Week 5 -Tandoshan Maruader

By Nimon, in Game Mechanics

I played up to the second chapter of the Kryat Dragon mod in the back of the book as a Trandoshan Maruader. I pumped my brawn up to 5 using my 90 exp. I knew this could be potentionally risky, especially not knowing what the other players would bring, but it paid off.

I found this combination to be very effective in melee, and having perception rank 1 from my race at least allowed me to notice some things, even if I knew nothing about them. Even against ranged enemies, my soak allowed me to close the distance and do some damage. In the future I probably will just go 4 brawn and get my agility up a bit, starting with 1 was a bit of a blow, but I got lucky with a roll.

In general I really like this system. I never played Warhammer Fantasy, but I have played many other games. The dice really allow for a creative story and more than just a number crunch. I am still not sure how I feel about not having levels, but so far it seems like it will work.
