Chargen
Career generation is not required to be random.
Each PC begins with expertise in one weapon from the list on p.108 of the WFRP2 corebook (excepting Shield), plus one more for every Specialist Weapon Talent. The expertise grants the PC +20% on actions with that weapon.
Success & Failure
Players should state their rolls and the extent of success or failure. Depending on the context, a 'failed' roll may indicate partial success, and vice versa.
Combat
Combat Sequence
Combat will be loosely based on Story Element Combat from Fudge.
Each combat will be run in one, three or more Acts, depending on the importance of the combat.
In each Act, the GM describes the situation.
The players then describe their actions in as much detail as possible, giving options.
Each player makes an Initiative roll (Ag + 1d10) and a number of rolls equal to the PC's Attack score +2 that reflect the attack plan and indicates what each roll is for. This doesn't mean that rolled actions are the only actions your PC is taking, just what s/he is prioritising.
The GM takes the rolls and tactics into account, as well as the NPCs' rolls and actions, and describes the results. Note that Talents or other factors not mentioned by the player may not be taken into account.
Damage & Wounds
Damage is rolled on a D6, not a D10.
Damage is not removed from Wounds. Instead it causes a Critical of that Effect (so doing 5 Damage does a Critical Effect of 5)
Wounds can be used by PCs and major NPCs only to soak damage at a ratio of 2W for 1 level of Crit.
Fortune & Fate Points
Fortune Points may be spent to automatically make one roll.
Fate Points work as normal, and the GM will assume one is used in case of serious injury unless the player states otherwise.
