Human - Slayer/Barbarian something-ish?

By Wolfmanss, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Hey peeps.

Ive read alot of stuff on this game, looks AWSOME really!

but.

It allso looks like that my "Arnold Barbarian Berserker" kinda type isnt an option?

I love Chaos Chosen, but that road isnt open in 3rd edition, im that kinda guy who like to.... compensate if u will. Ive allways been this kind of player, its exactly my kind of mindset ( Dunno if u know the old PC game "Severence", i allways, AND only played the human Berserker) :P I like being big, i like killing, and i hate being settled with small dwarfs and standard humans.

Will i be able to be human with greatsword and still equally offensive abilites as the Troll Slayer for example? If so, who have i missed? cuz slayer is only dwarf careers right?

Greetings and upfront thanks!

Simon

If you have (or can get your hands on) pit fighter comes in Adventurer's Kit. He's mean, (not-)green, fighting machine. Though there's no special cards for him you can (if i recall right) taken troll feller strike etc. for him - it's just not so useful as he's not a small bearded drunkard with spiky orange hair.

And after all didn't ArnoldConan spend his childhood training to be a pit fighter... ;)

Perhaps Zealot? I know it sounds odd but he's a frothing madman with violence issues. There's absolutely no reason you couldn't build him with a great weapon and the Frenzied Attack action. He doesn't have to look ragged and half starved - he can be the hulking, muscled brute you dream of.

To be fair though, you could build a barbarian with any combat career such as Mercenary or Pit Fighter. You just need to your equipment, actions and talents appropriately. Ignore the pictures on the cards and you can build any character you want.

I made a Norsca Babarian Career Sheet. If you want i can mail it to you. And I bet you will recognise the picture on it gui%C3%B1o.gif

Lautrer: That would be just awsome! id very much like that indeed, my mail is [email protected]

Doc & Bertoc: Didnt knew there was a pitfighter at all. Thats quite cool, allways played Chaos on tabletop so my vision of imperial is wimpy paperpushers :P

Thanks alot for the awnsers, now its time to do something drastic to get that Warhammer kit!

Have a good one guys!

Done!

A Norse Berserker definitely sounds like what you're looking for. But a Pit-fighter or Mercenary with a two handed sword and some appropriate actions (I believe there's a berserker rage card or something like it), you can make a pretty kick-ass human warrior.
