Hello there fellow Warhammer Enthusiasts.

Don't like the current Special Characters? Ever wanted to personalize your own General? Want to add a new level of tactics to your games? Then this is for you.

These rules are designed so that you can create almost ay character that you can conceive, from a simple Goblin Warboss who causes Fear, to the Great Necromancer Nagash himself and anything in between. Not only can you custom-make your own Special Character, but you can also design his Monster Mount, or have him borne to battle by trusted Shield Bearers or upon a Throne. You can also give your Special Character a Follower, or a Pet.

The rules here are still under construction, and any and all comments that you have are more than welcome. Feel free to play test them as much as you want, and once there is some consensus as to the over-all balance of the rules-set, then I will be sending the whole system in to the Warhammer Chronicles, with special mention of those of you who have been the greatest help. (Plus special mention of the Forum Community as a whole).

Please note that the .zip file contains files written in .doc format for Microsoft Word, and that there may be regular updates of this .zip file as the need arises (eg fixing spelling errors, clarifying rules, adding/subtracting rules and so forth).

Overall, have fun designing your own personalized Special Characters, and Happy Gaming.

Cheers,

Karl Guethert (aka Goofycabal)

Email comments and suggestions to guethert@hotmail.com. Since these are still trial rules, I want to make sure that they are not exploitable in a gross manner. If you find anything that you think might seem too overpowered (eg a combination of Special Abilities) or under-priced, then make sure to let me know. I want these rules to become as balanced and as fun as possible.
