Warhammer fantasy & pathfinder?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So, I am (kinda) convinced that there is at least one person working on pathfinder/golarion that's a fan of warhammer fantasy (WF).

I first started thinking about it when I learned about mendev & the worldwound. The thematic elements were (somewhat) reminiscent of the chaos maelstrom in the north of the world of warhammer fantasy.

Then, I noticed that the new "Monster Codex" included ratfolk among classic (and otherwise evil) races, despite not really having that history in any of their products. In fact, the only product that I know of where ratfolk are a significant evil is warhammer fantasy, with the Skaven/Ratmen.

Of course, 2 data points does not make much. So I was wondering if people have noticed other similarities in golarion or the general pathfinder rules which are connected to warhammer fantasy.

I'm kind of missing the part where most characters start with 3 hit points and most monsters with 5-8, and hit for up to 6 at the beginning.


Not so much but my homebrew steampunk world pulled a lot of inspiration from Warhammer. I even dropped alignment and just have a Chaos system.

That is the rougher part... I'm in a Warhammer fantasy roleplay 2ed game and death is just too easy sometimes...
