Moritat Reaper

By jak102789, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

One of my players wants to know something about how the Moritat Reaper class works. It doesn't seem to list an alternate class. Does this mean he can just pick things from that table at anytime? (assuming he meets the requirements) Or does it take the place of rank 6, which is the preq. Also what is their "favored" enemy? Didn't seem to see that in there.

Thanks!

As an alternate career rank it replaces a rank chosen by the player that meets the pre-requisites of the alternate career. So in this case you could choose to completely replace the Nihilator Rank (7) with the Moritat Reaper alternate rank table instead.

Going by the alternate rank table I would have said their favoured foes are heretics, mutants and psykers.

Given the trait which goes along with the background, that of The Bloody Edge , and its usefulness solely against the living, I would think that they typically prefer not to fight most warp entities or beings with the Machine trait. That said; heretics, mutants and psykers tend to be living beings who or often internal threats to the Imperium. Most death cults; which The Moitat most assuredly is, tend more towards removal of those internal threats, but will not scoff at other "challenges."

The Moritat background can be found on page 31 of the IHB , while the alternate rank is detailed on pages 74 and 75.

For my moritat I am leaning towards some leniency towards mutants from a background experience in Broken Chains where the mutants were more pious than the general populous. Instead hating demons and a general distrust towards the Mechanicum seemed a natural progression. The power is in the blood and since neither machines nor demons bleed really they are deemed offensive in the eyes of Him on Earth.
