General Strike Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I've been thinking that I want to run a RPG-esque campaign at my buddies new game shop once this is all over. I was hoping to get some help making this work. We would use the basic 40k rules, but I want to make characters much harder to kill. Each person would play as one character, and I would be the enemies. How would you guys make characters tougher, and what are some cool abilities they can unlock as the game goes on?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Allow a character to double their Strength and number of Attacks for one Turn, reducing their Strength to 2 and number of Attacks to 1 the subsequent Turn- or removing one Wound- as the consequences of using combat drugs and/or a Primaris Marine's Belisarian Furnace? (I proposed the same when I created my own Special Characters for a homemade Codex supplement.)

tychobi Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I would not go too ham. Captain stats with a little support could work fine. Possibly a few extra wounds, but let a power fist be scary. It should be! A down but not out rule at 0 wounds similar to kill team would go a long way to keeping players around even with high damage weapons. Chaos dread boss fight I can see it now!

Taking inspiration from the Hitman computer game, let's restore all the Character's Attacks when he reaches 0 Wounds; if this Character successfully kills an enemy in this state, then 1 Wound will be restored to him, as a reward for being Too Stubborn To Die. If there are two opposing Characters with this Special Rule, have each Player roll dice, with the Character of the Player who rolled a higher number being the one for whom this Special Rule activates?
