Berevius_the_Justifier Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 When comming up with traits am I restricted to the CODEX:SM Traits and Drawbacks or can I get traits from other CODEX's providing I use their Geneseed for the DIY Chapter? Ex. Vet Assualt Marines from the BA CODEX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 If you use the Codex: SM, you can only go full codex or Trait system, you may not use any other codex. Gene-seed has no effect on rules. Ferrata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 You can do either one or the other, but you can't combine the two options. Of course you don't have to be a successor to a Chapter to use their rules (Although it makes sense in a lot of cases, like the Blood Angels), but you should make sure you tell people so they know. Or you could use the traits to custom-tailor a Chapter, if none of the others suit you. Such as if you wanted to do a Chapter like the Blood Angels that has a lot of close combat elements, but you don't want a Death Company or you don't want to have to deal with the Black Rage, you could develop a Chapter with traits like Take the Fight to Them, No Mercy No Respite, or Blessed Be the Warriors. However, you couldn't do something like take the Blood Angels then give them a trait from the Codex: Space Marines ontop of their normal rules. Aside from that, you're pretty much free to do what you want. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
