I may just be blind, but I've spent the past hour trying to find where the book says how to determine a character's starting number of wounds. I saw that Noble-Born characters get an additional +D5 but nothing else on the subject.

Can anybody with better (and younger) eyes help me out?

Thank you.

Double your starting Toughness bonus and add 1d5 is the full line.

All the Home World entries have a Starting Wounds section. They are all "Double Toughness Bonus and add .. 1d5+X". Most are a flat 1d5, but some are more (Death World is the most, at 1d5+2)

Aaaah - I seem to be... not smart.

I read that as ALWAYS doubling the toughness bonus and then adding +X to starting wounds - I guess it would help if I read the section heading.

It makes a lot more sense now.

Thank you!

You are not alone sir, I did exactly the same and the only thing that made me realise my error was when I couldn't find a chart for determining wounds

I was going to ask the same question.
