# Intro

This doc will serve as a companion to our Wrath and Glory game, and will be a compendium of all loot gathered, homebrew for the party, alterations to the rules where required, and details of things like your vehicles and ships.

#### Mercenary Good

The alignment of the game is mercenary good. Doing good, but in the most self interested (and most profitable) way possible.

### Ascension Packages

The original way the Ascension mechanic works was as follows: when you get to 100XP above your current tier, you can "ascend" to the next tier. This required you to have the requisite XP to take either an ascension package, or to get all your skills and attributes to be equal to an archetype in your faction at the next tier up.

I am going to change this mechanic for two reasons:

* DK wants to be a space marine, which is awesome and I want to support that.
* It is a very inflexible mechanic, which requires everyone to ascend at once, and for you to have a specific archetype that you want to go to in the next tier. IE the Guardsman can only become a Tempestus Scion, the Hospitaler can only become a Sister of Battle.

#### Tier 2
So what we are going to do instead is an achnowledgement of the tier going up, and allow that to be used specifically for the space marine procedures that Felix will have to undergo (IE to change species). When you ascend from Tier 1 to Tier 2, everyone who doesn't want to become a Space Marine will get the following:

* +1 to any one trait
* +1 to any one attribute
* 40XP to spend as a one time benefit (IE you have to spend it all here, you can't save it), or equivalent benefit if you have an alternative idea for what you want

For Felix, he will instead gain the following benefits (which are primarily the benefits of the Space Marine species):
* +1 to his speed
* His stat maximums increase to be the Space Marine Species maximums
* He gains the <font color=6E2024>SPACE MARINE</font> keyword, but does not gain the <font color=6E2024>[CHAPTER]</font> keyword until Tier 3. 
* +1 to his Resolve
* Space Marine Implants (page 75 on the basic rulebook), which adds +1 to any related tests.
* Immunity to the Bleeding condition

\columnbreak

### Tier 3

Upon hitting Tier 3 you all gain +1 influence. In addition, the non-space marines gain a 20XP one time bonus to be spent immediately.

#### Chapter Abilities

The Space Marines gain the following (individually for each character).

##### Brother Felix
Brother Felix gains the <font color=6E2024>IRON TIDE</font> chapter, and <font color=6E2024>ALPHA LEGION</font> keywords. He adds Rank dice to any attempts made to deceive or mislead through military action or behaving subversively. Enemies gain Rank bonus dice against him when his plans inevitably become too intricate and complex.

##### Sister Annia
Sister Annia gains the <font color=6E2024>ANATHEMA PSYKANA</font> chapter keyword. In addition, tests made with Psychic powers which include her or target her have their DN increased by 3.

### Wealth
Wealth as per the base rules operates as a currency you can spend to increase the results you have in a test made to requisition stuff. This however doesn't quite work for the purposes of our game as being a Rogue Trader is really all about building up a silly amount of wealth and having an empire to leverage. As a result of this, we will split Wealth into two categories:

##### Temporary Wealth
Temporary Wealth is the new name for base wealth as per the normal game. This is a temporary expendable currency you can use in order to add additional successes to any given requisition test to pay for things.

##### Permanent Wealth
Permanent Wealth meanwhile shows your ability to leverage your empire and its ongoing financial reserves to buy stuff. This might be something you get through recurring revenue (such as owning businesses, mines, factories, or planets) or it might be due to taxes you regularly impose on people for example. Whatever its cause, your Permanent Wealth score is a Dynasty wide score which adds additional dice to your Requisition rolls. *For example, if you have 5 Permanent Wealth, you always add an additional 5 dice to whatever you roll when attempting to procure something.*

\pagebreakNum

### Revised Healing

So healing doesn't make a heap of sense in the current system, as "in combat" healing is much more effective than out of combat healing. Basically you can just spam the Medicae action and heal much faster and more effectively than taking a break which doesn't make a lot of sense. As such we will slightly adjust the healing to make it more consistent with both the in universe logic and style of game we are playing.

#### Medicae Skill
There is no change to the Medicae skill, continue to use it as normal. Basically you heal a wound by passing a DN 3 Test, and can heal an additional wound for each 6 you roll.

#### Regroup Healing
Previously this kind of healing let you restore a number of wounds equal to your ranks in Medicae die pool to a single character during a Regroup. As mentioned before was not nearly as effective as just spamming the Medicae action, and limits your healing to just one character. As such, it now works as follows:

- When you take a Regroup while you have access to someone trained in Medicae plus medical supplies/combat drugs and appropriate facilities facilities (such as on the Terrorcrest, in an Imperial Guard base, or a friendly city), instead of healing one character wounds equal to your Medicae die pool, you may restore all lost wounds to any characters.
- If you benefit from healing in this way while you do regain all lost wounds, your maximum Shock is temporarily reduced by 1.
- If you do not wish to regain wounds in this way or do not have access to the appropriate materials, you instead simply regain Tier wounds.

This is to represent the way 40k will approach the problem of keeping soldiers on their feet and in the fight. You can be pumped full of combat stimms, have a temporary augmentic thrown on you, have a plasteel plate thrown onto your gaping wound and be sent back out to fight. This unnatural pushing of your body obviously has consequences so you are unable to keep it up long term, but 40k medicine doesn't expect you to live for a long time anyway.

#### Respite Healing
During a Respite (long rest) you regain all lost wounds. In addition, you also reduce any Shock reduction by 1. It may take multiple days to restore all lost Shock if you have benefited from Regroup healing multiple times.

\columnbreak

### Dodging & Reacting

The core rules for dodging an AOE are horrible, so I am updating them to the below, as well as providing an alternative option for spending your reflextive action.

#### Dodge
As a reflextive action, you can attempt to dodge an incoming Area of Effect. When you do so, roll your Initiative score, and add any successes you get to your Resilience against this attack only.

#### Endure
As a reflextive action, you can choose to endure a particular attack. When you do so, you add your Tier to the dice you roll for Determination.
___
These actions are available to enemy elites and adversaries, but not to troops and mobs.

### Encumbrance 
So normal rules state that a character is assumed to start an engagement/mission with all weapons loaded plus 3 nebulous Ammo, which is used to reload any given weapon (IE it might be one pistol reload and two lasgun reloads, we aren't bothering to go into that level of detail).

For our purposes, we will also introduce an additional capacity, specifically to track grenades, missiles, melta bombs, etc. A normal character can (in addition to their 3 Ammo) carry up to their Strength in expendable explosives and similar. As a general rule, these will cover everything listed in the Grenade and Missile weapons table on page 220 of the core rule book.

Note this strength is calculated after other gear, so if for example a character is wearing power armour, they would account for its increased strength in determining the amount of explosives they can take with them.

**Space Marine Encumbrance.** With the introduction of this rule, we also must account for the physical and martial prowess of the Space Marines amongst us. As such, a character with the <font color=6E2024>SPACE MARINE</font> species can carry an amount of explosives and similar equal to their Strength + their Tier.

**Flexible Encumbrance.** With the introduction of these additional 'slots', note you can fill them with Ammo in the event you cannot source explosives or do not wish to carry a large amount of heavy explosives on your person. Flamers exist after all.

\pagebreakNum

## Narrative Scale
The game we are playing will primarily be focused on a personal scale of gameplay, using the larger context as a narrative backdrop. As such, we will consider things to have two scales, the <font color=6E2024>PERSONAL</font> scale, and the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> scale.

As a guiding principle, assume that the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> scale will form a reflection of the <font color=6E2024>PERSONAL</font> scale.

*For example, if you win at great cost in the epic final battle, you should expect the same to largely be true on the narrative scale.*

We will zoom in from the larger conflicts to the personal challenges and battles which will decide that outcome. Where you cause or are affected by a larger conflict on the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> scale, you should expect a call to adventure to participate in a <font color=6E2024>PERSONAL</font> scale challenge to help shape that outcome.

*A good example would be if you asked your ship to take on another in void warfare. You would expect that you might need to undertake a boarding action as part of it to cripple their main gun, or assassinate their captain, or similar, in order to tip the balance. You don't have to do it, but then you should expect the narrative to reflect your inaction on that front.*

#### Narrative Powers

Outside of this general reflection, there will also be Party abilities which are granted by Factors on the Narrative scale. These will be abilities that the party can use on the whole, and are a reflection of the assets, people, resources, and power you wield on the wider scale. Most of these powers will be usable once per session, and will cost a point of Wrath or Glory (or possibly Faith).

The core source of your abilities in this area is likely to be your Fleet.

## Dynasty Mechanics

Your Dynasty (currently just one ship and the party really) is the primary source of your ability to influence things on the Narrative scale. As such, I have written a stat block for your ship to help best articulate the powers and abilities it grants. A key mechanic here are <font color=6E2024>FACTORS</font>. They are called Factors, because they are a Factor in the narrative (they Factor into the overall outcome).

You may think of a ship as having a certain amount of Slots for Factors. This is reflective of a number of things and should be considered a general abstraction rather than a specific mechanic. Things which contribute to the number of <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE FACTORS</font> a ship in your fleet can support include:

- Ship size (and decks controlled),
- Ship core crew (such as the Captain),
- Access to refueling and refitting resources
- Ship weapons
- Ship capabilities (such as drives)
- Ship life support and crew compliment
___
You can expand the number of <font color=6E2024>FACTORS</font> a ship brings to the Narrative by doing things like reclaiming decks.

### Ship Components

The below breaks down the items you will likely find on a given <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> Ship stat block:
___
- **Descriptive Information:** Such as the Ship Class, Crew Size, and Displacement.
- **Keywords:** Any Keywords the ship has
- **Narrative Traits:** Traits are an abstraction of the general vibe of a ship, and as such there is no specific list of all available traits. Whenever you make any kind of Test or action involving your Ship which can be described using one of the Traits, you may add the listed number of dice to your pool. Where an action can be described with multiple traits, you may add all applicable die to the pool. These are intended to be a narrative abstraction, and likely the closest you will get to making any kind of check on the part of your ship.
- **Core Components:** These are all of the physical parts you would expect any ship to have, and are largely to describe the nature of its capabilities.
- **Universal Factors:** There are a number of <font color=6E2024>FACTORS</font> which every ship will possess, specifically: a Crew, Leadership, Engineering, a means of Navigation, a means of Astropathic Communications, Cargo storage, and a means of general Access. These <font color=6E2024>FACTORS</font> do not contribute to your total number of available Factors.
- **Other Factors:** These are the specific Factors which are bought to the story by your ship, most of which will grant some kind of power or ability to the party.

___
To help provide some additional context for the mechanics I am introducing here, the below is a list of additional things which if installed upon/travelling within your ship would count as a <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE FACTOR</font>:

- A Faction "Unit", IE a Squad of <font color=6E2024>ASTARTES</font>, a Company of <font color=6E2024>ASTRA MILITARUM</font>, a Convent of <font color=6E2024>SORORITAS</font>, etc.
- A specific kind of communications capability (IE a Skitari Mind Impulse Relay)
- Specialised Transport Bays (IE for Titans or Drop Pods)
- Specialised Containment (IE anti-psyker cells)
- Extended travel capabilities (Food, reactors, etc)
- Just more cargo capacity
- A Chapel
- A Teleportarium
- A notable Macroweapon

\pagebreakNum

### Narrative Units
If we wanted to do big battles across a big battle map with lots of units everywhere, we would all be very poor and playing the tabletop strategy game version of this universe. As we are not, I will use a system of <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE UNITS</font> to describe broad conflicts. These <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE FACTORS</font> are those brought to bear by opposing forces such as yourselves and those who stand in the way of ~~your profits~~ the good of the Imperium.

In general as part of a conflict, you may bring your forces to bear as you see fit, assuming you provide them with a task they can achieve and are willing to attempt, the unit will act out your wishes. This does however have limitations, a unit is unlikely to be willing to throw its life away without due cause.

The way you deploy your forces, any allies deploy theirs, and any opposition deploy theirs will be used as the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE LANDSCAPE</font> for the personal scale combats and challenges our game will follow.

In the same way you should expect the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE SCALE</font> conflict to reflect the <font color=6E2024>PERSONAL SCALE</font> conflict, you may also assume the inverse is true.

*For example, if you are undertaking a desperate last assault on an enemy bastion, and you bring your last unit to bear to help you fight your way into the stronghold, you should assume the final confrontation will be about as lopsided as the confrontation between your troops and the opposing strongholds forces.*

When you do so, they are deployed under your command and may be given direction, however are an independent (though friendly) force within the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> scene. In general, these troops will overcome otherwise equally matched troops if fighting in a way that favors them (I.E. missions using their preferred tactics and playing to the units strengths).

#### Unit Damage

In general, I will not want to take a <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE FACTOR</font> like a unit away from the party without good reason. As a result if a unit is facing destruction, it will withdraw. In certain circumstances however (such as leadership by a player character, having no method to withdraw, or facing a sworn enemy), a unit may choose not to withdraw even in the face of destruction. This may not always be presented as a choice, some units will do this regardless of the odds or their orders. Read a units traits carefully when thinking about how to deploy them.

Over the course of fighting, the units may be injured, suffer gear loss, or otherwise be materially harmed in the completion of their objective. If this occurs to a degree which would prevent them from functioning effectively, the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE UNIT</font> becomes unavailable until they are able to resolve the issue, recover, or resupply. This will generally be an amount of in-game time, however this may be shortened by player actions depending on the nature of the damage.

\columnbreak

#### Unit Progression
As we are not playing a tactical wargame, units will largely remain the same once acquired. That said however, there may be certain ways to improve a unit over time. This would be done as an investment by the player characters, spending Wealth and/or time to improve a unit. Examples may include acquiring enough improved gear (IE weapons, armour, etc) to outfit the whole unit, or providing that unit with specialist tools (IE a Baneblade Superheavy tank).

*As general player guidance, I would encourage investment if you particularly enjoy what a unit brings to the narrative scene as a whole, do not worry too much about balance as this is all a loose representative system anyway.*

#### Borrowing Stuff

The system is not quite designed for you to have a large number of people under you whom you can just ask to give you their stuff. As such, I ask that this is dealt with reasonably overall. In world, your characters are aware that these units are designed to be self sufficient, and asking to have their stuff will be directly depriving that unit of that same resource (which may in turn get someone they work with killed). As such, units will generally be tentative to give you things they need, but generally willing to give you things they have heaps of.

As such, you may generally assume that you can acquire the base gear of a Troop within that unit, however anything further than that will require an INFLUENCE test. This is also only applicable for base resources (ie guns, armour, grenades etc). An Astartes is likely to be unwilling to give you their Power Fist, and will definitely not be willing to give it to you on an ongoing basis.

#### Unit Traits
Units should all broadly have the following traits:
___
- **Tier:** This maps broadly to the player character tier, and generally represents the rarity and strength of the unit. A unit will generally defeat a unit of the same tier if using its preferred tactics.
- **Numbers:** How many individual entities make up this unit.
- **Combat Groups:** What a typical subset is made of 
- **Keywords:** Any Keywords the unit has
- **Tactics:** These describe the ways a unit likes to fight, and will give it an advantage if used.
- **Leadership:** Named characters who lead a the unit
- **Strengths:** These are an abstraction of the general capabilities of the unit. If you need to make a test on behalf of the unit which can be described using one of these strenghts, you may add the number listed to the pool.
- **Weaknesses:** These are an abstraction of the weaknesses of the unit, any should be used to both inform the way you use a unit, and what it might struggle against.
- **Vehicles:** Any vehicles the unit can reliably field.
- **Typical Troops:** What a typical Troop, Elite, and Adversary from this unit would look like in personal combat.

\pagebreakNum

#### Unit Tests
In general I will only ask for Unit Tests when it will make a difference to the overall <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE SCENE</font>. In general, you might need to roll on behalf of a unit when it:

* Enters combat against a superior force
* Wants to do something weird, unusual, or outside its normal capabilities.
* You ask the unit to go above and beyond
* May affect the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE SCENE</font>
* Is funny
* Is interesting

When you make a test for one of these units, simply add up any relevant dice from its Strengths pool plus any Weakness die from the enemy sheet (if applicable), plus any other the GM chooses to award because this system is loose and vague. These are rolled as a contested test against the opposing force who do the same.

<div style='margin-top:20px'></div>
 
 <font face='scalysans' size='2'>
 
 <center> 
 
 **Your Pool** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> Your Strenghts + Their Weaknesses
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> + Other Dice </center>
 
  <div style='margin-top:12px'></div>
  
  <center> 
 
 **Their Pool** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> Their Strenghts + Your Weaknesses
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> + Other Dice </center>
 
 </font>

#### Player Lead Units
As a general rule I will encourage you all to lead units into battle rather than going alone (where reasonable and practical), as it better represents the epic scale of the 40k universe. The clash of units also provides a good narrative backdrop for player scale conflicts.

When you lead a Unit into battle, tests you make as its "command unit" so to speak will be representative of the whole unit. For example, if you are trying to sneak a unit across a minefield at night, I may ask for an Awareness and Stealth Test from two different PCs. Those PC rolls will represent not only their individual capabilities, but also them leading the unit, encouraging stealth, showing them what to look out for to spot mines, etc.

When rolling to lead a unit like this, you may add any relevant Strenght die to your overall pool. You may also need to add weakness die, at the GM's discretion.

#### Strategic Actions
Sometimes when accompanied by a unit or leading them you will have access to a Strategic Action. This action will be dependent on the unit, but is regained at the start of each of your turns, and can generally be used each turn.

Details of the specifics of each action are provided based on the unit in question.

\pagebreakNum

## Strategic Actions
A Strategic Action is one you can take when supported by a unit of allied Troops. This is used to abstract away the majority of the administration involved in running multiple units of troops on the battlefield.

Each player has access to a Strategic Action, and must track it independently of their normal turn. You may take a Strategic Action at any point during combat (even off turn), and may take it once per turn. You regain the ability to take a Strategic Action again at the start of your next turn.

The Strategic Actions that your units get access to are determined by the Keywords that unit has (for example one coming from being Imperial Guard, and one coming from their specific Regiment). You may only take one of the available options per turn, regardless of how many you have access to.

### Assassinorum

##### Symphony of Coincidence
- **Keywords**: <font color=6E2024>CLADE VANUS</font>
- **Effect**: You cause a single mechanical or person operated device (such as a lift, door, crane, etc) to undertake its basic action (e.g. turning on or off, opening or closing), without any involvement from you.

### Rogue Trader

##### Possession is the whole of the law
- **Keywords**: <font color=6E2024>LOREM DYNASTY</font>
- **Effect**: Casophili picks up any loose item and delivers it to anywhere else on the battlefield.

### Adeptus Astartes

##### Bolter Panoply
- **Keywords**: <font color=6E2024>IRON TIDE CHAPTER</font>
- **Effect**: A Mob looses 1d6 + 1 Troops after it makes an attack.

##### Anathema
- **Keywords**: <font color=6E2024>ANATHEMA PSYKANA</font>
- **Effect**: When you see a psychic power or warp phenomenon you may increase its difficulty by 1d6 + 2.

### Astra Militarum

##### A Billion Lives for the Emperor
- **Keywords**: <font color=6E2024>ASTRA MILITARUM</font>
- **Effect**: When an ally is targeted by an attack, you may increase their Resilience against an attack by 3 as the attack goes through a guardsman on its way to you.

##### Ambush Predators
- **Keywords**: <font color=6E2024>CATACHAN JUNGLE FIGHTERS</font>
- **Effect**: When you see a Mob of Troops move, you may roll 1d6. Through means as violent as hidden mines or as subtle as a knife in the dark, the Catachans reduce the number of Troops in the mob by that amount by the time they arrive at their destination.

### Sororitas

##### Miracle Dice
- **Keywords:** <font color=6E2024>ADEPTUS SORORITAS</font>
- **Effect**: When you use this Strategic Action you may roll 6d6. Record the results. At any time before the start of your next turn you may replace any dice you would roll with these results. You must do so before you roll the dice.

##### The Holy Trinity
- **Keywords:** <font color=6E2024>ORDER OF THE SCARLET ALTAR</font>
- **Effect**: You lay waste to your foes with Bolter, Flamer, and Melta. You may use one of these ability each turn, and may only use that same option again once you have used all three options.
  - Bolter - You inflict the *Pinned* condition on one Mob of Troops.
  - Flamer - You inflict the *On Fire* condition onto 1d6 Troops in a Mob.
  - Melta - You increase the AP of your attack by 1d6.

- **Timing:** Once per Session
- **Who:** Anyone in the Party
- **What:** The Retribution class of ship is notoriously heavily armed. While the Rogue Trader variant of this ship is less heavily armed compared to the usual pattern, it is still heavily armed, including a suite of precision Lance turrets for orbital bombardment. While the Terrorcrest has direct line of effect to the Scene, a bombardment may be called upon by the party by providing the relevant coordinated.
- **Orbital Bombardment:** Once per session while the Party have access to communications with the Terrorcrest, you may call for a targeted bombardment. This is not something that can be done easily or urgently, generally requiring access to reasonable communication equipment and a relatively static target. The bombardment attack deals 20 damage +Double Rank ED to all targets within Rank x 10 metres of the designated target.

#### Smuggling Suite
___
- **Cost:** 1 Wrath
- **Timing:** Once per Session
- **Who:** Anyone in the Party
- **What:** A series of hidden or disguised cargo compartments, storage bays, and concealed storage lockers spread through the ship with inbuild auger concealment fields, psi-dapers, and other similar blatantly illegal technology designed to protect their contents from being detected. You're sure they were only being used for legitimate reasons though.
- **The Emperor Conceals:** The Party may spend one Wrath to prevent any items, vehicles, assets, personnel, contraband, or almost anything else concealed in the Smuggling Suite being detected in a Test made to investigate or uncover them without needing to make a competing Test. This will protect the items stored within from almost any detection, but may not prevent them being detected by specialised tools designed to identify only one specific thing, or other similar targeted attempts.

#### Psyker Sargent Nina
___
- **Cost:** 1 Wrath or Glory
- **Timing:** Once per Session
- **Who:** Anyone in the Party
- **What:** Sanctioned Psyker Nina, formerly Sargent Nina of the Gilead Gravediggers, is a potent Epsilon Grade psyker. She is a biomancy specialist, able to manipulate her own flesh and body to a truly impressive, and definitely scary level. She's been seen to enhance her own strength, speed, endurance, and senses to superhuman levels without apparent effort. Her records have also shown previous instances of skin as hard as tank armour, and regeneration strong enough to regrow limbs.
- **Battle Psyker:** The Party may spend one Wrath or Glory while they have access to the personnel of their Fleet, and call on Nina for one of the following actions:

* A feat of superhuman strength, such as ripping the door off a fortress, peeling open the armour of a tank, or lifting a Terminator Space Marine.
* A feat of superhuman speed, such as running the length of the ship within the same scene or catching a falling ally before they hit the ground.
* A feat of superhuman combat endurance against a single enemy of material threat (such as a Tau battlesuit, Chaos Space Marine Terminator, or Ork Warboss). While Nina will be incapable of overcoming most of these enemies, she is sufficiently threatening and able to regenerate at a rate such that she can keep them in battle until the party can arrive.

#### Warrant of Trade
___
- **Cost:** None
- **Timing:** Once per Session
- **Who:** Maxinius or Maurice 
- **What:** A warrant of trade is a powerful and dangerous weapon, wielding great influence but also attracting a great deal of attention. Used carefully, it can sweep aside great swaths of the Imperiums beurocracy. But it is just as adept at creating enemies, if not used carefully.
- **I have a permit:** As part of an Influence test, you may invoke the Warrant of Trade, adding unreasonable weight to your ~~demand~~ "request". When you do so, you may use any of the keywords the party have for the purposes of calculating your bonus to the test. When rolling a Test in this way, your minimum bonus to the test due to shared Keywords is your Rank.

#### Angels of Iron
___
- **Cost:** None
- **Timing:** Once per Session
- **Who:** Felix or Annia
- **What:** The Imperium respect and fear the Emperors legendary angels. Your mere presence invokes terror and authority.
- **Indisputable Might:** When you make a test in a social circumstance (such as a negotiation), you may use Weapons or Ballistics Skill instead of the appropriate skill.

#### Gravediggers Drop Regiment
___
- **What:** The beating heart of the Imperial war machine, the Astra Militarum are the endless billions called to serve in His name. Not blessed with the genewrought strength of the Astartes, nor the burning faith of the Soroitas, the Imperial Guard face down the horrors of the universe with nothing but a lasgun and courage.
- **Skyborne Drop Troops:** You may deploy the 85th "Skyborne" Gravediggers Drop Regiment as part of a <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> scene. The Skyborne use the stats detailed below.
- **Regimental Supplies:** Having this <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE FACTOR</font> allows you to acquire the following supplies while gearing up (note you cannot acquire this equipment in the field): Anything listed in the Imperial Infantrymans Uplifting Primer.

\pagebreakNum

#### Scarlet Altar Strikeforce
___
- **What:** Filled with burning faith, the sisters of battle bring the fury of the Emperor down on the galaxy with the holy trinity of bolter, flamer, and melta.
- **Burning Assault:** You may deploy this strikeforce as part of a <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> scene. The sisters use the stats detailed below.
- **Ecclesiarchy Supplies:** Having this <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE FACTOR</font> allows you to acquire the following supplies while gearing up (note you cannot acquire this equipment in the field): Bolt Pistol, Boltgun, Chainsword

\columnbreak

#### Astropathic Choir
___
- **Cost:** None
- **Timing:** N/A
- **Who:** N/A
- **What:** An Astropathic choir, lead by Conductor Solomon Lust, which allows you to communicate with other Astropathic choirs you are familiar with and have received the appropriate codes and signals to communicate with. Similarly it allows you to receive Astropathic broadcasts which are sent into the Warp for anyone to hear. While never entirely concrete in their information, the Astropathic choir substantially increases the communication capabilities of the Terrorcrest.

#### Chronolocked Confinement Facility
___
- **Cost:** None
- **Timing:** N/A
- **Who:** Anyone
- **What:** This archaic and largely forgotten technology was gifted to the party as part of an Inquisition engagement. Similar to the field which kept the Primarch Roboute Guiliman alive the moment before his death for 10,000 years, this can be used to suspend creatures in time, to protect, or to contain. 
- **Stasis Field Containment:** Your brig has 12 containment cells, which can be used to imprison 1 creature as long as it is the same size or smaller than a fully grown Primaris Marine. As long as the ship has power, these creatures will be frozen in time within the stasis field. 
- **Current Occupants:** 1 Loose Noble from Nor'Fynlnd, an Eversor

#### Alpha Pattern Signal Array
___
- **Cost:** 1 Wrath or Glory
- **Timing:** At will
- **Who:** Anyone
- **What:** This highly illegal signals array allows the target to present a false signature in the data veil. 
- **False Flag:** You can spend 1 Wrath or Glory to describe a different kind of ship (EG Aeldari cruiser, or Universal Mass Tansporter). For the remainder of the scene (or as logical) all electronic signatures from your ship appear to be of the kind of vessel you described. If an enemy has reason to investigate this, they can attempt a Tech Test to see through this digital illusion. The difficulty for this test is 10. This does not protect you from visual confirmation, however in the vastness of space this is not traditionally an issue. 
<p style="font-size: x-small">This also absolutely doesn't contain an inquisition tracker, I don't know what you are talking about.</p>

\pagebreakNum

#### Eversor in a Stasis Pod
___
- **Cost:** "None"
- **Timing:** Hopefully never
- **Who:** Hopefully no one
- **What:** Hanging over everyones head is the fact that hidden away in your Chronolocked Confinement Facility is a stasis pod. Within this double layer of frozen time and nigh impregnable adamantium confinement is one of the most dangerous creatures in the Imperium, if not the galaxy. An Eversor Assassin is confined within the bowels of the ship, where hopefully it will remain until the heat death of the universe.
- **Sword of Damocles:** If it ever gets out anyone who doesn't escape the ship within an hour must roll a new character.

#### Captain Dante Hazard
___
- **Cost:** G-Forces (if you listen to the tech priests)
- **Timing:** Anytime you assign him to fly a vehicle
- **Who:** Anyone in the Party
- **What:** Captain Hazard, Dante Hazard. Formerly of the  <font color=6E2024>OFFICIO TACTICUS</font> where he specialised in "High Risk Rapid Logistic Recalibration Runs" (known to the Guard as 'typo' runs due to their tendency to be required to fix administrative errors caused by typos in important forms). Captain Hazard seems to have been seconded to you on a permanent basis out of the fervent hope by someone in the  <font color=6E2024>OFFICIO TACTICUS</font> that he will get himself killed in your service. Officially he is on loan because at least one officer of the Officio must accompany an  <font color=6E2024>ASTRA MILITARUM</font> force over a given size. He has never once been seen managing any of the Gravediggers cargo, aside from sitting on it to flirt with unsuspecting Imperial Guard. 
___
When assigned to pilot a vehicle with the <font color=6E2024>IMPERIUM</font> keyword, Dante uses an attribute of 4 (unless a higher one is provided, such as by a Machine Spirit), and uses a skill rank of the second highest number of ranks in a skill from anyone in the party (IE if the top 4 skill ranks were 6, 6, 5, 4 he would use a skill rank of 5).

#### Amica Primaris
___
- **Cost:** None
- **Timing:** Whenever you have him in the party.
- **Who:** Anyone in the Party
- **What:** This ancient machine has spent the last several hundred years fighting an infestation of Ork Kommandos, with varying levels of success. Originally forged as a life support mechanism for a friend by a Magos, little remains of the original identity of this machine. Now joining the party, the Scrap Bot can be commanded by any party member as an Action, or by Creed as a Simple Action. Otherwise it will do what it thinks is most helpful in the situation, with the overall goal of protecting the party.

See the section for the Scrapbot for more details on its abilities and statistics.

#### Iron Tide Chapter
___
- **What:** The Iron Tide, a newly reforged chapter of the Imperiums most holy Adeptus Astartes. 
- **By His Will:** You may deploy this force as part of a <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> scene. The scouts use the stats detailed on the next page.
- **Space Marine Supplies:** Having this <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE FACTOR</font> allows you to acquire the following supplies while gearing up (note you cannot acquire this equipment in the field): Astartes Shotgun, Bolt Sniper, Cameleoline Cloak.

#### Blood Moon Chapter
___
- **What:** The Blood Moon, who are descended from His most terrible weapon against chaos, the <font color=6E2024>ANATHEMA PSYKANA</font>. Though their origins are largely unknown, these warriors display a dreadful aspect, and strike fear into all... but particularly those touched by the warp.
- **By His Will:** You may deploy this force as part of a <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> scene. The scouts use the stats detailed on the next page.
- **Space Marine Supplies:** Having this <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE FACTOR</font> allows you to acquire the following supplies while gearing up (note you cannot acquire this equipment in the field): Astartes Chainsword, Monomolecular Knife, Cameleoline Cloak.

#### Not to worry, we have a permit
___
- **Cost:** Special (cost equal to the magnitude of the crimes you are doing)
- **Timing:** Combat action (cooldown equal to the magnitude of the crimes)
- **Who:** Anyone in the party
- **What:** If you reach into your pocket, you can discover a permit. Specifically a permit to be doing this exact thing. Its signed by an Interrogator of the Inquisition and everything. This document explains that the bearer of this document is doing whatever it is they are doing in the name of the Inquisition, and everything is fine. 
- **Magnitude:** The cost of this ability increases with the size of the crimes, as does its cooldown. 
* **Minor Crimes:** Assault, Disturbing the Peace, Theft, etc
    * 1 Point of Wrath or Glory
    * Cooldown: 1 Session

### Space Marine Forces

The Terrorcrest currently operates as the mobile base for the following Space Marine forces:

\pagebreakNum

## Vehicles
The Terrorcrest holds a number of vehicles which can be used by the party. Stats for these vehicles are below:

### Cargo Shuttles
Cargo Shuttles, or Cargo Landers, are the general purpose vehicles used by the Imperium, primarily to move troops, ammunition, and supplies around. These vehicles tend to be lightly armed, lightly armoured, and rather slow. What they lack in defensibility however, they more than make up for in cargo capacity.
___
The Terrorcrest has a small fleet of Cargo vessels primarily used to transport personnel planetside, and bring equipment and cargo up to the Voidship.

#### Arvus Lighter
Arvus Lighters are the catchall cargo shuttle used within the Imperium of Man. It is a small, general purpose shuttle capable of void travel as well as atmospheric travel. While it will never be the fastest or most dangerous vehicle in the sky, it is solid, reliable, and dependable. 
___
The Terrorcrest currently holds 2 standard pattern Arvus Lighters, and 1 Cursed Arvus Lighter.

#### Cargo Lander
The Cargo Lander is a generic term used to describe a medium sized void capable drop ship. Larger than the Arvus Lighter, these vehicles are slow, ponderous, and generally used well behind the front lines to avoid them being shot down.
___
The Terrorcrest has recently acquired a Cargo Lander which was kindly flown aboard by a rather foolish first lieutenant.

#### Halo Barge
One of the larger forms of cargo flyers used in the Imperium of Man, these vehicles can most charitably be described as "hefty". They are large, squarish, and lack any semblance of aerodynamics. That said however, they have a truly impressive cargo capacity, able to carry a large number of Imperial armour vehicles or even a number of Baneblade super heavy tanks. These vehicles can also be used to transport personnel as long as the pilots do not care overmuch for the comfort of the personnel, and as such are frequently used to transport multiple platoons of Imperial Guard soliders to a planet at once.
___
The Terrorcrest currently holds a single Halo Barge.

___

\columnbreak

### Armed Vehicles
Thankfully not all vehicles aboard the Terrorcrest are unarmed. The Terrorcrest also hosts a small number of vehicles capable of being used in armed conflict.

#### Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter
The Thunderbolt is one of two main classes of fightercraft used by the Imperium, functioning as a heavily armed and armoured Air Superiority fighter. It forms the backbone of the Imperial Navy's air wings, and has seen deployment on thousands if not millions of worlds across the galaxy. 
___
The Terrorcrest currently holds one of these vehicles, having had it relocated from the Museum of Voss Crane.

#### Thunderhawk Gunship
The most dangerous vehicle aboard the Terrorcrest, the Thunderhawk Gunship is a signature vehicle of the Adeptus Astartes, used as an orbital dropship, bomber, and attack craft as required. It is a flexible tactical vehicle intended to be used by several squads of Astartes to deploy to a planet, and to provide supporting fire where needed once deployment has been completed.

Being both void and air capable, this versatile drop ship can also be used in hostile boarding operations, and boasts a formidable arsenal. 
___
The Terrorcrest (unusually) holds one of these vehicles, which is now very much awakened, though the main battle cannon of the craft is not functional.

#### Zenith Groundcar
Perhaps the most dramatic though least versatile vehicle on the Terrorcrest, the Zenith Groundcar is a symbol of truly incredible wealth and status. Also, it has a truly excellent bar, where you can enjoy a lovely drink as the munitions of your foes gently bounce off its armoured sides.

Interestingly, it is also the perfect size to fit into the hold of the Thunderhawk, for a truly dramatic deployment.
___
The Terrorcrest holds one of these vehicles.

<div style='margin-top:530px;'></div>

#### Awakened Machine Spirit
Aided by Gunter, the Machine Spirit of the Thunderhawk Gunship owned by the party is far more awake and far more sentient than even many Land Raiders.
___
**Effect:** The Machine Spirit is dedicated to the correct functioning of the machine it inhabits. A vehicle with this Trait requires two fewer Crew to operate. If all occupants are killed or otherwise unable to act, the vehicle will continue to operate on its own for 2d6 Turns, attempting to fulfil its orders or avenge or save its occupants, depending on the nature of the spirit. Should a roll be required, treat the Machine Spirit as having a 6 in any Skill appropriate to the operation of the vehicle.
___
In addition, Gunter's spirit inhabiting the Thunderhawk grants it the following benefits:

* Hostile Tech checks made against the Thunderhawk have their DN increased by 4.
* Hostile creatures attempting to make attacks with weapons made of a magnetic material have their DN increased by 2 while within 12 meters of the Thunderhawk.
* Allies wearing armour made of a magnetic material who end their turn within 12 meters of the Thunderhawk may choose to board it without an action cost, being magnetically yanked into the vehicle.

\pagebreakNum

#### Tauros Rapid Assault Vehicle
The Tauros is a lightweight utility vehicle known for its rugged durability, speed, and agility. The standard model, a four-wheeled buggy intended for all-terrain scouting and reconnaissance, is equipped with light armour and a multi-laser to clear its path. With a galvanic motor, it is near silent, and able to operate for days at a time without refueling.

The Tauros is a great scout vehicle, and makes for an awesome vehicle to ride down sand dunes or generally conduct rally activities with.
___
The Terrorcrest holds two of these vehicles.

#### Morlight Heavy Cargo Hauler
A true workhorse of a vehicle, the Morlight Heavy Cargo Hauler is best described as functional. It is large, hefty, slow, and sturdy. Its best qualities are its extensive cargo space, and its relatively simple construction. It is effective and able to transport a large amount of material, but won't be winning any prizes. 
___
The Terrorcrest holds two of these vehicles.

\pagebreakNum

## Heavy Support

Sometimes, as a Rogue Trader, you simply required... more.

#### Leman Russ Punisher
Are you ready to unleash a torrent of destruction? Look no further than the Leman Russ Punisher! Equipped with a Punisher Gatling Cannon and sponson heavy bolters, this tank is designed to turn enemy infantry into dust with its devastating rate of fire. With a trigger happy crew, and more barrels than you can shake a cog boy at, this legendary vehicle is the closest you can get to turning your hard earned Imperial Thrones directly into dead heretics.
___
The Terrorcrest holds one of these vehicles.

## Auction Loot

Does anyone actually know who that guy was? No? Oh well. He had some neat stuff though.

#### Lucius Pattern Hotshot Lasgun
Lucius pattern Lasguns are the customary design used by the Death Korps of Krieg, and are strikingly different to the normal pattern of lasguns used by most other legions of the Guard. In fact, these weapons are rarely issues to anyone but the most elite of Imperial Guard storm troopers and tempestus scions.

This heavily customised Lasgun clearly belonged to a member of the Death Korps of Krieg long ago. While how it ended up in a trophy room rather than killing the enemies of the emperor is unclear, it still bears all of the customisations you would expect from a weapon of its design. Apply the following modificiations to the Hot-Shot Lasgun.
___
- **Megathoule Accelerator:** This weapons damage increases by 2.
- **Lucious Mk. 98 Heat Sink:** This weapon looses the Reliable talent, but does not gain the Unreliable talent. In addition, the weapon does not explode upon rolling a Wrath Complication.
- **Trenchrunner Pattern Barrel:** This weapon can accept an Entrenching Tool in place of a bayonnet.

#### Witchreaper Pattern Chainsword
The Witchreaper pattern of Chainsword was designed especially for the use of use of the Ordo Hereticus, this chainsword has seen the internal organs of many an untrained Psyker. This legacy of gore still drips from this weapon, even if the physical stains have been washed away long ago.

Apply the following modifications to the Chainsword:
___
- **Tormentor Pattern Psi-resonator:** This weapon gains 2 ED and -2AP while within 6 meters of a creature with the PSYKER Keyword.
- **Symbol of Faith:** This Chainsword acts as a Psychic Focus to Mauris specifically due to the nature of his understanding of his powers, granting him +1 die for Psychic Mastery checks while he wields this weapon.

#### Broker Pattern Privacy Field
A small disk shaped device, this emits an array of electronic signals which protect its wielder from unwanted observation. The effects of the Privacy Field primarily extend to Vox and Pict capture, but can also shield the user to a lesser extend from effects such as Auspex scanning. The unfortunate side effect of using the Privacy field is that it causes creatures within the field to experience mild throbbing within their skull, and for their teeth to begin itching (most commonly starting from the roots of the teeth).

When you use the Privacy Field, you may choose one of the following dispersal patterns, which trade-off between power and range.
___
**Narrow Dispersal.** The field covers the agent wielding it, or a similar size object if placed upon an inanimate object. When using this setting, attempts to record you return a NULL result. For example, a Vox recorder will not pick up any audio emitted by the Agent, and a radar system will not detect them.
___
**Wide Dispersal.** The field extends far further around you, at the cost of potency. The field will extend to cover the Agent, and all nearby parts of the Scene. If unclear, use a general guideline of approximately 12 meters in any direction from the Agent, or within the same room as applicable. When using this setting attempts to record the area will not return a NULL result, but rather will appear garbled and corrupted. 
___
*The first setting makes you invisible to recordings (though not to someone noticing the blank hole in the video feed), and the second makes it like someone has just applied the blur tool to you and your surrounds.*

#### Intruder Servo Skull
This servo skull functions more as a cage or perhaps housing for a particularly nasty machine spirit. Once per session when you make a Tech test to gain access to a system or machine without authorisation, you may connect this Servo Skull to the system and unleash the Intruder Spirit within. When you do so, you may reroll any failed dice as part of the check. You may do this after you roll, but before you learn the result or spend any Wrath points.

In addition, this servo skull comes equipped with a Auxillary Neuroprocessing Array, which allows you to link to it and outsource some cognative functions to the servo skull. You are able to maintain active control over or ongoing interactions with one more additional technology system or machine spirit than you otherwise would be able to (accounting for any multitasking or similar abilities you gain).

Lastly, the Servo Skull comes equipped with a Vox Relay system, allowing you to speak and listen from its space as if you were present. The Servo Skull has a functional range of within the same Scene as you, and can be controlled by you remotely within this range.

#### Censor of Sabraya Stern
The filthy heretic held within his vault a sacred artefact of the Sororitas, the Censor of Sabraya Stern, the Grieving Prophet of the Nameless Covenant. This censor streams holy incense without pause regardless of the conditions, a physical manifestation of Stern's endless martyrdom.

You gain +1 Faith. In addition, as a Simple Action on your turn, you may expend 1 point of Faith and grant any weapon you hold the *Inflict (On Fire 4)* trait until the end of the scene. You gain this benefit, rather than your weapon, so if you cast aside your weapon and take up another it will gain the trait instead of your original weapon.

Additionally if you kill a major enemy of the Imperium (such as a Chaos Marine) using a weapon while it benefits from this trait, you regain a point of Faith.

## Museum of Crane

#### Autoquill Swarm
This swarm of servo skulls functions as an Autoquill, linked to a augmentic mind link embedded into your brain stem, allowing you to orchestrate them as extensions if your own body.

This swarm functions as an Autoquill (page 236). In addition once per session, you may retrospectively declare a form you submitted to a faction you interacted with in the previous session. This must be a form which can be delivered by a servo skull, and may require any number of checks as appropriate (for example if you submit a false form, it will require a test to decieve as normal).

Lastly, this Autoquill grants you +Tier bonus die on checks made to investigate the legitimacy (or find loopholes which illigitimise) paperwork you consider to be hostile to you, as long as you have physical access to the paperwork in question. 
___
**Wrath of the Administrator**
When you generate a point of Glory from a check made to interact with Beurocracy, you also generate a point of Wrath for the party. This can be used by any member of the party when they would normally use one of their own points of wrath, with your approval.
___
Conversely, when you expend a point of your Wrath, you generate a point of Glory for the party to use.

#### Omnissiah Axe
These axes are holy symbols of the cult mechanicus, granted to those who have proven themselves in the eyes of the cult and the Machine God. They are never bought or deliberately obtained, they may only be gifted. Or at least they should be....

**Malediction of the Omnissiah**
You may attack using Intelligence Weapons Skill rather than Initiative Weapons Skill. When you do so, you do not deal damage as wounds to the target, but instead deal damage to an item of equipment being worn or carried by the target.

You roll a number of dice equal to your ranks in the Tech skill plus any ED generated by your attack roll to determine damage from this weapon, and reduce the target items Value by this amount. A weapon is destroyed if its value is reduced to 0, otherwise the DN to restore the weapon to working condition (with access to the appropriate tooling and materials) is equal to the items rarity plus your ranks in Tech.

When a creature attempts to make a test using a damaged piece of equipment (such as running in damaged power armour or firing a damaged weapon), they are considered _Hindered_.

When using this axe on technology not being work or carried, it behaves similar to a normal Power Weapon, but requires half the usual time to deal the same level of destruction.
___
**Mind Impulse Relay**
You may use an Action to plant this axe in the ground. When you do so, and until it is removed again, you may consider yourself to be in both the location of your body and the axe for the purposes of any abilities originating from you (such as the Rite of Magnometrics). This is limited to effects which are based on your ability to interact with technology.

#### The Loyal Kriegsmans Uplifting Primer
This battered document is Felix's guide to trying to die gloriously in the name of the emperor, containing many notes on the most dangerous aspects of numerous war zones. Recovering this primer allows you to use Ballistics Skill in place of Scholar for any Intelligence skill tests made to recall or learn information about enemies, or to engage in warfare tactics and strategy.

This primer functions as the Uplifting Primer (page 240), however you add your Tier to tests rather than +1.

At the start of each session, before the session commences, you may ask a question of the GM regarding Felix's experience, which the GM will answer helpfully. Examples for questions may include "Has Felix ever met a space marine?" or "Does Felix know what that horrible Tyranid thing eating that space marine is?".

**Implacable**
Once per session, when you would fail a resolve test, you may instead choose to succeed. In order to do so, you must use your next turn to get closer to the source of Fear, and attempt to do as much damage to the source as possible.

**Die Gloriously**
Whenever Felix makes a test to convert Wounds to Shock while he believes his life to be legitimately in danger, he may add +Tier ED to the test.

#### Sororitas Power Armour
This set of armour was granted to you as part of your journey of learning and spiritual growth to shield you from the universe.

This armour uses the base qualities of the Sororitas Powered Armour on page 233, with the following in built technology:
- Mag Boots
- Preysight goggles
- Respirator
- Void Suit
- Vox Bead
- Diagnosticator

The suit also functions as a Symbol of Authority.

Additionally, while you wear this armour in a combat situation, you may add +Tier bonus die to any checks made to inspire courage using displays of zealous violence.

**Psibaffle** The helm of this armour shields not just the body of its wearer, but their mind as well. You may add +Tier die to any test made to resist hostile effects which originate in the Warp and target your mind. If you roll a 6 on any of the additional die granted by this ability, the creature who targeted you suffers your Tier Shock. The creature also suffers 1 Shock for any 1's it rolls on the Test made to target you.

\pagebreakNum

#### Brazier of His Endless Wrath
This brazier is a holy symbol of the true faith of mankind, burning with a fury which extends beyond mere physical fire. While the brazier holds fire, creatures can feel a holy presence extending from the brazier, and this allows it to function as a Symbol of Authority.

In addition, once per session you may beseech the Emperor for aid in war. You may do so as an out of turn incidental, and when you do, you extend the duration of one *On Fire* condition you can see on a single target until the end of the Scene. This prevents the fire being extinguished by nearly any means short of similar power.

You may expend a point of Faith to increase the number of targets affected by this ability by +Tier.

**Faith is Fury.** Additionally, while you wield this brazier, you may spend either Wrath or Glory points as points of Faith.

**Grace of Him on Earth.** Recovering and wielding this Brazier grants you the Grace of Him on Earth talent.

## Iron Tide Chapter Starter Pack

#### Modified Sororitas Armour
The Adeptus Mechanicus have modified your Sororitas Power Armour, bringing it more in line with the standard Astartes power armour in design and functionality. You add the following features to your Soroitas Power Armour.

**Superconductive Accelerator Servos.** Modifying your armour to suit your particular style of combat, the Mechanicus have refined the servos in your armour to allow for increased speed. When you take the Charge, Run, or Sprint action, your speed increases by 1. In addition, you are able to overcome minor obstacles in your path when running without requiring you to slow down, vault over them, or move around them. Minor obstacles include low walls, barrels, crates, grots, small chasms, thin walls, and untrained rabble.

#### Astartes Scout Armour
The Adeptus Mechanicus have gifted you with a set of Scout armour, traditionally used by the leader of an Astartes Scout squad. This armour functions as a set of Light Power Armour (page 233), with the following additional features:
- Vox Bead
- Preysight Goggles
- Respirator

**Cameleoline Coating** As an action you may activate the Cameleoline property of this armour, causing the armour to take on the appearance of your surroundings. While this property is active, you have +1 bonus die to Stealth (A) Tests and +1 to Defence when in shadow or cover. While you are stationary, you gain +2 bonus die to Stealth instead.

#### Stalker Pattern Bolt Sniper
This Bolt sniper rifle is a ~~innovation~~ divinely inspired improvement to the traditional Astartes Sniper Rifle. It has the following properties:
* **Damage:** 10
* **ED:** 1
* **AP:** -
* **Range:** 18/36/54
* **Salvo:** -
* **Traits:** Sniper (2), Brutal, Heavy (2), Reliable
* **Keywords:** <font color=6E2024>IMPERIUM, ASTARTES, BOLT</font>

#### Loremaster Augmetics
These augmentations are primarily intended to be provided to the civilian loremaster of the Astartes chapter, but failing an official one, they can be provided to Maxinius. Due to the quality of the work conducted, these do not count as augmetics against the total number you can have.

**Internal Auger Array** You have an Auger Array permanently implanted in your brain.

**Memorance Implant** This implant is a neurally-linked datavault and pict-capture array, often incorporating augmetic replacement of one or both eyes, that records information on people or scenes viewed. It can then later replay that information, or overlay the present view with additional data on people and objects viewed. It is a tool of chroniclers, loremancers, and masters of ceremonies, as well as factors or nobles who like to see the secrets of their rivals overlaid upon their view of the negotiating table.

#### Leftover Augmetics
Unsure of exactly what Maurices role in this is, but also aware that the Rogue Trader will presumably expect something from them, the Adeptus Mechanicus offer Maurice the following augmetics. Due to the quality of the work conducted, these do not count as augmetics against the total number you can have.

**Blackbone Bracing** Your bones are wrapped with a lattice of plasteel to strengthen them and prevent damage. This implant is commonly provided for fingers, forearms, spine, shins, skull, and ribs both to grant more protection in combat. You impart the Brutal quality on any melee weapon you wield regardless of its existing qualities (even unarmed strikes). In addition, your Resilience increases by 1, and where an enemy would attempt to grapple, wield or throw you, you are considered to have the Cumbersome (4) property.

**VoxHailer Implant.** Your voicebox has been artificially strengthened, increasing the maximum volume you can normally achieve. Your voice may be up to twice as loud as a normal human voice, and carry twice as far, making you much easier to hear in combat or in large crowds.

## Legitimate Goods
These goods were acquired from an incredibly reputable, definitely licensed, and not at all shadey dealer located in the hive station of Ornare.

#### Stummer
The reverse of a Screamer, stummers generate sound waves to cancel out ambient sounds and noises made by moving personnel in a small area. This device is a small dark metallic disk which can be adhered to the side of a rifle or mag locked to a belt. You may activate the Stummer as a simple action on your turn, causing it to silence all noise you make for the next 10 minutes (including the sounds of gunfire from any reasonable weapon). Once activated it cannot be switched off again, and it requires recharging in order to be used again. The Stummer may be recharged over a short rest anywhere where you have access to power.

#### Mordrak Hand Flamer
This hand flamer functions as per the normal hand flamer located on page 219, with the following modifications:

* **Illegitimate** - This hand flamer has the <font color=6E2024>SCUM</font> keyword. If discovered on your person by an authority figure, it may be confiscated.
* **Proprietary** - This hand flamer only takes Mordrak branded flame canisters. Attempts to fit any adapters or alternative tanks void the warranty of this item, and the manufacturer will not be held liable for any issues caused by this.

## Tau'va Merch

The following items were acquired by Rogue Trader Maurice for legal reasons, and distributed to the party as part of a covenant with the Tau of the Mysari system.

#### XV12 Farstrider Armour
Experimental armour designed for the use of Gue'vesa shock troops throughout the Farsight enclaves, this armour is heavier than standard fire warrior armour, but materially lighter than that of even the smallest battlesuit. Driven by a reactor core in its back and moulded to the wearer, this armour is fast, light, and highly manourverable. By sacrificing the flight capabilities, the Earth cast have also been able to provide it with a straight line charge ability second to none within the Tau'va.

This armour provides you an AR of 4. In addition, it has the following traits:

* **Mont’ka** - When you move, you may activate the powerpack on the armour to accelerate you, allowing you to run at superhuman speeds. Your speed is doubled whenever you take the run, sprint, or charge action on your turn. Once you have done so, you may not do so again until you have taken a turn without spending any movement.
* **Excessively Herestical** - You increase the DN of any social tests you make against creatures with the IMPERIUM keyword by 4 whenever you are wearing this armour.
* **Friend of the Tau'va** - You do not suffer the usual penalties for a member of the Imperium interacting with Tau while wearing this armour.
* **Assault Velocity** - You gain the NARRATIVE TRAIT Fast (3) while you wear this armour.
* **Inbuilt Systems** - The armour has the following built in technology (brought to you by the Tau'va): Respirator, Void Suit, Vox Bead.

#### Darkstar Miniaturized Fusion Reactor
While not normally possible for a Tau to carry on their person, the increased bulk and resiliency of an Astartes makes it possible for you to carry this experimental reactor. Concealed within your converted armour powerpack, the Darkstar reactor produces a comically excessive amount of energy for your armours needs. It makes the following changes to your armours normal statistics:

* **Powered (+1)** - The Powered rating of your armour increases by 1.
* **Superconductive Accelerator Servos** - Your speed increases by 2 whenever you Charge, Run, or Sprint, and you are able to overcome small to medium obstacles without slowing down, such as normal building walls, and Troops.
* **Electromagnetic Stealth** Any attempts to detect you via electromagnetic means increase the DN of the test by 4.
* **Battlesuit Class Reactor.** Your reactor is sufficient to power even some of the larger Tau battlesuits. You gain the NARRATIVE TRAIT Sufficient Power (10), which is indicatively enough to conduct tasks such as powering an Imperium Dreadnought, or opening a set of titan fortress doors. Additionally you cannot suffer any complications which would involve your armour running out of power.

#### MV36 Guardian Drone
Developed in response to the high number of casualties suffered by Tau breacher teams, the Guardian drone projects an invisible mobile forcefield around the user, protecting them from harm. Unlike standard shield drones, the Guardian Drone is designed for shorter engagements, and thus while it projects a powerful field, it is not an especially durable form of protection, making it most useful when faced with excessive weaponry.

When you are targeted by a weapon (after you are announced as the target but before the die are rolled) you may choose to deploy your Guardian Drone. When you do so you gain 20 Temporary Resilience. When you would take damage, you instead deduct the total damage (including any AP) from the Temporary Resilience. Only once you have expended all of the Temporary Resilience do you once again take normal damage.

Once you have used the Guardian Drone in this way, you may not do so again until you have allowed the Drone to charge from your armours powerpack over the course of 1 hour. In addition, this drone confers the following properties:

\pagebreakNum

* **Excessively Herestical** - You increase the DN of any social tests you make against creatures with the IMPERIUM keyword by 4 whenever you are being actively protected by the Guardian Drone (or whenever someone takes a good look at your powerpack).
* **Friend of the Tau'va** - You do not suffer the usual penalties for a member of the Imperium interacting with Tau while you have the Guardian Drone on or near you.

#### Assimilator Pule Pistol
A heavily customised version of the standard Tau Pulse Pistol sidearm, this weapon uses pulsed induction fields to propel micro-bursts of plasma over short distances. It deals a base damage of 12 + 5 ED, with a range of 6-12-18. Additionally it has the properties of Salvo 1, Pistol, and the Keyword PLASMA. The weapon can also be modified with IMPERIUM weapon modifications as well as TAU ones.

* **Mont’ka** - This weapon is designed for a sudden strike, before the enemy have a chance to react. When you use this weapon as part of an ambush, or when initiating an unexpected combat (such as at a nice dinner party), it has AP -5 on the first turn of combat.
* **Stable Plasma Weaponry** - While not reaching the damaging heights of Imperial Plasma weaponry, this pulse pistol is also a significant degree safer. It is considered to be *Supercharged* at all times (damage already included), but does not suffer the negative consequences of this trait. In addition, it cannot suffer any complications normally associated with being a Plasma weapon.
* **Excessively Herestical** - You increase the DN of any social tests you make against creatures with the IMPERIUM keyword by 4 whenever you have this weapon displayed visually on your person.
* **Friend of the Tau'va** - You do not suffer the usual penalties for a member of the Imperium interacting with Tau while you have this weapon displayed visually on your person.
* **Gene-Locked** - This weapon is gene-locked to you, and will only fire in your hand.

## Imperial Acquisitions
The following items were acquired by the party from the Hyperion Cluster high command after returning that nice big xenotech titan weapon.

#### Archeotech Iron Halo
This Iron Halo is a relic of a forgotten age, using forgotten sciences to alter the velocity of projectiles around the user. The Iron Halo projects an entropic hyperdecelerator vector field around the user, causing projectiles originating from outside the field to slow and eventually drop in the field, coming to rest on the ground.

Any shots, lasers, projectles, missiles, grenades, or other similar things originating further than 24 metres from the Iron Halo are slowed and eventually stop. This protects the user and the area within 24m of them from physical ranged attacks originating from outside the area of the field.

Note this does not protect from apocalyptic effects, such as a sufficiently large explosion, shipborne weaponry, or anything on a similar scale. It may however diminish these effects somewhat within the area of the field.

On the <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE SCALE</font> this field allows you to ignore many of the consequences of being on a battlefield.

The <font color=6E2024>ADEPTUS MECHANICUS</font> assure you that the Iron Halo may only be usable for minutes at the time, but since integrating this into Annia's armour, you have not encountered this limitation...

#### Samaritan Pattern Grenade Launcher
This shoulder mounted grenade launcher was originally designed for use by the <font color=6E2024>ADEPTUS ARBITES</font> for use in negotiation with civilian uprisings, though it has also seen use by <font color=6E2024>ASTRA MILITARUM</font> forces across the galaxy.

While primarily a shoulder mounted weapon, this grenade launcher is also an augmetic, integrating into the shoulder blade and spinal column of the user, which allows it to be fired without requiring any hands, and can mentally be reloaded from the accompanying backpack. The grenade launcher uses the statistics of the Militarum Tempestus Grenade Launcher in the core rulebook (p.g. 220), with the following modifications:

* **Voltaic Accelerator.** The barrel of this grenade launcher uses magnetic coils to propel projectiles further and faster than normal. The range bands of this weapon are 28, 42, 56.

#### Illuminator Pattern Heavy Bolter
A normal heavy bolter is designed to utterly obliterate infantry and severely damage light vehicles, however these are designed with static positions or power armoured Sisters in mind. The Illuminator pattern of the Heavy Bolter is a design which has struggled to find a use within the armies of the Imperium, being too heavy to be effectively transported by Guard units, and having too much recoil to be effectively aimed. Working more as a directional force of nature than an aimed weapon, it is more or less pointed in the vicinity of an enemy and one simply hopes it doesn't stray too much off target.

The Illuminator is a Heavy (5) weapon with the Brutal quality, and the <font color=6E2024>BOLT</font> and <font color=6E2024>IMPERIUM</font> keywords. When fired as an action, you designate a 2m square rather than making an attack roll. The damage dealt by this weapon is determined by the range below.

\pagebreakNum

| Range  | Loot |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  18 or less  | 12 + 5ED |
|  19 to 36  | 9 + 4ED |
|  37 to 54  | 6 + 3ED |

When you fire this weapon, you must also roll a scatter die. One fired, the weapon then hits the target area, and also then moves 1d3 squares in the direction of the scatter die.

Creatures in the area of effect must make a Determination test, reducing the incoming damage by the number of successes rolled. For the purposes of ease, Troop mobs included in the area suffer casualties equal to 1 + the number of successes on the EDs rolled, up to the number of troops within the area.

#### Gentlemans Force cane
This force cane has been cunningly concealed as a fashionable gentlemans cane. The weapon functions as a Force Stave (p.g. 212), however does not have Range or the 2-Handed keyword, deals (S) + 3 damage, and has the Parry trait. The weapon also contains a Mono Rapier which can be revealed by twisting the handle and withdrawing the blade as a Simple Action.

This Mono Rapier deals (S) + 3 damage, 0 ED, and has AP of -1. In addition it has the Parry and Rending (2) traits. This rapier is also legal for most duels between nobility.

## Inquisition Acquisitions

The following items were taken from the unfortunately deceased corpse of Interrogator Luciel Sharp, in an unrelated incident not associated with the party.

#### Invictus Pattern Bolt Revolver
This unusual pattern of bolt weapon chambers 4 bolt shells at a time, and is known to shatter the hands of a user if not properly braced when firing it. This weapon uses the profile of a Bolt Pistol and has the *Reliable* keyword.

#### Witchreaper Bolts
Witchreaper bolts are forged to torment and slay the witch. Witchreaper bolts deal an additional 2 ED of damage to Psykers, and if you reduce a Psyker to 0 Wounds with one of these rounds, they permanently increase the DN of Psychic Mastery tests by 2, in the event they survive the experience.

**Ammo** You have 2 Ammo of Witchreaper bolts.

#### Interrogators Rosette
The Rosette of an interrogator, while not able to wield the full power of an Inquisitor, wields an awful lot of power within the Imperium. If used judicially, it can even avoid getting you killed.

**Unchecked Authority** While you do not wield full power of an Inquisitor, you can use the Rosette to invoke the power of the Inquisition. Generally speaking you may use the authority of the Rosette once per session without attracting undue attention as long as its use is not too flagrant or obvious (the GM will warn you if it is), with additional uses within the same session materially increasing the likelihood of you gaining attention. When you use the authority of the inquisition in this way, you add 2 x your Tier dice to a test if one is needed.

**Intrusion Spirit** The Rosette is equipped also with an Intrusion Spirit, a powerful Machine Spirit which is able to overcome a large number of security protocols within the Imperium. When you make a Tech test against a mechanical system for the first time, you may add your Influence to the die pool.

**Refractor Field** The Rosette also functions as a Refractor Field (Page 233 of the main book).

#### Veritas
Developed by members of the Ordo Hereticus, Veritas compels you to speak the truth. When imbimbed, the target increases the difficulty of any test made to resist interrogation or deceive by 4 for 1d3 hours. Veritas is an odourless, clear liquid that tastes vaguely like lemon (for the purposes of spiking someones drink). You have a single vial of this.

## Chapter Gear
Upon full ascension to Space Marines, you have been presented with the following gear.

#### Aquilla Mk VII Armour
Both of your Space Marines have been gifted with a set of Aquilla Mk VII armour. These have been retrofitted with all current upgrades to your armour, and also grant you the narrative trait *Alarmingly Graceful (3)* while being worn.

In addition, you have also both been given a boltgun or bolt pistol (your choice) fitted to an astartes frame.

## Pirate Shopping
Items acquired very legitimately on Station 354.

#### Force Rapier
This item functions as a Force Sword, however it has one less ED than normal, and one more AP. Additionally when you are fighting a sole enemy one on one with this weapon, it deals an additional +1ED, and you may use the Dangerous talent as an out of turn incidental.

#### Shock Maul
This item is currently broken, however belongs to a still living Arbites.

\pagebreakNum

## Mechanicus Gifts
As part of taking the Stars Disgrace, the Ad-Mech gifted you with the following:

#### Breaching Shield
The Breaching Shield is an enormous slab of armoured ceremite better suited to an Orgyn or war servitor. The Breaching Shield has an AR of 3, and has the Shield Trait. In addition, as a simple action on your turn while you hold the shield you may magnetize it, clamping it to a solid surface such as across a normal sized bulkhead door.

## Vanus Equipment
Creed was provided this equipment as part of his initial deployment.

#### Vakras Pattern Archeotech Eye Augmetic
As a major step within your initiation into the Temple Vanus prior to your first assignment, you have been implanted with an archeotech augmetic item. As a closely guarded secret of the Vanus Clade, the Vakras pattern augmetic is generally imperceptible, except to sufficiently talented individuals with cause to look for it. In addition to the below properties, it also functions as:
* An Auspex (Page 236)
* A Chrono (Page 237)
* Preysense Goggles (Page 239)
* A Vox Caster (Page 240)
* Magnoculars

**Variable Bone Actuators.** The integration of the augmetic into your facial structure is done using articulated plates which replace sections of your skulls bone. As a simple action you may use these to shift the facial structure of your face. While this does not make you completely unrecognisable, it generally will allow you to change your facial structure within the normal bounds of a human face.

*For example you may change your cheekbones from highly accentuated to not at all, or change the shape of your jaw from square to much smoother and more rounded. You can consider this to be the equivalent of a video game slider which allows you to change your face bone structure.*

**Optical Filters.** The ability to see through your Vakras pattern augmetic renders you immune to the effects of bright light which would blind you, such as a flashbang grenade, or staring straight into a sun.

**Data Vault.** The Vakras pattern augmetic provides you perfect recall of everything you see and hear, as well as functioning as a dataveil relay, allowing you to access the local noosphere, as well as any similarly networked devices in the same scene as you. You may also use the inbuilt data vault to deliberately forget information, encrypting it within your own mind, until such a time as the critiera for its recollection (set at the time of encryption) is met, at which point you may recall it again perfectly.

**Pict Ghost.** You are implanted with dataveil negators and electromagnetic disruptors designed to interfere with surveillance equipment. You do not register to the machine spirits of electronic weapon scopes. In addition, you are able to manipulate the information captured by vox thieves, pict recorders, and other similar devices in your vicinity. While you are within the same scene as them, any machine spirit you have interacted with sees at least one other individual in the scene as having your same appearance and voice. 
___
You may attempt to actively disrupt monitoring of your person, or that of others nearby. When you must spend at least 1 minute making a Tech test while interacting with the local dataveil. The DN of this is dictated by the security in place. On a success, select one other creature within the scene or well known to you. You cause Tier + 1 other creatures within the scene to take on either your appearance, or that of the target. You may shift additional successes to either add an additional creature to the total number you can alter the appearance of, or to add an additional target to the list of creatures whos appearance you can use.

_For example using a Tier of 3 (for a total of 4), you might use this ability to cause all machine spirits to perceive a target in a crowd as you, give yourself their appearance, and then also create a digital double of both yourself and the target at a different point in the crowd._

This ability allows you to manipulate surveillance equipment, and does not generally extend to manipulating personal augmetics or heads up displays within helmets. 
___
**Overload.** You may draw from emergency power reserves to use the Vakras Pattern augmetic to fire a single high powered lance of energy from it, though this drains your reserves. You may use this ability as an action to make a single attack using the weapon profile of a Lascannon, based on Intelligence (Tech Use). Once you have done so, the abilities of the eye cannot be accessed or used until you have recharged it for 24 hours against a normal power source, or 8 hours from a high capacity power source.

\pagebreakNum

## Godfreys Stuff
You have successfully ~~looted~~ reappropriated a number of items from Beckett Godfrey aboard station 354.

#### Tranquility

This heirloom powersword is a 2 handed power sword in the hand of a mortal, but fits neatly into a single hand for a space marine. The power sword is incredibly ancient, and clearly did not belong to Godfrey. With a crossguard styled as the twin headed aquilla and a blade of pure adamantium, it is a mighty weapon which can be shrouded in a disruption field to cleave through almost any substance. Oddly, the power field for this weapon is completely silent.

This Power Sword deals (Strength) + 6 damage, adds 4ED, AP -3, and has the following traits; *Parry, Rending (2), Silent, and Arc (3)*.

It also has the Dueling Grip modification.

**Tankbreaker.** When you hit a vehicle, fortification, or structure with this weapon, you may shift ED to reduce the targets resiliency rather than adding extra damage. When you do so the previous resiliency is used to determine damage, however the new resiliency will be used for any subsequent blows.

**Stormfield.** Tranquility was manufactured on Constallax 643, and has the Stormfield property. Any time a troop or Elite makes a melee attack against you and misses, the melee weapon they use is destroyed.

#### Last Light

This holy relic is now highly prized by the sisters of the Scarlet Alter, having been recovered from heretical scum. The weapon itself is a Heavy Flamer, and in addition to its normal properties can never run out of ammunition when in combat with creatures that have the Chaos or Heretic keywords, and it has the Blessed (4) property.

## Psychic Gifts 
I wonder who this could be from :)

#### The Ghost Blade of the Void King
This weapon haunts Maurice, though none but he can see it. It may be found resting on his hip, easily reachable strung across his back, or within arms reach on a nearby surface at all times. He is always aware of this swords position, and how one could go about drawing it. The promise of doing so seems to hold great potential, offering power to Maurice if only he would take it up. The words of the Commander Excurcael, the Exquisite Revelation seem to always find their way back to his mind when Maurice thinks of the blade, reminding him it was offered free of malice or obligation. 
___
The Ghost Blade always appears with Maurice between it and Sister Annia.

The Ghost Blade currently stores 4 6's which are available should Maurice ever require them.

## Quest Rewards
In addition to cash and favours, you also acquired a device from some infractionalists when you decided to speedrun a lot of jobs on the job board.

#### Magnometric Tether
This mechadendrite easily affixes to the power pack of a Space Marine, interfacing with its armours systems. While it would normally drain enough power to completely disable Space Marine power armour, it does not seem to suffer this restriction when integrated with Annias power pack.

Once per combat you may use a simple action and select a target for the Magnometric Tether within 24m. The result depends on the target you select:
* If the target is a creature with any amount of magnetic material on its person, and you are heavier than it or otherwise secured to a surface (such as with your maglocked boots) that creature is pulled in a straight line towards you, ending in a square next to you.
* If the target is a creature which is substantially more massive than you and has metal on its person (such as a Chaos Terminator), you are pulled towards it, ending in a square next to it. 
* If the target is a metallic object which is not heavily integrated into a larger structure (such as a metal door, or a weapon) and isn't substantially more massive than you, the object is pulled towards you and ends in a square next to you.
* If the target is a metallic object which is strongly secured or integrated, or is otherwise substantially more massive than you (such as a tank, a ship deck or ceiling, or bunker), you are instead pulled towards it, ending within one square of it.

You may alternatively target a 3m square of loose metallic objects, such as ammunition, spare parts, or drones. These are all pulled towards you, and deposited in a 1m pile directly in front of you.

## Shadowmarket Goods
Creed has used your wealth and influence (plus a few extra days of time spent in orbit of an industrious hive world) to acquire a number of illegal black market items. Unfortunately they are all broken, but with time and effort they can be repaired.

#### Ancient Stormshield
*Pending Restoration*
___
This ancient and venerable shield should never have been held in the private collection of a planetary noble, and conveniently it was liberated from this tech heresy, and restored to its rightful place in protecting the servants of the Emperor.

\pagebreakNum

This shield uses the statistics of the Storm Shield in the Wrath and Glory core rulebook (page 233) but provides a +3 AR rating rather than a +2. In addition to those rules, it has the following special properties:

* **Coriolis Pattern:** The Coriolis Pattern of power shields was first developed during the Horus Heresy and used by Blood Angel terminators. They made use of gravitic field generators to slow and even stop blows in combat, however the power consumption required by these shields made them impractical for normal use. Anyone who does not have the ability to provide sufficient power for this shield is unable to effectively use it. 
* **Gravity Field:** You provide the +3 AR bonus from your Storm Shield to all allies within 3m of you. 
* **Invulnerable** - You reduce all Mortal damage by 1 before you take it. If this reduces the Mortal damage to 0, then you take 1 shock instead.
* **Defiant.** - As a reflexive action you may spend 2 Wrath and reduce the damage from an incoming physical attack to 2 Mortal damage (reduced to 1 by your Invulnerable ability), and 1 Shock, catching it on your shield. You must use this ability after the attack has hit, but prior to any damage being rolled.

#### Phosphoric Pattern Rosarius
*Pending Restoration*
___
This pendant functions as a normal Rosarius, however is an ancient and rare sample of the works from the lost forge world of Phosphorix 7 (which was lost when its sun exploded in an incident unrelated to the ad-mech on the planet). In addition to the normal Rosarius benefits, it is equipped with a Phosphoric Reaction Field. The light generated by this field can be calibrated to be far brighter than the normal Rosarius protective fields. When you are hit by an attack which deals at least 10 damage (prior to any AR which reduces that total) you may select one of the following effects:

* **Illuminative Burst:** All creatures within 3m of you must make a DN 4 Determination test or be *Blinded* until the end of their next turn. 
* **Flash Flight:** The burst of light allows you a moment to move 3m without provoking reflextive action attacks.

#### Frostforge Pattern Multi-Melta
The Frostforge pattern of Multi-Melta was originally designed for carving out large ice caverns, however the natives of Norfyn'lnd quickly discovered it had other uses in combat scenarios. This weapon functions as a Multi-Melta from the Wrath and Glory core rule book (page 218), however has the following additional qualities:

* **Prison of Fire and Steel:** When you hit a vehicle or metallic structure of a similar size with this weapon, it superheats the air within the target as well. All creatures within it must make a Determination test with a DN determined by the size of the target (a Sentinel would use a DN of 5, a Rhino or Salamander would use a DN of 3, whereas a Baneblade or a Titan would use a DN of 0, and you take 1 Shock damage if you ask the GM if it works on a voidcraft). On a failure, the creature takes half the damage you dealt to the original target. 
* **Ice-Bane:** If you use this weapon against ice (such as if carving an ice cave or similar) it is twice as effective as normal.

#### Cardioproxy
___
This item functions as a Cardioproxy from the Wrath and Glory core rulebook (page 244). In addition to this, anytime you roll to undertake long endurance tasks (such as running for a day or more at a time) you may reroll failed dice equal to your Tier. If you reroll a Wrath failure, you retain the failure, but also use the new result.

#### Reflex Catalyst
This item functions as a Reflex Catalyst from the Wrath and Glory core rulebook (page 245). In addition to this, anytime you roll to Dodge, you automatically add 1 Success to the result.

## NULL REFERENCE
The following is the stats for the fixed Null Limiter, once it has been fixed.

#### Null Limiter
*Pending Restoration*
___
This limiter both amplifies and can shroud the effect your nature has on those around you. As a simple action you can set it to a state between 0 and 3. Each of the states is listed below:
* 0 - Shrouded: While you are still protected against psychic effects and the warp, creatures to not necessarily find you overwhelmingly unsettling.
* 1 - Bound: Those who stand near you or interact with you directly tend to find you unsettling or offputting, and psykers and creatures of the warp find you frightful. This is your default state without the use of the Null Limiter.
* 2 - Unbound: Anyone who can see you will tend to find you frightful and alarming or upsetting. This also extends to anyone who interacts with you indirectly, and psykers and creatures of the warp find you downright terrifying unless they are notably strong of will. 
* 3 - Transcendent: Everyone within the scene finds you frightful and unsettling, to the point of those without a notably strong will being completely incapacitated by your presence.

As a simple action on your turn, you may state a plausible action you could take on your next turn and select a Mob you can see who are yet to act. If the GM agrees that is a reasonable action you might take, then you spend 1 point of Wrath and the Mob must waste their next turn undertaking actions they think will prevent you from undertaking that course of action.

#### Emotional Resonance
___
- **XP Cost:** 5
- **Prerequisites:** The Telepathy Discipline
- **Effect:** When you psychically communicate with a target, you may also communicate an emotional tone along with your message.

#### Telepathic Intuition
___
- **XP Cost:** 10
- **Prerequisites:** The Telepathy Discipline
- **Effect:** When making a social test against a target, you may shift two successful dice to ask one of the following questions:

* In one word what does the target fear in this moment?

When you do so, you make the attack using your Intelligence and Ballistics Skill and the weapons profile. This may require you to gain access to those weapons first using Tech tests, however once you have control you may make this attack at any time in place of a normal attack as if you were standing at the location of the weapon. To provide examples of discrete systems which contain weapons, the following would be discrete systems:
* The main turret on a tank
* The sponson guns on a tank
* The foreward guns on a tank
* A single automated turret
* The las cannons on the side of the Thunderhawk

You may need to gain control of an upstream system before gaining control of a discrete gunnery system.

The item must be inanimate, reasonable, believable, able to fit within the space identified, and something your character would normally have access to.
- **Ranked:** You may spend an additional 5XP on this talent. When you do so, if the map the GM draws does not contain a suitable target for this ability, you may draw it on yourself, as long as it is no bigger than 4 squares.

<div class='cover-footer' style='z-index:350'>Downtime</div>
 
\pagebreak

## Downtime
Between every mission needs to come a bit of time to rest and relax. Unfortunately, heresy breeds from idleness, so instead one must keep themselves busy working to improve the imperium (or ones own personal circumstances, depending on your priorities).

### Downtime Scales
There are two scales of downtime activities we will use here, <font color=6E2024>PERSONAL</font> and  <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font>. <font color=6E2024>PERSONAL</font> downtime covers what your character gets up to between missions, and is limited to what is personally achievable by you. <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> downtime however is done via your supporting apparatus, and thus covers significantly wider scope activities but is also consequentially slower to achieve.

#### Personal Downtime
On a <font color=6E2024>PERSONAL</font> scale, you gain Downtime points equal to your Tier each time you take downtime between missions. These Downtime points may be spent on Clocks, which are specific timers to achieving a specific, quantifiable goal. You may have as many clocks as you like, but only have so many Downtime points to spend between a given set of missions. 
___
**Gambling on your Downtime.** Rather than investing a set number of points, you may instead gamble by making the investment a skill test. The difficulty of the test is set by the GM, with passing giving you a single success and you are then able to shift any additional 6's into additional Downtime points on the same clock only.

*For example, if you succeeded on the test with two additional 6's, you would be able to shift for a total of 3 Downtime points into the clock.*

Any points which are generated beyond the required amount to complete the clock are wasted.
___
**Risks of Gambling.** When you do a skill test to attempt to gain additional Downtime to spend, you also risk that detrimental effects can occur. The GM will tell you how many Wrath die are involved in your test, depending on how risky the activity is.

The GM use a failure on the test, and may shift any wrath critical failures into either progression on a detrimental clock, or may decrease another downtime clock. Additionally, your GM may also spend a point of ruin to turn a negative consequence of a test during a mission into a larger and more ominous downtime clock which can be contributed to. 
___
**Collaboration.** Multiple characters may all contribute to a single Downtime clock to work together on something. When they do so they may all invest points or gamble on a downtime activity.

##### Downtime Project Examples
The following are sample downtime activities you may choose to have as a downtime clock.

* Decrease Heat generated by a previous mission
* Acquire assets such as vehicles or things not normally available via Influence
* Acquire temporary Influence usable for the next mission
* Acquire space marine recruits/loose orphans 
* Acquire a service, such as a personal chef
* Long term project such as building something or writing a book
* Research such as medical research, or discovering the history of your chapter.
* Train for a skill or talent for a circumstantial bonus (not something mechanically powerful, but something like your bonus to lying to the imperium)
* Reduce your corruption (noting this would be a very long term activity as its not really something you are meant to be able to do)
* Recover from something, such as a particularly long term or debilitating injury.
* Speculate (in a merchant capacity for wealth)
* Commission something from the ad-mech or similar
* Build your reputation as a rogue trader, as a space marine chapter, or as a person.
* Scout something out (like getting the blueprints for something, or sending minions to get the lay of the land)
* Build a lie or establish a false flag for a future operation.
___
**Entanglements:** Entanglements are events which may occur to you between missions. Examples may involve bounty hunters (or pirates) coming to get you, the ship running out of fuel, or similar things. Some of these may be delayed consequences of your actions, and others may be random events which occur to you to add flavour to the world.

#### Narrative Downtime
Your <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> downtime is dictated by your ability to do strategic actions using your "supporting apparatus". This might include things like dispatching a ship to do a trade run, doing a favour for a faction to keep their hands clean, or larger more strategic ventures on behalf of or alongside your allies.

Your number of <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> downtime actions is determined by the supporting apparatus you have to help you undertake these actions. For the <font color=6E2024>ROGUE TRADER</font> this is determined by the number of ships you have at your disposal, and for the <font color=6E2024>SPACE MARINES</font> this is determined by the number of companies you have to hand.

The primary payoffs of <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> downtime are favours and standing.
* **Favours:** Favours are the metagame currency used to describe your ability to call on a faction to do something for you in exchange for previous actions you have done on their behalf. Favours can be acquired by taking the downtime action of *Do a favour*, but can also be done if you can interweave a favour as a stretch goal on a quest.

* **Standing:** Standing describes the overall regard a particular faction holds you in. Higher standing will generally equate to better (or more profitable) missions provided by that faction, as well as a better return on investment for your favours. 
___
**Current Narrative Downtime:** The party currently has **1** <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> downtime action they across the entire party, because they don't currently have anyone to do stuff for them, so they have to do it themselves.
___
**Favours.** Currently the 
Strategic downtime is focused on favours, letting you build up influence and gain access to the favour store
Can also be used to upgrade units

The party currently have one faction standing table which covers them all, however this will expand in time as they are able to take <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> downtime actions as individual entities (as a dynasty or as a chapter).

Specific <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> downtime actions may also affect standing with some factions negatively, as well as positively.

##### Narrative Downtime Actions

The following are the current <font color=6E2024>NARRATIVE</font> downtime actions available to the party.

###### Do a Favour
___
* **Requirements**: Neutral or positive standing with the faction.
* **Benefits**: You gain +1 favour with that faction
* **What**: You do something for a faction they would prefer not to do themselves, this might be something shadey, off the books, or otherwise best done by a "third party". 
* **Repetition**: Repeatedly doing favours for a given faction will increase your standing with them, though this has diminishing returns over time.

<div class='cover-footer' style='z-index:350'>Imperium Favours</div>
 
\pagebreak

## Imperium Favours
The following are the favours which can be purchased from the various factions you associate with. More favours will be added over time as your standing grows and your effect on the world increases. A favour can be purchased at any time you can reasonable convince the faction to provide it to you. For example, you may not purchase air support from the Astra Militarum while you are out of vox contact with them, but would be able to do so while near a relay to extend the signal to your ship (such as in the groundcar, or the Thunderhawk).

In the below favour profiles, the following are the aspects of the profiles:
* **Favour Cost:** the one time cost you must expend in order to enact the favour
* **Required Standing:** the minimum standing needed from the faction in order for them to consider granting you this favour
* **Factions:** the factions from which this favour may be purchased (where multiple apply)

This bonus damage is applied after calculating your total damage, not to the weapon’s Damage value.

#### Chaos Familiar
___
- **XP Cost:** 20
- **Requirements:** CHAOS Keyword
- **Effect:** The Dark Gods have rewarded you with a minion drawn from the Warp. This malign creature revels in violence and deception, and serves as a constant reminder of your choices. Chaos familiars are unreliable, fickle, and treacherous, but they can be a powerful tool in any cultist’s arsenal. You gain +2 Corruption. 
___
You gain a minion, a lesser daemon spawned from the Warp. It uses the Brimstone Horror profile (see p.349), but has a 1 in all Attributes. Its only Skills are Scholar (5) and Stealth (8).

Once persuaded, the daemon goes to extreme measures to accomplish whatever task you set, to the best of its limited abilities. 
___
At the GM’s discretion, if the minion sees you act against the interests of the Warp, the familiar immediately turns on you until it’s destroyed or convinced of its mistake. If the familiar is slain, you must spend a Wrath Point to summon it again — which is time-consuming and requires the GM’s permission.

#### Conversational Cogitator

#### Born Survivor
___

- **Requirements:** None
- **Effect:** You have a tiny compartment hidden on your person, either inside an augmetic or carved into your flesh.

#### Deductive Genius
___
- **XP Cost:** 10

___
The GM will give you an honest answer, but will not give you brand new information unless it can be plausibly extrapolated from what you already know. More likely, they will direct you to an individual or location where new information can be found, but this may take you into further danger!

When you requisition Clothing (Wrath & Glory, pages 236-237), you gain bonus dice on social Skill Tests equal to the Rarity of the Clothing, in situations where your appearance would make a positive impression.

Choose a proscribed subject you have unsanctioned knowledge of: for example, daemons, heretical beliefs, a specific alien species, even a secretive Faction you don’t have the Keyword for (such as INQUISITION, ADEPTUS ASTRA TELEPATHICA or OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM). Alternatively, with your GM’s consent, you can detail a little known and dangerous secret — the true allegiances of a powerful Patron, the fate of the Absolver Chapter Command, etc. 
___
You gain +Double Rank bonus dice on Tests that benefit from your forbidden knowledge. However, GMs may spend Complications rolled on these Tests to award themselves 2 Ruin instead of 1. Your forbidden knowledge may increase the DN on resistance Tests to learn more tantalising truths about the subject, such as social Skills used by individuals with the relevant Keyword, or Corruption Tests. Whilst your knowledge makes you a useful asset to some, it makes you a dangerous liability to others. Caveat emptor!

#### Force Of Will

* Scholar (Int), when you spend a Combat Action recalling relevant knowledge whilst watching the target in combat.

Whichever Skill you use must be chosen when you first purchase this Talent, and must be rated 3 or higher. The DN of the Skill Test is usually 3, but may vary; for example, a target may make an Opposed Test against Insight (Fel) using their Deception (Fel) Skill. You can only track one enemy’s weakness at a time. When you or an informed ally makes an attack against a target whose weakness you know, you inflict +Double Rank additional ED.

#### Imposing Presence

* Increase the weapon Damage by +Rank.
* Remove the Unwieldy Trait.
* Add one of the following Traits: Inflict (On Fire), Inflict (Poisoned 3), Inflict (Restrained), Parry, Pistol, Silent. This option may be chosen more than once, selecting a different Trait each time.
* Double all weapon Ranges (Simple Firearm only). Players should provide details about the weapon they craft, which may affect its Keywords and possibly the range of available Traits you can spend Shifts on.

#### No Escape
___
- **XP Cost:** 10
- **Requirements:** Initiative 5+
- **Effect:** You are extremely skilled at blocking enemies from getting past or away from you. Enemies Engaged with you cannot use the Fall Back Combat Action. Additionally, you gain +Rank bonus dice on Reflexive Attack Tests.

___
When you use a weapon with the LAS Keyword and the Reliable Trait, rolling a 1 on the Wrath Die does not trigger a Complication. This effect does not apply when you are Dying.

## Rite Rules

*‘Blessed are the righteous who take up His holy sword. Blessed are the crusaders who challenge His hated foes. Blessed are the victors who vanquish the unclean and damned. Blessed are the fallen who perish in His name, for they will walk at the Emperor’s side.’*

A Rite is a religious recitation, devotion, or ceremony you undertake in honour of the God Emperor of Mankind. While these may seem to some to be a simple religious trapping, they hold a hidden strength to those devoted to Him on Earth.
### Using Rites
If a character has true, legitimate, and honest faith in the God Emperor of Mankind, they may take any Rite talents. Rite talents following the following rules:

* These talents do not require Faith in order to use, except where this is a prerequisite for the talent to be taken. 
* A character can only be undertaking one Rite at a time.
* A character must use the time listed in the 'Activation' section of the talent in order to begin it. 
* If the Rite also lists an offering, this must be paid as part of activating the Rite. This offering is consumed in the Rite, unless otherwise specified.
* A character must use their Simple Action on their turn to continue a Rite.
* A Rite lasts until the character(s) end it, or until they are unable to continue it (such as being silenced, or knocked unconscious).

#### Layering Rites
Some Rites grow in strength when supported by many. If a talent has the **Layered** property, then this will describe the benefits of more than one character in the same scene conducting the same rite.

When you do so (as long as the GM approves this), you may set aside a number of Wrath points which are unavailable for use for the duration. If you complete your Oath, you receive the Wrath back. In addition the party also receives an amount of Glory equal to three times the amount of Wrath you set aside.
- An Oath of Moment must be sworn against an Elite or Adversary, if the Oath is to slay a particular foe.

For each of your ED that you spend in this way, you do not roll them for damage but instead the target is pushed back a number of meters equal to the amount you roll.
