New thread for upcoming game.
sounds good. You can be a Black Legion Sorcerer easily. If you wanted to be from way back in the Horus Heresy days you just take Ancient Warrior talent and your golden :)
Stat Rolls:
Roll 2d10 10 times and drop lowest roll for normal stats
Roll 1d5 for Infamy
So many options.....
Would you recommend I get to a 5 in Psyker rating and build around that? Would cost 2250 to do so though...
Psy Rating 5 is pretty good starting out and opens a lot of options for powers.

yeah will be about 2 months or so.
So far we will have a CSM Sorcerer (former sons of horus ancient warrior), CSM Veteran of the Long War (Dark Angel Fallen), Alpha Legion (unsure background yet). The other 2 will probably be a World Eater Berserker and a tech-priest of some sort not sure if it will be the warpsmith or the Polox human one.
I put a text copy of the character sheet up on the campaign info page so you can easily edit and then past that into your profile once set.
Possession from Book of Decay is an option if anyone wishes to try that as well. There are Pros and Cons for possession of course :)
So i'm thinking i may start the campaign only 500 years after Horus fell and Abbaddon becomes Warmaster. The legions are scattered and waring amongst each other since the fall of Horus and things are uncertain for those who fell.
Would fit in really well with your character as the Black Legion doesn't exist until around that time.
Since I'm going to be starting the game off only 450 years after the Horus Heresy everyone will be required to take Ancient Warrior if your archetype doesn't already have it.
I believe all the advanced archetypes have it in there by default or as an option. The base archetypes will need to buy it.
Everyone should start looking at character creation and getting the ball rolling as we will probably start in about another month or so. DH is wrapping up soon.
Dark Heresy is now finished. If your still interested in Black Crusade please let me know and start rolling up your characters!
I will look through books to make sure I dont have a better option than what I already picked n finalize this weekend.
I am a Fallen Angel.

Never got a chance to get to it Caps, will try to do it this wek.
Deathraven,
Change Common Lore Screaming Vortex to Common Lore Eye of Terror.
S: (8) 40 (10)[60] - What is the (10) [60]? 40 +20 from power armor unsure what the (10) is.
On the assault bike I'm going to say no on that for now. Don't want any vehicles in play at this time other than possible space vessels you may be with at start of game. And the bike won't have any action for a long time.
Everything else seems ok to me.
The (10) is total damage bonus in melee. Want to remember what gets doubled when I use the power fist.
ok :) I would of put it at the end instead of the [60] for me that makes it easier but whatever works :)
Stickin with what I have and my planned progression. Will finalize avatar next week.
Replacing the Combat Bike with Black Blood.

Don't forget to include which archetype abilities you took if you had the option to pick (veterans of the long war)
Deathraven: did you roll for your corruption? I believe CSM get first one at 10?
Dennis I put your character into a character sheet.
All normal archetypes are getting +15 corruption and +9 infamy just like the advanced archetypes.
you still have 500xp to spend on psychic powers for picking sorcerer.
You need to roll for your pride, disgrace, motivation, corruption table, and pick additional starting gear (3 items with rarity of no worse than -10) or you can look at legacy weapon options.
Also need to roll for your armor abilities.
Oh sorry...Dread Wail is there in the talents!
I would like to get this game rolling after the new year as I know everyone is busy with the holidays so try to finalize characters and I can go over some history with you about your char to get things going.
Sending out some background info for your chars. If you wish to add/change things just let me know.
Curt Rolls:
HP
Infamy
curt rolls
infamy corruption roll
basic corruption
curt legacy weapon
small house rule after going through char creation with curt yesterday. For the subsystems open on your power armor all the Legion Power Armor subsystems are good. The 5 normal ones are the ones you pick the 3 from. If you pick the armor special that gives you 2 extra that means all subsystems are active.
Any questions let me know.
lets try to finalize characters by this weekend if possible. I'm going to start posting stuff in gameplay for your characters next week sometime.
