/ *Designer's Notes:* You might have noticed that these racialtemplates list advantages such as "Longevity" and "Extra Life Span" ascosting 0 points. This is intentional. It is my humble opinion that if adisadvantage that doesn't penalize the character in any way shouldn't beworth any points, then the reverse should also be true for advantages.In my more than ten years of RPG experience, I have /never /had acampaign that lasted more than two years of game time. In other words,characters simply didn't get old enough to ma e aging rolls while thecampaign lasted. Thus, I have decided to ma e all such advantages0-point features in my campaign, since it would otherwise ma e elves and


2/5

dwarfs more expensive than neccessary. If you want to use the "defaultcost" for these advantages, raise the cost of elves by 15 points, andthe cost of dwarfs by 10 points./

Advantages

*Extra Fatigue

*It is reccomended that spellcasters should be allowed to purchaseExtra Fatigue beyond the normal limit of 3 or 4 levels suggested inCI24. If the GM wants to impose a maximum, 10 times the character'slevel of Magical Aptitude should be appropriate.*

Literacy and Semi-Literacy*

Illiteracy is the norm in the world of Warhammer. Thus,Semi-Literacy is worth 5 points, and Literacy is worth 10 points.

*Magical Aptitude*The talent for magic is inborn. Thus, if a character doesn't have a

level of Magical Aptitude at character creation, he cannot purchase it

later on. The exception to this are elves, who are all able to learnmagic. However, if a character does have Magical Aptitude at some level,he can purchase a higher level later on - up to the normal maximum ofthree. The GM might decide to allow certain High Elves and S aven topurchase a fourth level of Magical Aptitude, but these should bestremain non-player characters.

Disadvantages

*Slayer?s Vows ?25 points*

This disadvantage can only be ta en by dwarfs, but does not count

against their 40 point limit on personal disadvantages when ta en bythem. A dwarf with these vows will always see out the most dangerousopponent he can find, and attac it until one of them is dead, wearingneither armor or a shield for protection. Trollslayers and other Slayerscan buy additional levels of Damage Resistance (3 points/level), up tothe following limits:

Trollslayer: DR 2Giantslayer: DR 4Dragonlayer: DR 6Demonslayer: DR 8

It is recommended that PC Slayers in a normal campaign of 100

character points and less start as Trollslayers.

*Language S ills*

These languages are spo en by the various peoples of the Old World:Dar Tongue (Beastmen, Warriors of Chaos), Elthrin (Elves), Goblin

Money and Wealth

Starting Wealth for GURPS Warhammer is 160 gp. Multiply the cost ofany GURPS equipment by 0.16 (or divide it by 6, if that results in awhole number) to get the cost in gold pieces.

Magic and Spells

*Spellcasters and armor*

Spellcasters who wear armor add their highest non-magical PD armorbonuses to the casting costs of all their spells.

/Example:/ A wizard wears chain mail with PD 3 and DR 4. He adds 3 tothe energy cost of all his spells.

Additionally, spellcasters may not use the Recover Strength spell toregain fatigue faster than normal while wearing armor.

*Dwarfen and Halfling mages*

Dwarfen and Halfling mages (non-divine spellcasters) add one pointto the energy cost of all their spells. Halfling mages also substracttwo from their effective s ill levels with any spell. Dwarven mages dothe same with all spells except for enhancement spells.

*Divine Magic*

Divine spellcasters require the Power Investiture advantage to castspells. The Clerical Investment advantage is very common, but not required.

*Sample Faiths*
