#1: You MUST take the Guardsman career.
#2: You may roll for attributes (roll in this thread) and assign your results between the 9 of them at will (you are entitled to one reroll as usual), or take a 110 point buy with diminishing returns as follows:
+2-10 to an Attribute (each attribute point in this range costs 1 point)
+11-15 to an Attribute (each attribute point in this range costs 2 points)
+15-20 to an Attribute (each attribute point in this range costs 4 points)
Further, double the modified point cost for every attribute point that's a multiple of 5 beyond the first 10 for all non-WS, BS, Per and Fel attributes.
So maxing a non-WS/BS/Per/Fel attribute for example costs 46 points:
First 10 = 10 points (1x10)
Next 4 = 8 points (2x4)
15 = 4 points (2x2x1)
Next 4 = 16 points (4x4)
20 = 8 points (4x2x1)
Note that you cannot increase an attribute by less than 2, nor increase it by more than 20.
#3: Toughness attribute advance progression is as follows:
#4: You start with 400 XP. The Guard rank allows for the purchase of the Medicae skill for 200 XP (subsequent Medicae advances taken allot +10 each).
#5: Your starting gear, standard issue, is as follows:
Weapons:
#6: All Lasguns respect the following ruleset:
#7: Max Fate Points; you will need them. Wounds are equal to your homeworld's base amount, plus your Toughness bonus; you do not roll for Wounds.
#8: You may roll or choose everything else as you will, except for Divinations, Insanity and Corruption Points.
#9: Backstory, and profile of your character are necessary.
#10: Wounds to the head are doubled after applying all other modifiers (such as Toughness, Armour, Refractor Fields, etc...). Wounds to the arms and legs are halved (round up) after applying all other modifiers.
#11: Armour functions as per this rule supplement: http://www.darkreign40k.com/house-rules/reasonably-realistic-armour-and-cover-degradation-rules.html
#12: I'm going to allot de facto properties for kneeling/going prone:
Half Action from/to standing, Half Action from/to Prone.
Leap Up talent allows you to move from Kneeling to Standing as a Free Action
You may make an Easy (+20) Acrobatics Test to move to/from Kneeling to Prone or Standing as a Free Action. Failure means you waste a Half Action to no effect.
+5 to BS tests, -10 to WS tests.
Count as one size category less (e.g Medium counts as Scrawny (-10)) vs ranged attacks made against you from beyond Point Blank range.
-1 damage to all blast damage received, if not in point of origin.
-10 to Agility tests (Acrobatics Tests to move from Kneeling to Standing or Prone is unaffected by this modifier).
Cannot Run or Charge.
Movement rates and leap distances while Kneeling are divided by 2 (round up).
As part of a Dodge reaction, you may go into a Kneeling position.
Full Action from/to standing, Half Action from/to Kneeling.
Leap Up talent allows you to move from Prone to Standing as a Free Action
You may make a Challenging (+0) Acrobatics Test to move to/from Prone to Kneeling or Standing as a Free Action. Failure means you waste a Half Action to no effect.
+10 to BS tests, -20 to WS tests, Heavy weapons count as Braced.
Count as two size categories less (e.g Medium counts as Puny (-20)) vs ranged attacks made against you from beyond Point Blank range.
Blast damage divided by 2 (rounded down) if not in point of origin.
-30 to Agility tests (Acrobatics Tests to move from Prone to Standing or Kneeling is unaffected by this modifier).
Cannot Run, Charge or Leap.
Movement rates while Prone are divided by 4 (rounded up).
As part of a Dodge reaction, you may go into a Prone position.
