These stats would be a guideline for what a character is capable and you would be able to look at that to decide if a character is capable of what they want to do.

Allow players to take up to 3 items at the beginning of the game (Weapons, Armor, etc), one of them must be a personal item (Family crest, heirloom, gift). None of these items may have magic properties (At least not that the player/character knows about. You can always give it something to add to the story with) All players are assumed to have basic supplies (Backpack, sleep roll, flint & steel, change of clothes, basic hinting gear, etc)

Vampire: No matter how hard you try, people know there is something not quite right about you. You need to feed your bloodlust at least once every two days, you will be -1 to your Ld every day you are over due for a feeding.

Raising Ld from 9 to 10 would cost 10. *Note* There would have to be a good reason to increase some skills (Storytellers discretion) Obviously its going to be hard to raise a Dwarfs Move rating. New Special Rules may be taken at the cost of 2exp if you have a teacher to learn the ability from or 5exp if you have to learn it on your own. Spells are purchased in the same way and must be bought in the order they are listed in the core book.

Special Rules:
Slayer, Slayers Axe, Unbreakable

Backstory
At a young age, Logans village was brutally attacked without warning. By the time a merchant came to the village 4 days later there was nothing left but bloated bodies, smoldering ashes, and a small child, holding an axe bigger than he was, still standing guard over his dead mother. The merchants guards started the grim task of burrying the dead while the merchant wrapped the half starved child in a blanket. Once the dead were burried, one of the guards returned to the wagon with three items. The first was the neclace Logans mother had been wearing. The second was a ornate pair of Mythral Bracers. And the third was the large Axe the boy had been holding. For the next few years the merchant raised the boy as a son.

Upon coming of age, Logan started to travel on his own, seeking out battle wherever it could be found. If no battle was to be found, he would sometimes sign on to help guard a caravan of traveling merchants. Logan ThunderAxe has become known for both his simple acts of kindness and his fearlessness on the battlefield.

Description
Logan is tall for a dwarf, standing several inches taller than most. His orange beard is carefully seperated into three simple braids, his hair on his head is cut short. His green eyes are hard. To this day he wears his mothers bracers and carries the massive axe he was found holding as a child. His mothers neclace hangs around his neck to this day, a simple rune inscribed on its surface. Being raised by a merchant for much of his childhood has turned him into something of a packrat, always looking for small items that can be sold or traded.

Thrill me her what does the necklace have on it?

Son Of Khaine

A faded rune, so faded that no one has ever been able to read it. Its his most valued posession because it was something that his mother treasured.

MWAHHHA I have an Idea for a plot line......

LOL, should I be scared?

Heavily armed and armored he can take on any single opponent and stand a large chance of surviving,

Skalf Ironaxe
M 3
WS 5 (+1)
BS 4 (+1)
S 4 (+1)
T 4 (+1)
W 4 (+3)
I 2
A 2 (+1)
LD 9

Equipment
Giant Axe(great weapon), Gromril Armour, Pistol, Homemade Brew, Backpack, sleep roll, flint & steel, change of clothes, basic hunting gear.

Special Rules/Skills
Scounting (+1), Brewing(+1)


Background
Skalf once used to be one of the brave Rangers that roamed the surface world,protecting their strongholds. As a Ranger of Karaz-a-Karak he had to be on the lookout for many creatures. He and his kin won every battle until the last day of Skalf's career. That day a massive Orc army had been spotted, and when running back to report the attack they surrounded his unit and 4 others. Him and 2 others survived that day, no one else. Now, retired Skalf Ironaxe owns his own pub and makes one of the most known ales in Karaz-a-Karak, but he still remembers the old days and still want payback on those orcs that destroyed his kin, and maybe some fun along the way.

Description
Skalf is the average size of a dwarf with a long grey beard in a very tangled mess. His skills are a litttle rusty but he still has it in him. I guess he's like a Longbeard Ranger you could say. His son is a skilled Quarreller so he knows his way around a crossbow. Maybe we can have another character nudge Skalf out of retirement?

Background
Being that his father was a legendary Ranger Fremnir always wanted to be a Warrior to try to be like his dad. He tried on three occasions to be part of a kin of warriors he failed, but being good at a crossbow he tried for a quarreller position and succeeded. Now somewhat of a warrior he is always trying to impress his father, and always trying to become legendary himself.

Description
Fremnir is a very skinny dwarf with a small light brown beard. He doesn't have a strong appetite but as a strong drinker, he can fill up on his father's ale as well as he can shoot a crossbow. He is a little taller than his father but comes up to a man's torso in full stature.

Nice job there thepowner238,so he's a melee fighter?

Ld 9

Characters Gear:
Dwarf Axe, Dwarf Long Rifle, A Large assortment of tools,VERY thick glasses, Backpack, Bedroll, Flint & Steel.

Special Rules:
Engineer, Marksman, Ride

Backstory
Hellen has a relatively happy childhood. She was always working on some little machine for fun. She married young, quickly became pregnant and bore twin sons. With two toddlers skampering about their home and a third child on its way, life was everything she ever hoped it would be. Little did she know that her husband Theodore BlackHorn had discovered a spark of Magic in himself, secretly learning the ways of magic from one a creature of Chaos in the dungeon he worked in. After several months, the creature had twisted Theodores mind enough to escape. Telling Theodore to take his twin sons and seek out the Chaos Dwarfs, they both fled the city long before anyone suspected anything. Ofter months of searching there was still no sign of where her husband and sons had gone. Heartbroken, Hellen gave birth to a sickly baby girl who she raised by herself. Over the years, Hellens heartbreak turned to furry and once her fragile daughter was married to a kindly young lord, she set out to find her husband and sons.

Several years later, during Hellens travels she came across a young bear, captured in a trap, its front paw badly mangled by the cruel device. Thinking nothing of the risks, she released the bear and tended to its wounds as best she could. She quickly realized the wounds were far beyond her ability to tend to, so she built a littler to carry the animal to a nearby town. The paw was amputated, and Hellen built a mechanical replacement while the bear healed. After releasing the bear, she resumed her search. Three days later, she woke to find the bear sleeping at her feet. That day she named him Oden.

Almost a decade later, the bear has grown into a mighty ally, faithfully standing at her side in any battle. When she visits her Daughter, her first Grandson giggles with glee when he sees Hellens approach, riding the Great Bear. Her daughter often asks her to give up her quest, but Hellen refuses to let it go, knowing in her heart that she must some day either redeem her Sons and Husband, . . . or kill them.

Description
Hellen is a plump little woman, her long black hair peppered with grey. She wears thick glasses, with several extra lenses that can slide into place to help improve her vision. Her clothes are usually dirty and tattered, stained as much from her travel as from the oils and chemicals she carries. She obsesses over any puzzle or broken thing she comes across, often stopping in the middle of a thought to repair something that dosnt seem to be working right, even if that object isnt hers. She is absent minded and often a bit too blunt when speaking with others. She is fond of saying "If I cant fix it, its not broken yet!"

Oden is a Great Bear, his brown fur is surprisingly clean considering who he travels with. He seems to understand most of what Hellen says and displays remarkable intelligence for an animal. He wears a specially made saddle/harness so Hellen can ride him. The Mechanical paw Hellen built for him needs constant maintenence, and sometimes malfunctions at very inopertune times, . . .

Backstory:
When he was a young boy Johann explored the sink holes around his parents farm. When he was older he began to explore caves. Then one day, as he explored deeper than he ever had before, the ground collapsed beneath him and he found himself captured by the rat men known as Skaven. He was forced to toil for them in underground mines for several months before he was freed during an attack by dwarfs. He fled from the tattooed, dual axe wielding madmen and eventually found his way back to the surface. But he was still fascinated by what he had seen underground. and so spent his time since exploring this land below the one most humans knew.

Description:
Johann is a short stocky man, with a full beard under a pale face. he has bright blue eyes and a piercing gaze. he is constantly alert. His time under ground, where death can be just in front of a man's face, has tuned his senses and reactions. He respects the dwarfs who delve underground and is amazed by their work. He hates the skaven but can't help but respect their underground workings as well. His clothing is dark, his blades are dull but razor sharp.

So he's kind of a cross between witch hunter and hate to say it but ninja?

I was thinking more like the rat catcher from the RPG.
I probably should have emphasised more that he is dirty and rugged looking but keeps his equipment (his livelihood) in good condition.
