Deathwatch Conversion for D&D 3rd Edition

Warhammer 40k: Deathwatch Roleplaying Game.

Basics:

Ok, so this was kinda designed on the fly, but hopefully I should be able to give you the basics and then some.

The system is based on the same basic D20 basis as D&D, however as you will later discover there are some simple, if fundamental changes to statistics and items, but it is my hope that this will very much be a ‘pick up and play’ conversion.

The Deathwatch are the Ordo Xenos Chamber Militant, which is to say that the Inquisitors who specialise in killing aliens have them at their disposal. The Deathwatch Company's strength varies between a few squads and a few hundred Marines depending on current levels of attrition etc. What makes it unique amongst all Space Marine groups is that the Deathwatch consists of Space Marines from many Chapters, who send some of their finest to serve for up to 10 years if not more. Not only does this allow them to bring back vital skills and experience to their Chapter... it also keeps them at peace with the Inquisition. Relatively speaking.

Because of the fact that everyone is a Space Marine (PC wise) in this, you might notice that there are only a few variations in terms of make up. However, Space Marines still vary in terms of their individual abilities, some are stronger, larger, more intelligent, others are tougher and still others have Psychic potential.

Ultimately, what this means is that there are extremely limited options as to what a Marine can be compared to what is available for a character in D&D, still, I think you'll find it will balance out.

Enjoy. Or Loathe. Let me know either way.

1) Gameplay Basicsi) The StoryCongratulations on starting your first Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch Kill Team campaign. No doubt your DM has a nightmarish tale of deceit, war and terror in store for you. Remember, as far as you are concerned, until you stop playing the DM speaks with the Voice of the Emperor Himself. He will be acting as your liaison to the world you are playing in, however please try to remember that you and your character are two separate people, knowledge can come from your character to you via the DM, but not the other way around.

ii) The Game: Skills Skill checks are made in the same fashion as D&D, if you see something appropriate to one of your skills, you should point this out to the DM and they will ask you to roll to see if your characters knowledge/skill in that area is up to spec. If not, you won't be told what there is, if you do, then you'll find out the extra information. Some skills are useful in combat too, for example “Momentum” could be used to push a nearby opponent out the way or knock them down. In these cases, state what you are doing and roll a D20. When you create your character, your intelligence allows you to pick a number of skills to be “Trained” in. Trained skills receive an automatic +4 to all checks made using them, not including ranks and Ability modifiers. Checks can be made using untrained skills, if allowed by the DM.

Iii) The Game: a) Inventory & Weight Limits.Weight Limits and Inventory are different in Deathwatch than in normal D&D, simply because a Space Marine going into combat doesn't really have a lot of room spare for picking up extra items. On board your Battle Barge or at Inquisitorial HQ, you have a personal Vault in which you can store items that you wish to keep. However the DM may also have set up an Armoury which should contain the basics such as common weapons and ammunition. But this is optional on their part, you may have to scavenge ammunition and equipment. Please note, in addition to this the DM may set a limited stock of items in the Armoury, for example there may only be 2 Heavy Bolters with 500 rounds available, if you upgrade a character to use one of these, or exhaust its ammunition, then there may be no more available for the remainder of the mission, this is entirely up to the DM.

Because you are only carrying necessary equipment, your will always move as if unencumbered.

On your character you have the following spaces for equipment available:Right HandLeft Hand6 Belt Slots (each slot can be used for a small item*)Back Slot. (the back slot can hold a medium item)*certain items have an exception.

Please that the number of spaces available is affected by the type of armour you are wearing.

To give an example of what this means:The player is equipped with standard power armour, he chooses to take a Plasma Pistol (small) in his left hand and a Power Fist in his other. He uses 3 of his belt slots to hold ammunition for his ranged weapons, 1 to hold a melta bomb and 1 to function as the holster for his pistol.. On his back he puts a standard Boltgun.

In this case, the character is pretty well equipped for almost anything, however should he find something useful in the field, he will have to drop an item to carry it (if possible). Please bear in mind when equipping items that some items will prohibit the use of others.

Items from each characters specific chapter are available, but only at character creation or if found. The Deathwatch Armoury does not hold a Chapter-Specific Inventory.

Items found in the field can be marked for later recovery if they are not able to be immediately taken using Locater Beacons, however only a limited number of these can be carried per deployment (to be set by the DM). Recovered items are placed in the Armoury.

Items can be purchased from the Armoury using Wargear points, awarded alongside Experience Points and for Leveling up.

Certain Items can also be returned to the Chapters they came from or sold to the Inquisition in return for Experience or Wargear, however in doing so they cannot be accessed or used. Additionally, items from specific chapters can be used by characters who are from those chapters. For example, if you find a lost Imperial Fist Librarian Force Sword, an Imperial Fist Librarian could use it if there is one in the party but no one else would be able to use it other than as a long lump of metal.

Finally, please note that limited use items purchased from a Chapter Armoury can be replenished at original purchase cost from the Deathwatch Armoury. (additionally, note that if a character

purchases equipment without the feat to use it can be stored up until the point that it can be)

b) ArmourArmour and AC differ in Deathwatch from D&D. A suit of plate in D&D renders the wearer slow and clunky. A suit of Power Armour in Deathwatch does not have the same effect.

There are 4 Grades of Space Marine Armour in the 40k Universe – Scout (Carapace), Power, Artificer and Terminator (Tactical Dreadnought).

Scout armour provides minimal protection (relatively speaking, it is still significantly tougher than a Guardsman’s Mesh Tunic.) and is normally only used by the Scout Company before they are deemed skilled enough to join the ranks of the Tactical Squads. It is unpowered and does not enhance the abilities of the marine wearing it at all. It is less bulky than a suit of Power Armour, however the only real effect this has on the wearer is that they are harder to spot when being stealthy.

Power Armour is the standard armour of a Space Marine. The design has remained relatively unchanged for over 10000 years. The armour contains powerful servos, rebreathers, waste processors and stimulants, further enhancing the Space Marine’s physical abilities. However, due to the size and automation of the suit, it requires a power plant housed in the unit mounted on the Marines back. If this power plant fails, the Marine can find himself armoured but hauling around several hundred kilograms of metal and ceramite across his body.

Artificer Armour is Power Armour which has been crafted by a master smith, it offers a greater amount of mobility and better protection than Power Armour. Usually, Artificer Armour is reserved only for use by senior members of a Chapter, however there are certain circumstances where it is awarded to Marines that have shown exemplary behaviour.

Terminator Armour is also known as Tactical Dreadnought armour. It is exceedingly rare and it takes decades for even a single new suit to be built. The right to wear Terminator Armour is only awarded to those who have distinguished themselves in combat to a high degree. As well as having more powerful motors and servos, the armour is so thick that it deflects all but the most powerful blows. A Marine in Terminator Armour is a walking Tank, there have been cases of solitary Terminators holding off and destroying swarms of weaker enemies with relatively little damage.

With the exception of scout armour, the powerful servos and neural linkage that connects into the Marines Black Carapace allow the Marine to move with almost no restriction. In fact it can have the opposite effect, boosting the strength, speed and durability of the Marine as well as offering protection from everything shy of the most powerful of firearms. Accordingly, by game standards, the AC value of the Armour includes all direct potential bonuses from abilities. Saying that, there are feats that allow for an increase to AC, likewise as a Marine gains experience, his ability to get the most from his armour increases.

On a final note, all armour except Scout Armour also comes with a Helmet. Helmets can be upgraded separately from the rest of the armour to enhance abilities, for example it may well have an advanced targeting system built in, providing a +1 to all melee to-hit rolls etc. Helmets also provide certain limitations – Max + Senses bonus when wearing a helmet: 2. This means that regardless of how highly trained a Space Marines sense of smell or sound is, the greatest bonus he will ever get with a helmet on is a +2 as the filters in the helmet are not as sharp as his own senses. There are certain circumstances where helmets MUST be worn, for example – in space. While a Space Marines physiology is capable of letting him survive in a vacuum, he will still take damage

from the deep cold if his armour isn’t sealed.

iv) Combat – RangedRanged combat is fundamentally the same as in D&D, in that you roll a D20 to see if you hit or not. However there are a couple of differences. The biggest difference is that the damage a weapon does is not affected by your abilities, only your chance to hit is. If you shoot a gun, does the amount of damage you can do depend on how strong or dextrous you are? No. The same principle applies here. Roll a D20 and add the relevant ability score modifier, if the total is greater than the targets AC then you have hit them and can cause damage.

v) Combat – MeleeMelee combat couldn't be simpler. Roll a D20 and add the relevant modifiers, if the result is greater than your opponents AC then you have hit them.

vi) Combat – Psychic AbilitiesPsychic abilities are cast in the same way as magic spells are in D&D. Every spell has a specific effect listed in its entry, along with any additional information.

To cast a psychic power, roll a D20 and add your Wisdom Modifier. If you beat the difficulty score then the power is cast. It will always automatically hit its target. The target makes the appropriate save, if he fails then he is affected by the power. Please note that as well as having a critical success effect, there are also penalties for a critical failure.

If the psyker critically fails to cast, then roll a D6. On a roll of 1-3 there is no effect other than a failure to cast. On a roll of a 4, the psyker takes D6 damage. On a roll of a 5, he takes D6 damage and cannot cast until the next encounter. On a roll of a 6, the Psyker cannot cast unless he makes a successful will save at the start of the next encounter equal to the difficulty of the spell he failed on AND takes D6 damage.

Be warned, in certain circumstances channelling the power of the Warp can be more difficult or downright dangerous. In areas where the Warp itself is unstable, the chance to use it successfully is slimmer and the effects of failing can be disastrous.

Vii) Movement – GeneralMovement speeds for general storyline purposes will be defined by your DM, for example it might take a day to trek through a forest, or an hour to deploy via Thunderhawk to a planet.

Viii) Movement – Encounter.Merging D&D and 40k here a little, movement during an encounter is defined by squares. Every character (unless stated otherwise) may move 6 squares and still shoot or attack. However from stationary, a Marine is able to charge (gain +1 to hit) if they do not shoot and move at least 7 (up to a normal maximum of 12) squares to reach their target.

Front Left (Chargable) Front (Charge) Front-Right (Chargable)

Left Target Right

Rear Left Rear Rear-Right

If you wish to charge a character who is blocked in any way by another enemy character, you may do so as long as you pass a momentum check. Roll a D20 and add your Momentum score, the enemy must roll a D20 and add their strength modifier. If you beat them, they are pushed to an adjacent square and do not get an attack of opportunity against you. If you do not beat them, you are halted in your tracks at them, lose the attack and are subject to an attack of opportunity from that model.

ix) Taking Damage and other things of interest.You will both cause and take damage, this is simply a fact of the game. Damage is broken down into two types and four grades.

Type 1: Physical Damage. Physical Damage, unsurprisingly, is caused by being struck or hit with physical force. This cuts flesh, breaks bones etc etc and is by far the most common type of damage. Pretty much everything causes it to a lesser or greater degree, including psychic abilities. Depending on your constitution and general toughness, it is possible to build up a sheer physical resistance to damage that can negate some effects entirely.

Type 2: Energy Damage.Energy Damage is broken down into two further types: Elemental and Psychic. Elemental Damage is more common, consisting of Fire, Lightning, Frost and Acid, usually caused by an effect on a weapon rather than the weapon itself. Lightning Claws didn’t get their name for no reason. Psychic Damage is caused by Psychic Effects and is more likely to involve damaging statistics and ability scores as a side effect.

The Type of damage a weapon does follows the following key:

Physical: PPsychic: PsFire: FAcid: ALightning: LFrost: Fr

For example, a Bolt Pistol that is equipped with Hellfire Rounds does:Damage: P D8 + F 6 damage.

Grade 1: Conventional DamageConventional Damage is effectively damage taken that allows you to keep on functioning. It essentially consists of all the normal damage taken as you progress along.

Grade 2: Catastrophic DamageCatastrophic Damage is when a single blow reduces the target to 50% or less of their hit points, this causes the target to become incapacitated as their body struggles to deal with the effect. The target must make a fortitude save vs DC 24 + STR modifier of the attacker or remain incapacitated.

Grade 3: Fatal DamageFatal Damage is when a single blow reduces the target to 25% or less of their hit points. In this event, unless the target has a rule stating that they cannot be instantly killed, they will die.

Grade 4: Overpowering Damage

Overpowering damage is what happens when a weak target is hit by a large target. This frequently causes instantaneous death, simply because regardless of their hit points, a small target is too weak to withstand the attack. For example, a Space Marine Boltgun fires a round that is the size of a large egg. These rounds are Mass-Reactive, meaning that when they impact against something, they explode a moment later. Essentially meaning they go inside something then go bang. A normal human being would, upon being hit by a bolt, either go into shock or die.

To represent this, all weapons have a FAT (fatality) statistic. Models with a constitution value of less than this statistic are automatically killed upon a successful hit. With Melee Weapons, add the STR bonus of the attacker to the FAT value of the weapon. Upon a Critical Hit, the FAT of a weapon multiplies according to the Critical Value of the Weapon. 2) Character Creation.Characters are created in the following order.ChapterClassAbility ScoresSkillsFeatsInventory

i) ChaptersThe available Chapters to pick from are:Ultramarines – Peerless Warriors who adhere to strict guidelines to win their battlesImperial Fists – Masters of defensive warfareDark Angels – Remnants of a Knightly Order, veterans of invading mysterious Space HulksSpace Wolves – Ferocious and tenacious, the Space Wolves are feared close combatants.Salamanders – Hailing for fiery Vulcan, the Salamanders are masters of flame.Blood Angels – Masters of rapid shock and awe assaults.Blood Ravens – A Chapter of unknown origins, the Blood Ravens search for knowledge.Iron Hands – Masters of technology and siege warfare.White Scars – Sons of the Steppes, the White Scars utilise speed to its utmost potential in battle.Raven Guard – Specialists in operating behind enemy lines, striking at vulnerable points.

See each Chapters entry for full information as to the differences.

ii) ClassesAvailable Classes are:

Tactical – the most versatile class, Tactical Marines can eventually specialise in styles of combat.Apothecary – Apothecaries are lightly armed compared to other Marines, but have useful abilities.Techmarine – Highly specialised Marines with exceptional abilities with machinery.Librarian – Librarians are Psychic Marines who have access to specialist abilities and equipment.Chaplain – Chaplains inspire troops around them and give bonuses to many other abilities.Brother Captain – Captains are experienced veterans who normally command entire companies.

See each Class entry for full information.

iii) Ability ScoresStrength – Used to determine melee weapon damage bonuses and sheer physical strength checks.Dexterity – Used to determine movement speed, reflexes and weapon accuracy.

Constitution – Used to determine how physically tough a character is.Intelligence – Used to determine a characters ability to use unfamiliar machines and equipmentWisdom – Used to determine a characters ability to resist and cast psychic effectsCharisma – Used to determine a characters natural leadership and social abilities.

All Space Marines start with their Strength, Dexterity and Constitution ability scores at 16.

Increasing statistics applies bonuses to various abilities, for every 2 points added an additional +1 bonus is added to any check requiring that statistic. Similarly, for every 2 points downwards (starting at 9) adds a -1 modifier. Strength:Strength is primarily used for melee combat checks and anything requiring a test of raw strength. For example, a bulkhead is closing with a force of 18 strength, enough that a normal human would be squished. You choose to run one of your characters into the gap and force it open before it shuts. Your character rolls a D20 and applies his strength modifier. If he beats 18 in total, then he forces the bulkhead to open, however if he matches 18 then he merely holds it in place and if he gets less than 18 he fails to stop it closing. In melee combat, strength is used to determine how much damage is done on a successful hit, as well as determine the speed and accuracy of certain types of melee weapons. This statistic is important for characters that wish to use heavy weaponry.

Dexterity:Dexterity could easily be regarded as the most important overall statistic as it applies to just about every physical action your character can make. Your initiative, reflexes and ability to use most light and medium weaponry is dependant on your Dexterity. Finally, under certain circumstances, the AC of your Armour can be affected by your Dexterity modifier.

Constitution:Constitution is used to determine how much health your character has, how resistant he is to poison and disease and how physically resistant to damage he is. For example, a basic human punching a space marine - even unarmoured – would have an extremely hard time to do any damage at all due to the space marine being simply too tough to damage.

To work out your starting health, roll a D20 + your constitution modifier, add the result to 10. With every level you gain an additional D20 + your constitution modifier hit points.

For example, at level 1 a Marine with 22 Constitution rolls a 15, gaining a total of 21. Adding this to 10 means he has a total of 31 hit points. When he hits level 2 he rolls another D20 and get 12. Gaining an additional 18 hit points.

This might seem like a completely obscene amount of hit points to those who are used to D&D, but when you see the weapon statistics, you'll understand why it's necessary.

Constitution also grants resistance to physical damage equivalent to the constitution modifier. For example, a Space Marine with Constitution 20 has a physical resistance of 5. This means he is impervious to melee damage from most weak creatures!

Intelligence:Intelligence is used primarily by techmarines to allow them to use and understand technology and modify equipment. It also determines the number of skills you can learn. Everyone may learn 2 skills, however for every additional +2 to your intelligence modifier, you may learn one more skill and one more language.

Wisdom:Wisdom is primarily used by Psykers to determine the power and level of their abilities, however all characters use it to determine their resistant to indirect psychic attacks. For example, a Pskyer hurls a bolt of lightning using his wisdom to determine the success of the attack, this is resolved as a normal damaging attack. Next turn, the Psyker uses an attack that attempts to slow down his target, however his targets wisdom allows him to resist the effect. Wisdom is important for Librarians and Chaplains.

Willpower also affects the total 'pool' of psychic energy that your Librarian has, see the Librarian entry for more details on how to calculate this amount.

Charisma:Charisma is used to determine how effective a character is at inspiring those around him and also in talking to others. A character with high charisma is more persuasive and automatically more well like and respected. Any character who wishes to be a convincing leader needs high charisma and so is important for Brother Captains and Chaplains.

When creating a new character, you have 16 points to spend on ability scores. There is no scaling, 1 point spent = 1 ability score. You cannot decrease any score to gain additional points. Finally, you may not put more than 8 points on any one score. An alternate method is to roll 6 D10’s and assign the resulting scores in the order they are rolled.

iv) SkillsThe number of skills you can learn is dependent on your intelligence. You can make skill checks on untrained skills, however you may not receive any bonuses from Ability Scores. Also, the DM may state that someone *must* be trained in a certain skill in order to perform certain tasks.

Skills fall under 4 categories: Research, Martial, Speechcraft and Survival.Research skills normally depend on intelligence and relate to the Marines personal knowledge of technology, the arcane and the workings of society.Martial skills provide a passive bonus to many combat scenarios, such as the ability to avoid traps, dodge explosions or stealthy attacks. They depend primarily on your physical abilities.Speechcraft skills affect how effective your character is at convincing other people to like you, or getting information from them. Survival skills assist the Marine in a wide range of ways, from setting traps, to scavenging weapons and ammunition, right through to gathering information about their surroundings. They have far more circumstancial abilities than the other skill areas.

Research Skills:Technology: Xenos – Using a combination of experience, judgement and his familiarity with the enemy, the Marine is able to use Alien Technology.Technology: Imperial – the ability to identify, use & repair Imperial technology. (INT)Technology: Exotic – the ability to identify custom, rare or otherwise unknown but Imperial Technology. (INT)Knowledge: Xenos – the ability to identify species of Aliens and related information. (INT)Knowledge: Biologis – the ability to identify and treat alien toxins, also to spot vulnerabilities. (INT)Knowledge: Arcanis – the ability to identify ancient technology, decipher ancient texts etc. (INT)

Martial Skills: Reflexive Dodge – The ability to dodge out of the way of charging opponents, or to evade the effects of explosions and traps. (DEX)Reflexive Parry – The ability to dodge sneak melee attacks. (DEX)Evade – The ability to evade surprise ranged attacks. (DEX)Momentum – The ability to charge through enemies, pushing them aside to reach your target. (STR)Parry – The ability to parry blows from targets of opportunity (Depends on equipped weapon Profile)

Speechcraft Skills:Diplomacy: Imperial – Used in communication with Imperial Citizenry, Military and other Agencies.(CHA)Diplomacy: Elite – Used in communication with the Inquisition, Mechanicus, Imperial Nobility and other Space Marine Chapters. (CHA)Intimidation – Used to threaten others into submission. (STR/CHA)Gather Information – Your ability to gather information from listening to conversations or noticing small details (CIRC)

v) FeatsFeats are special abilities which allow for bonuses in a range of disciplines. They fall into three categories, general, Chapter and class specific.

vi) InventoryWhen you create a character, you start with a DM-set amount of Wargear Points to spend on your initial equipment. Certain items are free, like standard Boltgun ammunition. Check the Wargear list for full inventory.

vii) Character Interaction and Exilement.Every Chapter has its own set of rules and regulations to adhere to. The majority of Chapters follow the rules and regulations set down in the Codex: Astartes. In the event that the player does something out of character for their characters chosen chapter, the DM may choose to Exile them. This has a similar effect to a Paladin falling out of alignment in D&D. The effects of Exilement may vary, depending on your Chapter (and the DM). See Chapter Details for more specifics.

3) Chapter Details.

i) The Ultramarines.The Ultramarines hail from the world of Macragge and were the 8th Legion founded by the Emperor. His son, the Primarch Roboute Guilliman, wrote the Codex: Astartes after the Horus Heresy which laid down the rules, tactics and philosophies that should govern every Space Marine Chapter. While not all Chapters adhere to it strictly, the Ultramarines take it as an almost Holy Doctrine by which to destroy His foes. Other Chapters may mock this strict discipline, however it cannot be denied that the Ultramarines are as feared a foe as any that exist in the Imperium. They are stalwart, practical, precise and efficient, with their Marines spending decades mastering their

craft and specific role within the Chapter.

Personality: An Ultramarine is the stereotype of a Space Marine. Honourable, Noble, Respectful, Authoritative and Diplomatic.

Exile: An Ultramarine Exile forfeits the use of all Ultramarine equipment, even their own, until they fulfil a Death Quest set by another Ultramarine to regain their honour. The difficulty of the Quest depends on the severity of the offence.

Ultramarine:Classes Available: All*Chapter Characteristics: +2 to all Diplomacy Skills. +2 to one Ability Score. Codex: Astartes. *An Ultramarine may multi-class to any other class. An Ultramarines Brother Captain also gains the abilities of a Tactical Marine as he levels up.Chapter Feats: Xenos Hatred: Tyranids – The character gains a +1 to hit, +1 to all damage and a +1 to his AC vs Tyranid creaturesAdherence to the Codex – Once per deployment, the character may rearrange the layout of friendly models in any combat encounter without suffering attacks of opportunity.Chapter Inventory:

ii) Imperial FistsThe Imperial Fists are the Imperium's masters of defence. The 7th Legion, they were charged with the fortification of the Imperial Palace prior to the siege made Horus and his traitor Legions. They also adhere to the Codex: Astartes in the same fashion as the Ultramarines, however they have their own approaches to combat discipline and many tactics. They require themselves to be extremely detailed in their planning and execution of strategies, however they tend to be a very somber, self-punishing group.

Personality: Imperial Fists tend to be quite gruff and blunt. They hold a high sense of duty and honour and will always do their duty to the law before any personal action.

Exile: A Exiled Imperial Fist still participates in combat, but as a sign of penance wears no armour until his honour is considered to be redeemed.

Available Classes: All*Chapter Characteristics: +2 to Constitution. +2 to all checks made using Heavy Weapons. Codex: Astartes. *Any class may multi-class to a Devastator Marine, Imperial Fist Tactical Marines may choose to be a Devastator Marine from level 1 rather than 2.Chapter Feats: Take Cover! - When behind cover of any sort, the character gains a +2 bonus to his ACFortifier – During deployments, the character can fortify any building or area, enemies approaching these areas are reduced to initiative 1 for the first round of combat.Chapter Armoury:

Iii) Dark AngelsThe Dark Angels are amongst the most experienced Xeno hunters in the Imperium. From their floating, spaceborne Fortress Monestary called The Rock – the last piece of their destroyed homeworld, Caliban – they dispatch their elite Deathwing Kill-Teams to hunt down 'The Fallen'. The history of Caliban holds a terrible secret, during the Horus Heresy fully half of their Chapter fell to Chaos, the resulting civil war destroying Caliban. The Rock, protected by powerful Void Shields, survived the destruction of the planet. Thousands of corrupted Dark Angels fled the destruction and have been hunted down over the past ten thousand years, the existence of the Fallen is one of the greatest kept secrets of the Imperium, no one apart from the upper echelon of the Chapter and the Deathwing Company know of their existence. Before the fall, the Dark Angels had their origins as a planet spanning knightly order dedicated to upholding peace and many of those cultural elements still exist today.

Personality: A Dark Angel tends to be quite quiet, observant and feels obliged to protect the honour of his Chapter unto his death. They are the perfect example of a medieval knight and would rather die than sully their honour.

Exile: A Dark Angel Exile may find himself hunted by members of his own Chapter unless he finds

a way to redeem himself.

Available classes: Tactical Marine, Apothecary, Chaplain*Chapter Characteristics: +2 to Charisma, +2 to Strength OR Dexterity, +2 to Gather Information, +2 to Knowledge: Xenos, Pistol Mastery: always able to carry and use two pistol class weapons.

iv) Space WolvesThe Space Wolves are regarded as the most barbaric of the loyal Space Marine Chapters. Not because they indulge in blood drinking rituals like the Flesh Tearers, or because of zealous self-flagellating behaviour like the Black Templars, but because they are little changed from their tribal, primitive culture even after becoming a Space Marine. Hailing from the Death World of Fenris, the Space Wolves are born into conflict. They learn to fight hard and take a beating from and early age.

Unlike the majority of other Chapters, the Space Wolves do not follow the Codex: Astartes with regards to their size and organisation, they have 12 Great Companies, each of which can range in size from 50 to several hundred marines.

Personality: Space Wolves are gruff, loud, always looking for a good fight and have little tolerance for what they might perceive as ‘cowardly’ actions.

Exile: An Exiled Space Wolf is doomed to become a member of the Wolfblade. He will be shunned by his brothers until his service is over. During this time he cannot communicate with other members of the Space Wolves and may be sent on near suicidal missions.

Available Classes: Tactical Marine*, Chaplain**, Brother Captain***.

* A Space Wolf Tactical Marine is known as a Grey Hunter and automatically start with the True Grit feat. Grey Hunter who becomes a Devastator Marine looses this feat but becomes a Long Fang. A Long Fang gains the ability: Pinpoint Target – The Long Fang may target a specific model once per Deployment, his next shot against that target is guaranteed to critically hit.** A Space Wolf Chaplain is known as a Wolf Priest and gains: Fang of Morkai – once per encounter, the Wolf Priest may designate a friendly model. That model may ignore the first damage it takes in the encounter.*** A Space Wolf Brother Captain is known as a Wolf Lord and gains the ability: Battle Howl – once per deployment the Wolf Lord grants all friendly models a +4 to hit for the next round. Chapter Characteristics: +2 Constitution, +2 Strength, -2 Intelligence. +4 to Senses checks. May not use Heavy Weapons until becoming a Devastator Marine.

v) SalamandersThe Salamanders are masters of flame, hailing from the fiery world of Vulkan they are no strangers to close range combat. While they follow the Codex: Astartes, the Promethian Cult encourages them to use Flamers and Meltas in combat, though symbols of the forge – anvils and hammers – are also prevalent throughout the Chapters Iconography.

Personality: Salamanders, like all Codex: Astartes marines, hold high a sense of honour and duty to the Chapter, though individually their personalities can vary greatly.

Exile: An Exiled Salamander cannot use any Flame-Based Weaponry for the duration of his Exile (set by DM).

Available Classes: Tactical Marine, Techmarine, Brother-Captain**A Salamanders Brother Captain’s Heroic Presence also deals 1+CHA modifier Fire Damage/Round to enemy models within 3 squares.Chapter Characteristics: +2 to one Ability Score, Resist: Fire 5.

vi) Blood AngelsThe Blood Angels are amongst the most iconic Chapters in the Imperium. They come from the planet of Baal, where they still recruit from the tribes of the moons of Baal Prime and Baal Secundus. While they adhere to the Codex Astartes, they are not the most strict of adherants. This is because they have large numbers of assault squads compared to their numbers of tactical squads. Preferring rapid strikes, the Blood Angels rely on speed and precision to hit their foes hard before they have a chance to react.

Personality: The Blood Angels can be arrogant and confident, preferring a straight-up fight up close to the stand-off tactics of other Chapters. Always willing to defend their Chapter, they will frequently challenge others to duels to settle matters of honour.

Exile: A Blood Angel who has become exiled may find himself at greater risk of succumbing to the Black Rage, if he survives long enough to redeem his honour then his brothers will welcome him

back.

Available Classes: Tactical Marine, Apothecary*, Chaplain**Chapter Characteristics: A Blood Angels Tactical Marine MUST specialise as an Assault Marine. +2 Dexterity, +2 Charisma. +4 to Momentum Checks, +2 to Will Saves.*A Blood Angels Apothecary is known as a Sanguinary Priest and gains the ability: Red Grail – The Apothecaries Narthecium always grants the target +1 to Hit for 2 rounds/charge.** A Blood Angels Chaplain also wears Death Company Armour and is Immune to Critical Hits.

Vii) Blood RavensThe Blood Ravens are possibly the most mysterious of Space Marine Chapters, they do not know who their Primarch was, they have no homeworld, but operate from a large fleet and consider the Battle-Barge Omnis Arcanum their Fortress-Monestary. Due to it's mysterious origins, the chapter is obsessed with the study and recovery of knowledge and artefacts, especially those that give hints as to their own history. The Chapter has a higher than normal number of psykers, including their Chapter Master. In terms of tactics and organisation, they follow the Codex Astartes, however it is not unprecidented for large numbers of librarians to be fielded as a battle group.

Personality: Guarded – the Blood Ravens history makes them very good at guarding knowledge. Because their recruitment worlds vary, the personalities of the Blood Ravens vary accordingly. However they do follow the Codex: Astartes and conduct themselves accordingly.

Exile: An Exiled Blood Raven forfeits access to his Chapters Libraries and History other than what he has already memorised. He may be redeemed by finding and bringing back an unusual piece of arcane lore.

Available Classes: Tactical Marine, Librarian*, Brother CaptainChapter Characteristics: +2 to Wisdom and Intelligence. Codex: Astartes. +4 to Knowledge: Arcane Checks.

Viii) Iron HandsThe Iron Hands number themselves amongst the best equipped Chapters that exist. Not because they have access to special equipment, but because their ability to connect to the Machine Spirit of whatever they use is unparalleled, only the Tech Priests of Mars know more about the secrets of the Omnissiah. The Iron Hands ritually replace parts of their bodies with augmetic parts. As their name suggests, when they first become elevated to being a Space Marine they replace their right hand with a prosthetic.

Personality: The Iron Hands venerate machinery. Their craggy, stoic demeanour reflects their homeworld.

Exile: An exiled Iron Hand must craft or repair a legendary item or find himself at odds with the Machine Spirit of many things he tries to use.

Classes Available: Tactical Marine, Apothecary, Techmarine*Chapter Characteristics: +2 to Intelligence, +4 to all Technology skills, +2 to Scavenge. +1 to all dice rolls when using any Space Marine or Imperial equipment (not weaponry).

ix) Raven GuardThe Raven Guard are a secretive chapter, there are rumours of extreme mutation in their geneseed, as some of their founding Chapters report bony spikes growing out of their bodies, or deformations after implanting the geneseed. These are only rumours, however. The Raven Guard rely on stealth and speed, striking from hidden locations and reaping a terrible tally amongst the enemy before they even know they are there.

Personality: Prone to angry outbursts, violent mood swings and general scepticism, the Raven Guard are not the friendliest of chapters. They will invariably take the practical route in dealing with their problems.

Exile: An Exiled Raven Guard must show that he is able to survive behind enemy lines without aid.

Available Classes: Tactical Marine*, Apothecary*, Brother Captain**All Raven Guard Classes are able to use a Single Lightning Claw without the Specialist Weapons Feat.Chapter Characteristics: +2 Dexterity, +4 to Scavenge, +2 to Momentum, +2 to Reflexive dodge.

ix) White ScarsThe White Scars combat doctrine takes a significant amount from their tribal heritage. They have roots in a nomadic almost Mongolian style of living and are the unequivocal masters of mechanised fast attack. While still following the Codex: Astartes, every White Scar Marine has skills and training that centre around the use of fast vehicles – bikes, attack bikes, rhinos and landspeeders etc. They were also the first to field the Land Raider Redeemer, using the speed and terrifying firepower of the Flamestorm Cannons to their greatest effect.

Personality: Much like the Space Wolves, the White Scars have a ‘noble savage’ aspect to them. They will never let a slight to their honour go unchallenged

Exile: An exiled White Scar must redeem his honour by killing a powerful enemy in single combat.

Available Classes: Tactical Marine, Apothecary, Techmarine, Brother Captain*Chapter Characteristics: +2 to Dexterity, +4 to Momentum Checks, +4 to all Technology: Astartes checks when attempting to drive/ride vehicles.*A White Scars Brother Captain is known as a Khan and automatically gains the Master of Melee feat.Chapter Feats:For The Khan!: Once per encounter, the Marine may make a charge attack that guarantees a critical hit.Fury of the Steppes: The Marine is exceptionally skilled at making moving attacks, when moving past an enemy he no longer takes attacks of opportunity, additionally if he does this while charging, he may make an attack of opportunity against every model he successfully charges past.

ii) Apothecary.

Apothecaries are the Medics of the Astartes. They have received additional, expert training in what makes a Space Marine into a Space Marine and know how to manipulate and regulate their bodily functions to increase healing, temporarily increase resistances and generally bolster a Marines metabolism.

While not on deployment, Apothecaries tend to the wounds of their brothers and perform augmetic re-constructural surgeries if necessary, replacing flesh with metal.

When on deployment, a unique piece of kit is added to the armour of an Apothecary – the

Narthecium. While this unit renders the Apothecary unable to use two-handed equipment, it more than makes up for this loss in abilities. Not only does the Narthecium contain all the medical equipment required to treat wounds in the field, including surgical blades, it also contains a unique weapon – the carnifex – used to administer the Emperor's Peace to a fatally wounded Marine.

The final and most important duty of an Apothecary is to retrieve the Geneseed from fallen Space Marines so that the legacy of their Chapter can continue. The recovered Geneseed can be implanted into a successful applicant, allowing for the creation of a new Space Marine.

Apothecaries may choose 3 skills to be trained in.

Apothecaries may use (as standard): 1 handed melee weapons, 1 handed ranged weapons, Power Armour.

Apothecaries may never use: 2 handed weapons, Terminator Armour, Heavy Weaponry.

Successful close combat attacks can reduce the targets Strength, Dexterity or Consitution by 2 (cumulative effect). The Apothecary must choose which ability to affect.

iii) TechmarineTechmarines are unique amongst all Space Marines as they hold an extra level of loyalty. First, to the Emperor, secondly, to the Chapter and finally to the Adeptus Mechanicus. After graduating to being a fully fledged Space Marine, Aspirants who have shown a particular aptitude with technology – an almost instinctive understanding of how to make small alterations to their equipment that makes it that little bit more accurate or reliable – are sent to spend time training with the Machine Cultists of Mars, the Adeptus Mechanicus. When they return to the Chapter, their armour bears the mark of the Mechanicus – the Skull & Cog symbol of the Omnissiah and the distinctive rust-red trim that reflects the red robes of the Techpriests themselves.

In addition to now being fully trained to repair, create, modify and use Space Marine equipment and vehicles, some Techpriests spend months, if not years adding subtle additions to their own armour and weapons. These subtle alterations can lead to some spectacular benefits.

In addition to his normal weaponry, the Techpriest also has a mechanical arm, known as a Mechadendrite, which extends from his backpack unit and can be used to finely manipulate objects, as well as giving him a extra limb with which to strike in close combat.

Techmarines may choose 3 skills to be trained in.

Techmarines may never use: Heavy Ranged Weaponry, Terminator Armour.

A Techmarine is always equipped with: MechadentriteThe Mechadentrite is a mechanical limb which grants the following abilities:

Omnissiah's Grace: Reroll a failed Technology Check.

Omnissiah's Wrath: Using his intelligence as a modifier, the Techmarine can direct his Mechadentrite to attack his foe. This attack counts as a Power Fist and can be directed at a separate target other than the one the Techmarine himself is attacking.

Class Feats:

Craftsman: The Techmarine is capable of making his own weaponry and equipment. When not on deployment, the Techmarine can spend time creating new equipment for himself or others, this can include exotic or legendary weaponry. Tell the DM what you wish to try to create and they will give you time and cost/parts required. (e.g You may wish to make a Nemesis Sword similar to those the Grey Knights use, you would need a Force Sword and a Relic Power Sword etc etc)

Servitor Controller: The Techmarine can control an additional Servitor

Engineer: The Techmarine is a master of Salvage and Repair. Broken or Damaged Wargear that is discovered can be tagged for retrieval and repaired when not on Deployment.

iv) Librarian.Librarians are unique amongst Space Marines as they are able to channel the etheric power of the Warp with their minds. Drawn from Aspirants who exhibit psychic potential, they join the Ordo Psykana and spend decades honing their minds and learning methods of manipulating the Warp to unleash vast swathes of destruction or teleport around the battlefield.

Librarians also have access to specialised equipment, aside from the normal access to the Astartes Inventory, they also use weaponry and equipment designed to help them focus their minds, and protect them from the potentially lethal effects of the powers they use.

The Psychic Hood is an alteration to the armour of a Librarian. It surrounds and links to the Librarians head, allowing him to store psychic energy and also provide a buffer so that if the Warp strikes back he is not killed!

Librarians also have access to custom made Force Weaponry, coming in the standard patterns of Sword, Axe and Staff. The legendary Grey Knights make use of Nemesis Force Weaponry which comes in other forms – Hammers and great Halberds – however such items are extremely rare.

Force Weaponry allows the Librarian to channel his psychic might into each blow, or project it further and stronger.

Librarians have a limited amount of energy, called Willpower, that they can use to cast their magicks, the amount they have is calculated by:

Wisdom + D10x Wisdom Modifier. Every level add an additional D10 + Wisdom Modifier.e.g:

The Librarian at level 1 has Wisdom 18, he has a +4 modifier. He rolls a 6 on his D10 roll so has a total Willpower pool of 42At level 2 he rolls an 8, gaining an additional 12 willpower.

Willpower regenerates when not in combat

Librarians may choose 4 skills to be trained in.

A Librarian starts with the following equipment: Psychic Hood and either a Force Staff, Force Sword or Force Axe.

A Librarian may never use heavy weaponry, specialist-class melee or ranged weaponry. (Is excluded from taking the Specialist Weaponry feats).

A Librarian starts with the following abilities:

Cast Spell: The Librarian taps into his knowledge of the Warp to cast a spell from his repertoire.Willpower cost: Varies.

Force Blow: The Librarian channels his will into his weapon. When making a melee attack you may add the following effects (cumulative) before rolling to hit.1) Sure Blow: Add +1 to your to hit roll – 10 Willpower2) Cleaving: Opponent suffers -1 AC – 10 Willpower3) Sunder Mind: Opponent is stunned for 1 round – 10 Willpower4) Sunder Flesh: Opponent suffers and additional D6 damage – 10 WillpowerFor example, I use 70 willpower and gain a +3 to hit, +3D6 damage and stun my opponent for 1 round.

iv) ChaplainChaplains are fearsome warriors who are taken from the most devout, most zealous aspirants. They are typically those who bolster the resolve of those that serve with them, encourage and inspire them. The Chaplains typically do not lead men into combat, usually a Chaplain is seconded to a particular company and answers to the Commander leading it, however in exceptional circumstances it is possible for a Chaplain to lead a Company into battle, should there be an absence of other Commanders. Their armour is painted black, and they wear a unique, skull faced helmet.

Chaplains look after the spiritual well being of the Chapter, guiding the Marines towards the will of the Emperor and erasing any doubts they have about the purpose of their missions.

Chaplains are feared in close combat, their symbol of office and main weapon is the Crozius Arcanum, an eagle topped single handed weapon which can cleave through the enemy with little effort. Adding this potent weapon to the righteous fury of a Chaplain makes him a force to be reckoned with by any opponent.

Additionally, the ancient technology inside the Crozius protects the Chaplain from damage that would otherwise be considered lethal. Plasma or Power Weaponry that would normally easily cleave through armour is turned aside by this blessing of the Emperor.

Chaplains may choose 2 skills to be trained in.

Chaplains may never use: Medium or Heavy Ranged Weaponry, Specialist Weaponry.

A Chaplain starts with: Crozius Arcanum, Chaplain Armour.Crozius Arcanum: The Crozius negates the effect of lethal blows. The Chaplain is immune to Melee Criticals. A Crozius can come in several patterns, however a Chaplain may only ever choose one type of Pattern to use. See the entry in the Wargear Section for more details.

Chaplain Armour: The sight of a chaplain in combat inspires nearby men. Anyone in close combat in a square adjacent to the Chaplain gains the Chaplains CHA modifier as an additional to hit bonus.

v) Brother CaptainEvery so often, a Marine will show exceptional leadership abilities and after at least a century of service to another Commander, he may be elected to lead the Company should that commander fall in battle.

They inspire men around them with their sheer presence, command the battlefield with their skills and can reap a fearsome tally against the enemy. Brother Captains sometimes have a millennium of experience at their disposal. This experience is by far their greatest asset.

Upon elevation to the rank of Brother Captain, the Marine is presented with the Iron Halo. The Iron Halo protects the Brother Captain from many forms of damage, including those that would instantly kill him otherwise.

Brother Captains may choose 3 skills to be trained in.

Exotic Weaponry:

The following is a basic guideline for the creation of exotic melee weaponry:

Step 1) Describe what the weapon is. (e.g it’s a double headed two handed power chain axe)Step 2) What other properties does it have (e.g it has a teleporter in the handle and will return to me if I throw it or drop it).Step 3) Think of the component parts (e.g chain axes x2, power axe, 2 handed shaft, teleport homer).Step 4) Balance out the cost (1 chain axe, 1 chain axes head, 1 power axe, amalgamate haft from all 3, 2 teleport homers = 170 Wargear – or free if they already have the parts).

Remember that technically speaking dismantling a weapon would be of great affront to the people who used it before you and also to the machine spirit of the weapon, so depending on your DM, you might find the created weapon somewhat… fickle. Ideally, new weapons should be made from salvaged broken ones.

In terms of types of weaponry, I would recommend using standard medieval patterns:Broadsword (heavier Longsword, relies more on STR than DEX), Mace, Maul, Flail, Halberd, Greataxes etc etc etc. Get creative.
