Dungeon Crawl - 2e

By The4th1, in WFRP Gamemasters

Hey.

I am planning a dungeon crawl for characters of the 4th tier or more(10k XP base), I think my dungeon may be too lame in terms of combat, the only real challenges are the BBEs and some stuff at the start.

Looking at lesser daemons, I believe they will be slaughtered by the party (having them as numerable as their God's favoured number, 8 for bloodletters. 6 for plaguebearers.. and so on) I do have some random encounter tables however, again, they may be too powerful for them. I could have champions of Chaos appear every so often because that seems to me to be the most ideal way of rising to their power level.

So what tips would you give me for stepping up to their level but not overwhelming them with super powerful warriors of khorne?

Hmm, are you sure you are talking about Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Third Edition?

D.

No. Why would you assume I'm talking about 3e?

Am I wrong in assuming I can't get help for 2e?

Because 3rd Ed is the current edition of the game, and this is the forums put up by the manufacturer of that current edition. The vast majority of posts here are about 3rd Ed. You didn't specify that you were talking about 2nd Ed WFRP, so your post is a little confusing.

There may in fact be someone here who can help you. But if you're posting questions about previous editions of the game, it's probably a good idea to specifically mention that your question is about a specific edition. The new edition uses some terminology, but is very different in a lot of ways. In some cases it may be clear from context, but some of the folks here have never played 1st or 2nd Ed and may not be able to follow what you're asking about. If you don't say you're asking about 2nd Ed, you'll confuse people, and the folks who do know enough to help might miss your message.

By the way, a really good forum and resource for 1st & 2nd Ed WFRP can be found at Strike to Stun. You might get quicker and better answers there, since the focus isn't just on 3rd Ed. Here's a link:

Ah my bad, I'll edit my OP accordingly. Thanks.

First, put the Lesser Daemons through careers or they will be ripped to shreads.

Other than that, yes posting at Strike to Stun rather than here may get better results.

6 for plaguebearers..

Plaguebearers would be 7, that's Nurgle's number. Slaanesh is 6 :)

Ah ok :)

And you mean the Champion career right? :P

2E WHFRP the version that should not have died, IMO... Excellent set of rules, with less garbage to deal with than 3E.

When I was a boy, all the days were sunny, and every day we ate cake.

The cake is a lie!
