Gaining Wounds

By Adeptfeist, in Rogue Trader Rules Questions

In the entry for wounds, it says that experience may be spent to increase wounds, but I couldn't find the xp costs. Could someone tell me where to look?

Look up the "Sound Constitution" talent.

is that the only way]

Within the rules you can allow sound constitution as elite advances in addition to what they may get through their career.

Everything else would be a house rule such as.

You could rule that in increasing your toughness bonus would gain you wounds equal to what you would get during character creation.

Or perhaps certain bionics/augmetics increase wounds (maybe based on quality), an example of a good candidate would be black bone bracing.

Maybe you would allow the players to burn a fate point to permanently gain 1-5 wounds..

Really whatever fits your needs.

After character creation, does raising your Toughness (to a new bonus level) raise your Wounds?

In RAW it does not, though a number of GMs will allow it. I do in my game, because honestly, buying toughness advances to increase wounds is not a good idea if you've got access to Sound Constitution.
