Hi, I'm entering into my first campaign of Dark Heresy soon and the party said they need an Acolyte to protect em, take damage, and succeed fear tests. Stuff like that. I have 1400 xp to start and want to make a Crusader Arbites build.

Here are his current stats:

If I drop both Strength upgrades and get an intermediate Toughness, I'll have just enough left for the Never Die talent, which looks AMAZING.

Or should I keep strength where it is? Maybe buy some more wounds?

Any advice appreciated!

You use DH2 rules, so maybe it'll be better to ask at https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/forum/394-dark-heresy-rules-questions/ - not that there were more people, to be honest...

In any case, Toughness Bonus is more useful than Strength bonus (other things being equal), and MUCH MORE useful than additional Wounds.

Hi, im playing Arbites Crusader from Feral for about 18 months and if u wan to be shield for your firends go and buy
True Grit (less critical as big as your TB)
Shield Wall (reroll after parry fail)
Deny the Witch (dodge after Psychik attack)
Sound constitution
Step Aside (one more evasion)
And boost Parry,WS and Thou

If u also want to make some dmg after that buy
Counter attack,
Crushing blow
One on one
Double team (if u have other guy with that skill which making melee damage)

Bth, how u want to get that two traits? Unnatural Strength u can get by buing muscles but Brutal charge? I dont have ide how to get that :<
