Hey everyone, I remember a few years back we were given a general comparison of each game line (Rogue Trader, Dark Heresy, Deathwatch, etc) and how much experience points a starting character in one game line would equal to in Dark Heresy. If my info is right it went along the lines of
Dark Heresy 1E = 400 xp
Only War = 2,600 xp
Rogue Trader = 5,000 xp
Black Crusade (human) = 8,000 xp
Black Crusade (marine) = 8,500 xp
Deathwatch = 13,000 xp
So a dark heresy character would want another 4,600 xp if he wants to go on wacky adventures with rogue traders and a rogue trader would want another 3,000 xp if he wants to go do stuff with his new chaos marine friends.
But all of that said, what I am wondering is where does Dark Heresy 2E fit into all of this? I could be wrong here but the starting PCs in 2E seem stronger and better off than in 1E so do they count as more than 400 xp? I know you have a set amount of xp you can spend at character creation but the formula above takes into account more than just the experience points you start with since each game had its own "power level" it played at. So do we have a clear answer on this or has anyone managed to figure out a rough estimate?
