Talents (Patreon)

So, what is LAWhammer doing with Talents?

tl;dr: There is a pdf attached to this post covering LAWhammer's Talents from A-F.

The above question has been asked a lot over the last few weeks, especially as we've posted many new Careers here, several of which included new Talents without much extra description.

It's time we discussed this further.

First, a little groundwork. In the LAWhammer house rules, every Career and every Talent has been rebalanced, and every Skill has also been updated. Further, we've returned to my initial idea of tier 1 Careers having 10 Skills which I blogged about several years ago, with at least 8 needed to complete the Career. Additionally, every Career has multiple paths through it, with a variety of fun options at most tiers, and a higher tier 5 option available at the top. Again, stuff that I'd always planned to write into the game at one point anyway.

Because of all these tweaks, and the fact the core rules have also been updated, Talents have all been reworked to integrate smoothly with those changes.

However, there is a big problem.

I can't post my house rule document because it is filled with copyrighted words that I sold to Games Workshop. However, all is not lost, because I can carefully toothcomb my way through my Talent document and remove all copyrighted material. Doing that will leave only the house rules in place.

But that is a big job that will take... well, a long time with lots of referencing WFRP to check what was included there. And, just in case you missed it, I'm kinda prepping for a new campaign right now on top of the day job, so I don't have a whole hell of a lot of free time.

But I'm not one to back down from a challenge. I'm going to post them up regardless, but in blocks. I'll pop them into a pdf that I will update frequently and, hopefully, we'll have them all up in no time.

Sound good?

Oh, and before I start that, any reference to RAW (Rules as Written), means use the rules as presented in WFRP.

Got it?

Great!

With that all in mind, find Talents from A-F attached to this blog.

As always, if you spot typos, ping me here or in Discord and I'll fix them. And if any of the rules look bonkers, tell me and I'll either change them or justify why they are the way they are.

Also...

9 days to go!

PS: I lied, I've not included all our Talents from A-F. Some of the new ones have been left out until I post up the Career Paths that use them.

Like the Avatar Talent.

Coz, really, it's a crazy rule reserved for folks like Ariel. My rules cover everything from the lowliest Beggar up to the immortal Queen of the Wood, but we've not posted a Career with her in mind yet, so that Talent can wait.
