Northmen (the Norse, the Kurgan, the Hung) Characters and Careers

By jackdays, in WFRP House Rules

My new document features all the Northmen (the Norse, the Kurgan and the Hung) giving information and stats to build a Northman character. It doesn't go to too much detail per tribe (much more detailed info for example about the Norse can be found from my Norsca Project). The rules are for all the editions (WFRP3, WFRP2, WFRP1). Also you find huge number of new careers, which mostly feature northmen careers.

Kalevala Hammer - Rule Expansions

  • The Northmen .pdf features all the information and the rules building a Northman character.
  • WFRP3 - The Northmen Careers .zip has all the careers with career abilities and two follower cards. New basic careers : Berserker, Bondsman, Marauder, Reaver, Skald, Whaler. New Advanced careers : Beastmaster, Freeholder, Marauder Champion, Marauder Hero, Marauder Rider, Marauder Veteran, Slaver, Warleader, Warlord. (NOTE. I have left Chaos Warrior and Chaos Sorcerer careers out of these rules).

There was another topic, opened by me, before about the same subject. That was when I was creating these rules. I'm opening this new one, now that "source-document" and the WFRP3 career cards are ready. But all the ideas are still welcome - So, if you notice something wrong, maybe unbalanced career…etc., please comment.

PS. WFRP3 rules about the Norsca are coming also… It is little more bigger project. But I'll use same careers there.

I like it a lot, downloaded and stored in WFRP3/fanmaterial/jackdays

If I ever run a campaing in the north, or my players travel to the north I am going to use it. Nice work.

Actually, in general, if you look around, this fan community is very healthy and active: strange eons plug ins, game tool software, fantasy grounds software, liber fanatica, personal projects posted in the forums or blogs…

Now I would really like to see the fan scenario contest back!

Thank you!

By the way - I totally forgot to mention this:

In the document I suggest that for the Northmen magic-users (Seer, Vitki, Wastes Shaman…) you should use Witch and Warlock careers. I was going to expand this career-track also to higher tiers, BUT I decided to forgot those because you already did those.

So, if anyone needs more powerful Vitki or Shamans, you should use Yepesnopes "The Dark Side" careers.
