LAWHAMMER CAREERS 2 - NOBLES (Patreon)

Today let's take a look at our houserules for Nobles. The core ruleblook blurb for them is in WFRP4, p73. Whenever I post a Career not covered by the published rulebooks, I'll write a full blurb for it, much like I did for the Augur. You'll need the rulebook to understand everything going on here, with additional houserules used in our Career Paths found in this post Career Paths - Extra Details.

That all said, let's take a look!

That's the Noble Career Path as it stands. If you have any opinions, suggestions, questions, or have just spotted an error, ping me over on the LAWhammer Discord and we can chat it all out.

I'll post a variation of this after every Career post, and update it according to any questions I'm asked.

1) The Earning Skills are marked in Bold in tier 1. For more on this, see 'Earning Money with Status', WFRP4 p51.

2) Skills where you have options to choose from are marked with Italics.

3) All Careers have four Key Words that are used when changing Careers (the more shared key-words there is, the cheaper the XP cost to move - fans of WFRP3 will recognise this concept).

4) Careers are gathered in 'Career Paths'. These are handled in an identical fashion to the Career rules described in Chapter 3 of WFRP4, but with the additional of multiple Careers at the same tier in each Career Path.

5) I've added tier 5 Careers for super-rare, high-end goodness. These are largely used for building NPCs. For example, I used the tier 5 Monarch Career (from the Noble Career Path here!) when I build Countess Emmanuelle for Rough Nights & Hard Days.

6) There is an even rarer tier 6 for unique one-off Careers. Few Career Paths have a tier 6, though. Don't expect to see this very often. It's super special.

7) New Talents or Trappings are posted separately. When they are up, I'll include links here.

8) All tier 1 Careers include 10 Skills, not 8. This is a rule I first proposed on my old LAWhammer blog almost three years ago, and has since been picked up by C7, so it shouldn't prove too controversial. It gives you a bit more choice when building characters. As always, you only need any 8 Skills at +5 Advances for the Career to count as completed, not all 10.
