Kroot Problems

By Buddy, in Rogue Trader

One of my playered started playing a Kroot, some time ago, (that im very excited about) because his old " Void Master" choosed to fly his Customed made Fighter into a warp storm to disable a dangerous Yu'vath device that was createing the Warop storm, so rouge trader could flee from another dangerous and mystical rogue trader, onfuntely he diddent suvired the experinced, but that have nothing to do with this.

The problem is that there was a very intressed morale and emoinal problem between the players in the game about what was wrong to do and what was right, and its make the game very fun and intresting. But i have trouble to get the Kroot into this problem and, its kind bothering me and the player who play the kroot, so we talking about maby he should change to something different, ofcause we would prefere to avoid this, so would hear if there was anyone who got idear how i could get my player into this ??

One more thing im sorry about the spelling not that good at english have never really learnt it d;

If I'm reading it correctly you are looking for a way to get the Kroot character involved in morality debates and the tough decisions that often face RT command crew.

That is a tough one as the Kroot are generally pretty predatory and pragmatic in outlook.

I know that over time Kroot can take on some of the characteristics of the species they consume. If this particular Kroot had spent some time eating humans, eldar or Tau he could easily have picked up the beginnings of a conscience or sense of community beyond his clan or warsphere.

If that doesn't work for you how about some archaeotech/psionic or xeno incident that links the Kroots mind to those of the Bridge crew briefly. Such an experience could be life-changing and create a bond between the mercenary and his new emplyer species.

Good luck with it. The use and abuse of immense power and wealth are core themes in RT and it would be annoying for a player to miss out on that aspect of the story.

make the player understand that he should take a vary "alien" approach of all those moral debate... Is Kroot as other totally alien ideas.

Kroot see genetical evolution as important and self evolution to becoming the top predator. Where you say he does not have the same as the others, it's not true he can but for totally "alien" reasons.

- N'ot a good idea to nuke this planet..

- why?

- the whole population makes good snack for War Sphere XYZ...

- This is horrible!!!

- You want to nuke planet? 'Esssss?

- Yes but...

- Why but? This is most efficient! You not like profit? War Sphere Generous! Many Many genetic strain available for you! Food trade, humans, orc, and eldar food!

- you mean you harvest food for other race?

- No! We harvest other race's dead for food! A kill is food!

- So that thing we killed yesterday

- Tasted nasty....

in the end it is a real RP challenge, if he as the know how to. It will take a few sessions but you two should define is goal, trials,etc and make is tough really unique.

I would mix predators, some other tribal alien with a bit of tecknow-how and more mistical/barbarian how-too (shapers) and another race of your liking (each sphere clan is from a different genetic harvested line).
