You could also check out the following, Wayfarer's RPG, the new Advanced Fighting Fantasy, or QUERP.

The following would be good example models; Kenzerco's Hackmaster basic,
Green Ronin's Dragon Age RPG set 1, and even TSR's 1070 Black Box set from the early 90's.

You might try this...just replace "kender" with "class name"

When a kender taunts an intelligent creature,
who can understand the kender's speech;
the creature must make a successful saving
throw vs. spell (Wisdom bonuses apply). If
the creature fails, it attacks the kender wildly
for ld10 rounds, with a - 2 penalty to hit and
a + 2 penalty to his Armor Class because of
the affected being's irrationality.
If a particular victim is assumed to be more::
or less vulnerable to such abuse, the DM can
apply penalties or bonuses to saving throws as
desired.

Ah, Palladium my love/hate mistress. I own every damn fantasy book in the series. In 1996 I traded AD&D 2nd ed. for Palladium fantasy 2nd ed.
In 1998 I converted the entire Night Below campaign to Palladium and set it in Krynn. Four years running that monster. Even now I can still hear her psi-ren(get it) call.

House rule: Re-clawing the De-clawed. or old skool F--- you up.

Lethality of combat (or eviscerate one another)
all normal damage rolls are open ended.
example: bastard sword 1d10 dmg, if the result of the die is a "10", the die is rolled repeatedly until a "10" is not rolled.

Natural 20's are also open ended. Each result of nat. 20 increases critical multiplier by +1 (x3 , X4 etc.)

Critical hits: multiply all dmg according to crit. multiplier x2, x3 and so on, bleed, poison, sneak etc.
example: bastard sword +2 w/16 str (+3 mod.)
for instance x2 is..2d10+6, remember it's open ended...(the 2d10)
enhancement bonus(+2) so..+2d6 crit dice..open ended..
if one had sneak attack of 3d6...increase to 6d6...also open ended.
poison: 5 dot becomes 10 dot.

Dying from system shock:
work in progress...essentially,
example: fort. score of 17 would equal a system shock score of 34. if target takes dmg = to this or greater than, from a single attack, basically from one damage roll..then target is is immediately disabled( 0 hp) and begins to die.

add the following to vorpal weapon description:
"if target is slain by a vorpal weapon, it's life force or soul has been obliterated. Death is permanent."

As you can see this puts the sting (and fear) back into the game. Now obviously your not going to roll maximums all the time, but this system does liven things up a bit.

I just got into Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay this last week.

I think it may be suffering from football bat syndrome. As my Grandad was wont to say; "I've never tried a s$$@ sandwich, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it."

It's canceled.

If he has not already ordered the Pathfinder Beta, I will gladly purchase one for him.
