Helpless Confessor?

By Gallota, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Hey Guys (and probably... Girls),

got a question for you.

Is it really true that the Confessor (Blood of Martyrs, p.61) starts with not a single Weapon skill?

I mean, he gets a snub pistol for starting gear, but don't know how to use it? And also on this new first Rank there is no Weapon skill....seems like an error to me. What do you say?

Looking forward hearing from you.... especially since I wanted to play my Confessor for days now....

Bye!

I would say it's a mistake.
If I was GM and one of my players wanted to start a Rank 1 Confessor I'd give him a choice of Stub Revolver or Club and Melee Weapon (primitive) or Pistol (SP).

In Other Words a simple weapon (Sp or primitive) and the skill he needs to use it.

Sounds like the perfect time for a houserule. Giving someone a weapon skill isn't going to break their character (assuming it's not plasma weapons or something (even then they'd have to GET one...)), so I think it's rather reasonable.

Hey guys,

after some hard pondering i realised my mistake. The Confessor Career Rank just replaces the starting Skills and not the starting Talents .These remain the standart Cleric starting talents.

My bad, sorry. But thanks anyway for the advice!

Ya they didn't really make that distinction clear though good thing you caught it.
