Greetings!

I have a short question about hatreds: What happens if a character attacks a foe that more than one of his hatreds apply to?

For example, Missionary#1 wants to slice open a Wolfpack pirate with his chain sword. Missionary#1 has both Hatred (Pirates) and Hatred (Chaos). So does he get +20 to the attack (stacking Hatreds) or just +10 (no stacking)?

Thanks in advance!

I'd allow the modifiers to combine. The fact that the opponent comes under more than one of the Hatred talents the character has just means that he hates him all the more.

I personally do not stack bonus from the same "origin" (psychological, equipment, psy-power). When there are multiple bonus coming from the same origin I only keep the best.

There is a talent in ascension called transcedent hate that has hatred (all) as a prereq.

It only gives +10 to any foe you declare as a enemy though, So I would say stacking is right out.

Otherwise you end up with the player arguing that the unbranded psyker is a criminal, mutant, psyker and possibly more for a min of a +30 bonus.

Definitely a heretic too.

Otherwise, yes, considering the overlap between certain categories, letting hatreds stack would get a little silly.

I allowed hatreds to stack in a previous DH campaign. With dual power fists and even a few hatreds, this got silly very quickly.

Hence, I'm capping hatred at +10% in future 40krpg games I run. Hate will only take you so far.
