ItS : Into the Storm

Step 1 Generate Characteristics : DH p.22 All 9 Characteristics (WS, BS, S, T, Ag, Int, Per, WP and Fel) begin at 20, players then have 100pts to spread between them adding no more than 20 points to any single characteristic. Different races have different starting characteristics. Step 2 - Select Homeworld : DH p.13 The players then select their characters Home Worlds, each of which modifies their characteristics, skills and talents as shown below. Those marked with an * have been copied from Rogue Trader. Step 3 - Select Career Path : DH p.24 After determining characteristics and selecting a homeworld the players select their career paths, noting down their starting skills, talents, gear and rank as well as those skills, talents and characteristic modifiers from their Homeworld. Step 4 - Spend Experience Points and Buy Equipment : DH p.28 All characters start with 400xp which they may use to buy Advances. Characters also begin play with a small amount of money they may use to make as many purchases as they wish (and can afford). Movement : Half Movement : Ag bonus Full Movement : Ag bonus x2 Charge : Ag bonus x3 Run : Ag bonus x6 Wounds : Toughness Bonus x2 plus Homeworld Wound Bonus. Fate Points : Determined by Homeworld and a 1d10 roll.

At this point the player may also spend some of their starting XP on a single background package. Step 5 - Giving Characters Life : DH p.30 Players determine their characters names, nature and personality as well as other roleplaying considerations. See Dark Heresy p.30 - 33 for more details including several charts which can be used to randomly determine appearance, age, distinguishing features and quirks. Finally characters must roll a Divination, see Dark Heresy p.34.
