Silly character creation question: Starting abilities

By Ghaundan, in Black Crusade

Hi, me and some friends are going to start a black crusade campaign and when making a chosen I encountered a problem.

It says all CSM start with quick draw, but chosen have to choose between quick draw and rapid reload. Does that mean they if he chooses rapid reload he gets that, and looses quick draw or? Probably been asked before but it's just bothering me slightly.

No, you don't lose quick draw. It's part of the Space marine race package. It's just a choice you shouldn't be making, aka someone missed quick draw was already included. In other words, you just have rapid reload. Enjoy.

What Mort said.

Also, since the board doesn't let me post the above comment alone: Have you noticed how big the horns on my sorcerer helmet are?

Okay, I'll take your word for it. Although that does leave a question: why are chosen asked to choose between quick draw or rapid reload on their character page if they already have quick draw? Is it if they start blank or something?

Because someone done goofed. It is, unfortunately, not the first nor the last time someone's spotted an error in Black Crusade. Hell, just counting the times they list the Daemonic trait without an attached number is a drinking game that'll get you drunk!

Hehe, I don't mind a few mistakes (hell, I play warhammer fantasy and 40k...) just easy to get confused. Not sure how FG are with errata's? Would be nice to know if they meant for us to choose something else. But, it's not gamebreaking either way.

The errata will hopefully start appearing soon.

Oh, and Mort, those are indeed epic horns!
