Beta 2 Aptitude calc excel sheet

By Surak, in Dark Heresy Second Edition Beta

Ok this is currently in development (im using my old OW one as a base so I'm making sure that I don't leave anything in or out by mistake) and whilst correcting the Tier 1 talents table its struck me that alot of talents have been taken out.

Now some of this I can understand as there were alot of talents in DH1, but loosing talents like Light sleeper, street fighting, Unnarmed warrior (a particular fav of my group) and unremarkable seems very strange as they actually had a purpose.

I will post the link up here once the sheet is ready to go, I will also do a comparison version with all the extra talents from OW left in and highlighted so people can easily spot the removals.

Yeah, I don't like the leap straight to Unarmed Specialist which gives you deadly natural weapons and a re-roll making it in my mind a bit too good for 1 step. I am in favor of them adding as many talents to the main rules as possible. There is a lot of cool talents in Hammer of the Emperor but the problem is that they will very rarely appear on printed enemies because of the assumption that you only have the core book. As someone who likes farming stats from books this is a pain.

I have just finished adding the new Beta 2 stats to the calc, I'm going to add the Hammer of the Emperor stats tonight and then hopefully it should be up on google docs late this evening. I've notice when doing the data entry that alot of the new stats are slightly re-written replacements for stats they got rid of. I will have to do a bit of detailed analysis on the actual effects over the name change.

I will post a link once its ready for people to test.

For those who are worried about macros and such the sheet only uses fomulas.

Thanks for making that chart Surak. Very useful :-)

Thanks for the sheet, I will point my group at it as we are going to start a run using the beta rules.
