Mark of Chaos Undivided

By Cardinal Nicodemus, in Deathwatch

Or specifically; how would you rule it? There are rules for individual chaos god marks, but none for undivided one. Are there any house rules on this? If so, I hadn't found them. All suggestions are welcome as I am kind of at a loss right now.

Why would they need a bonus? The Chaos Gods gift people with the Marks for following them, so I'm not sure whether, in the RP, them being given bonuses for not actually following any of the gods works.

They only really got them in the TT games because otherwise there'd be no point to playing anything other than an army dedicated to a god, so I'm not sure if it's needed here (since Chaos Marines would use the same Fear rules as Loyalists, which is what the Mark of Undivided did (almost) in the TT game).

On the other hand, why not? It's not like 4 chaos gods are the only entities in the warp and daemons/other entities are a diverse bunch. So, I don't see why worshiping chaos as a whole couldn't bestow some bonus if faith is strong enough and warp doesn't stab you in the face right away.

Just roll out the random mutation tables! Or give him demon armour or a chaos weapon.

As stated, marks for chaos undivided make little sense. Do all the gods of Chaos sit around together and say 'Hmm yes, well this chap serves all of us pretty well. Let's take a vote to see if we should give him a special mark'?

It makes more sense when you read about the newer Warhammer Fantasy stuff. Basically the undiveded lot worship chaos as a pantheon. Their marks would are lots of little marks and / or a lesser power or deamon prince as their major patron, which basically give a generic effect for games simplicity.

Obviously for a Chosen it doesn't make sense for them to be chosen by no power individually, more like they are chosen by lesser undefined power or deamon prince or believe that the at various points the different powers have given him aid. Like the Greek heroes who get an item from one god, advise from another gods temple. Also, they are chaos chosen so batsh!t insane by our standards.

But for the purposes of the RP game, do you need a generic mark? Wouldn't a specific one based on the exact character be better. Basically it's covered in the Deamonic Pacts in DH, I don't think they've gone into thay detail in DW.

A Single fate point per encounter for the side of the undivided, plus one per special npc.
