between them.

Dark Reaper

Aptitudes - Ballistic Skill, Finesse, Perception, Offence, Agility, Strength

Talents - Weapon Training (Heavy) & Combat Sense or Rapid Reload

Specialist Equipment - Dark Reaper Aspect Armour (Includes Omni-Scope), Reaper Launcher

Advances; Guiding Fire (As Gun Lugger), Hammering Storm (As Sentry)

Fire Dragon

Aptitudes - Agility, Finesse, Willpower, Toughness, Tech, Intelligence.

Talents - Jaded & Technical Knock, or Hipshooting

Specialist Equipment - Fire Dragon Aspect Armour, Fusion Gun, 2 Melta Bombs, 5 Demolitions Charges

Advances:

Dragon's Breath (250xp) - The Guardian Comrade accompanying the Exarch into battle is issued a flamethrower, which he can use as a full action to force enemy infantry within the flamethrower's normal range to make a Challenging Pinning Test, the intention of which is to provide cover support to allow the Fire Dragon to close on armoured targets unhindered.

Blaze of Glory (300xp) - The Path of the Fire Dragon is inherently incredibly dangerous, and many Fire Dragons accept that their lot is to die gloriously for the Eldar people. A Fire Dragon who purchases this advance may engage in a Charge action toward a target - that does not need to bring them into melee combat - and make an attack action against that target using their fusion gun. If the Fire Dragon opts to draw Melta Bombs during this action, they may instead plant the Melta Bomb upon the side of an adjacent vehicle at the end of their charge.

Howling Banshee

Aptitudes - Agility, Finesse, Strength, Offence, Toughness, Weapons Skill

Talents - Ambidextrous & Streetfighting Or Blademaster

Specialist Equipment - Howling Banshee Aspect Armour, Banshee Power Sword, Shuriken Pistol

Advances; Brutal Encouragement (As Bone'ead)

Wail of the Banshee - The Banshee may, once per combat encounter, loose a soul shaking keen, granting her Fear (1) for that battle. (300XP)

Credit to SynfulJester for the Banshee advance idea.

Striking Scorpion

Aptitudes - Agility, Fieldcraft, Strength, Perception, Offence, Weapon Skill

Talents - Sure Strike & Quickdraw or Ambush

Specialist Equipment - Striking Scorpion Aspect Armour, Scorpion Chainsword, Shuriken Pistol

Advances - Silent Ambush (As Scout), Two Against The Odds (As Brawler)

Due to what we felt were difficulties in allowing a Crimson Hunter to fulfil his role, and the dependency on Shadow Spectres on operating in squads -of- Shadow Spectres, they have been cut as specialties from this system conversion for the sake of saving workload and practicality.

Dire Avenger

Aptitudes - Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, Agility, Offence, Defence, Perception

Talents - Combat Formation & Double Team, OR Rapid Reaction

Specialist Equipment - Dire Avenger Aspect Armour, Shuriken Pistol, Avenger Shuriken Catapult, Diresword

Advances -

Bladestorm (250xp) - The Dire Avenger rushes forward at full speed, sliding to a halt at the end of a Double Movement with a spray of fully automatic fire from his ranged weapon. (Credit to SynfulJester and co for this one)

Kin's Aegis (300XP) - The Dire Avenger is able to lend his reactions - up to as many as his normal total - to his fellows. The Dire Avenger may use this ability as a free action (of the Concentration subtype) during his own turn, requiring him to think tactically about which allies he may need to assist in the coming flurry of activity.

Shining Spear

Aptitudes - Agility, Fieldcraft, Finesse, Strength, Perception, Weapon Skill

Talents - Unstoppable Charge OR Push The Limit & Takedown

Specialist Equipment - Shining Spear Aspect Armour, Laserlance, Shuriken Pistol, Mono Sword

Advances -

Monster Hunter (Base idea borrowed from SynfulJester) (300XP) - When charging an enemy, a Shining Spear's weapon gains the Felling (4) property.

Crack Manouvering - As Tank Ace

Swooping Hawk

Aptitudes - Agility, Perception, Ballistic Skill, Willpower, Offence, Fieldcraft, Finesse

Talents - Sharpshooter & Lightning Reflexes OR Marksman

Specialist Equipment - Swooping Hawk Aspect Armour, Lasblaster, Swooping Hawk Grenade Pack, Swooping Hawk Wings

Advances -

Elusive (300xp, credit to SynfulJester) - The Swooping Hawk can make a number of extra reactions equivalent to half it's Natural Agility Bonus.

Distraction (250XP) - The Swooping Hawk can send his comrade to distract the enemy, drawing their fire to himself. The Swooping Hawk makes an Opposed Stealth Test with the enemy to escape into the air unnoticed, and the enemy care considered unaware of the Swooping Hawk for this round. However, this breaks cohesion with the Hawk's comrade.

Warp Spider

Aptitudes - Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, Agility, Perception, Willpower, Offence, Finesse

Talents - Hard Target or Leap Up & Lightning Reflexes

Specialist Equipment - Warp Spider Aspect Armour, Death Spinner*

*Exarchs can select to take an additional Death Spinner instead of a Best Quality Death Spinner

Advances -

Group Teleport (250xp) - A Warp Spider with this advance can choose to take individuals in physical contact with him on a short trip through the Warp using his teleportation wargear. Should he opt to push it and the group becomes lost in the warp, any individual from the group may opt to Burn Fate in order to navigate the Warp Spider back to the Materium.

Surprise Attack (300xp) - If the Warp Spider uses his Warp Generator Backpack to teleport a half-move distance, and thus retain a half-action, he may then follow through with an attack, for which an enemy who has not readied an action in anticipation of such a manoeuvre is considered "surprised" by the Warp Spider.

A note on Eldar and Corruption.

Due to the nature of Eldar and their historic background, I'm considering the following rule for Craftworld Eldar and She Who Thirsts;

Craftworld Eldar are unaffected by Malignancies, however, at each major mutation phase, they must test willpower or lose 5 to all stats across the board. Any thoughts?

Kin's Aegis (300XP) - The Dire Avenger is able to lend his reactions - up to as many as his normal total - to his fellows. The Dire Avenger may use this ability as a free action during his own turn, requiring him to think tactically about which allies he may need to assist in the coming flurry of activity.

Very good question, and one which indicates people are actually reading this thread ^.-

I honestly hadn't taken it into account, but I would have thought that this would be a Free Action with the Concentration subtype, if that helps.

Thank you for puling me up on that.

Wraithguard

Prerequisites - 0 Fate Points, 5000xp, Must have performed a suitably heroic deed (GM discretion). May not be a Psyker.

Wraithguards lose their comrades.

Aptitudes - Ballistic Skill, Weapons Skill, Offence, Defence, Strength, Toughness

Talents - True Grit OR Sound Constitution (6)

New Traits - Auto-Stabilised, Size (Hulking), Sturdy, Weight of Years (Wraith), Wraith, Wraithsight, From Beyond, Unnatural Senses (Sight, Sound), Improved Natural Weapons.

Specialist Equipment - Wraithcannon OR Powersword & Shield Or Poweraxe & Shield

Advances -

Hardened Wraithbone (200 x Machine Level) - Increases the value of the character's Machine trait by one each time this is purchased.

Regeneration (300xp) - Whilst Wraithbone is a naturally regenerative substance, it typically requires the assistance of a Bonesinger to heal at any rate worth mentioning. The Wraithguard cannot be given First Aid, but will regenerate it's Machine trait's worth of damage per day unless it has been fully destroyed.

Traits;

Weight of Years (Wraith) - On attempting to make an Intelligence or Fellowship based skill test, regardless of degrees of success, the Wraith character must make roll less than his Willlpower Bonus on a d10, in order to plumb the depths of his unearthly conscience accurately enough to function.

Wraith - On becoming a Wraith, the character gains the Machine (1) trait. He may only advance as a Wraithguard. He cannot suffer from Blood Loss or Fatigue. He cannot receive the benefits of Non-Psychic Healing. The Character loses their Unnatural Agility trait. The character gains Unnatural Strength (2), Unnatural Toughness (2)

The character also is subject to the following Characteristics Modifiers;

-15 Agility, +15 Toughness.

Wraithsight - When there is no allied Eldar Psyker present, the Wraithguard must make a Challenging Perception test in order to act normally. Otherwise, it spends it's turn wandering aimlessly in a random direction. (Use of the Scatter chart is advocated).

Very good question, and one which indicates people are actually reading this thread ^.-

I honestly hadn't taken it into account, but I would have thought that this would be a Free Action with the Concentration subtype, if that helps.

Thank you for puling me up on that.

Re-phrasing:

I'm playing a Dire Avenger. Can I give my action (or parts thereof) to my buddy - or rather his Fire Fire Dragon, and thus let him attack again in the same round?

Double the Melta, double the fun.

I did specify Reactions.

That means things like Dodge and Parry. Not attacks.

As far as only one attack per round goes, in the case of reactionary attacks, you wouldn't get any more attacks than before.

The rule of one attack per round still applied unless otherwise specified.

Spiritseer

Prerequisite - Warlock

Aptitudes - Willpower, Psyker, Fellowship, Leadership, Defence

New Talents - Air of Authority & Combat Formation OR Into The Jaws Of Hell

Specialist Equipment - Runic Armour, Ghosthelm, Witchblade.

Advances -

Increase Psy Rating

Wraithguide (500xp) - The Spiritseer adds a Wraithguard to his retinue. This advance can be selected a number of times up to your Willpower bonus. The first time you select this advance, your Guardian Comrade is replaced with a Wraithguard.

Army of the Dead (500xp) - The Spiritseer co-ordinates the Wraithguards he leads in unleashing their assault. The Spiritseer makes a Difficult (-10) Willpower Test, and for each degree of success achieved, a member of the retinue may make a single ranged or melee attack, up to a limit of one attack per Wraithguard.

I did specify Reactions.

My bad, I read actions for some reason

*5 This small pack can be used to make one free attack per turn on any target flown over as part of the user's regular move, counting as being at Long Range.

*7 Wraithcannon - When a target is hit by a Wraithcannon, roll 2d10. This is the amount of damage the Wraithcannon inflicts, ignoring armour & toughness. In addition, if the damage result is 19-20, the Target is destroyed outright, regardless of the number of wounds it possesses (Fate Points may be burned as normal). If the damage result is 2-10, the target takes Damage and is teleported a number of metes equal to the result in a random direction. If the Target is teleported into the same space as another object, move the target into the closest available space, the target then takes 1d5 additional damage, ignoring armour & toughness (as can the object). As long as the Wraithguard is active, the weapon never runs out of power. If removed from the user, it falls silent forever.

Singing Spear (Melee/Thrown, Psy Rating x2 Range, 1d10 +5R Pen 5, Power Field, Force)
Void Sabre (1d10 +8 R Pen 2, Balanced, Tearing.)

Laser Lance (1d10 + 5 Pen 5, Lance)

*1 - Prim Cannons have three settings. Standard, Focused, Dispersed. Above is the Standard setting. Focused removes the blast quality, but doubles the Damage die, Raw Damage, Penetration). Dispersed doubles the blast quality but removes one damage die, halves penetration.)

*3 - The Diresword ignores damage reduction from Toughness Bonus.

Armour;

Mesh Armour (Head 3, Body 4, Arms 4, Legs 4)
Runic Armour (6 All round)
Ghosthelm (6 Head; Willpower test to negate Psychic Phenomena/Perils)
Dark Reaper Aspect Armour (7 All,Includes Omni Scope, Scanner, Omni-Scope, Rebreather, Photovisor, Microbead)

*2 Banshee Mask; When a Howling Banshee makes a Charge Action, she may choose to activate her mask as part of that action. The object of the Howling Banshee's Charge must pass a Difficult (-10) Willpower Test or count as Surprised (even if possessing Rapid Reaction) and suffer 1 wound for every two degrees of Failure. Targets with Resistance (Psychic Techniques) may use this talent against the attack. Wounds received in this way ignore all armour except fully-enclosed helms with auto-senses. In addition, while the Howling Banshee wears her helmet, she gains the Disturbing Voice talent)

*4 Swooping Hawk Wings; These allow the Swooping Hawk to glide safely down from any height and make an unlimited number of short jumps, doubling his base movement in any direction and ignoring all intervening terrain and obstacle. The Swooping Hawk must normally land at the end of his turn, but may use maximum power to gain the Flyer (12) trait for up to five minutes before the wings require a minute to recharge.

*6 Warp Jump Generator - This wargear allows the Warp Spider to make small controlled jumps through the warp, disappearing with a soft clap and reappearing many metres away with a rush of displaced air. The Warp Spider may double its base movement and ignore intervening obstacles. In addition, he may choose to push the mechanisms of the generator to move a further 2d10 metres with no penalty, but should the Warp Spider roll doubles ones, he must pass a Hard (-20) Willpower Test or disappear forever, claimed by the warp. Should he pass the Test, he may only take a half action next turn as he staggers into the material universe.

I borrowed heavily from SynfulJester's work with the unified 40k bestiary, though given it appears to be balanced for Space Marines, I have taken the time to nerf a number of items down to more manageable levels.

At this point I believe that the Eldar content is finished. If anyone feels that more should be added for PC Eldar, feel free to express themselves here on the topic. I may come back and make a new, tidied-up threat some time when I can work up the willpower, but I think for now I intend to leave it. Apologies if the layout is at all confusing.

From hereon, I intend to begin work on a Dark Kin Conversion, and beyond that, ONLY WAAAAAAAAAAAGH. As always, input welcome, and I'm happy to take requests within reason.

Looks solid to me. I might be tempted to snag this for a game and playtest it a bit soonish

Oh, please do. Save me the trouble lol.

I want to see how much abuse the rules can take and if any rebalancing needs to be done, but frankly, my players and I have our schedules absolutely packed for campaigns at current, and we wouldn't be able to run any playtests for long unless I incorporated them somehow into an existing game.

Besides, it would give me some pride in my work ^.-; Even if a fair amount of it is built on the foundations of others'.

Expect results in...several months then probably XD
