Warhammer Quest

FAQ-Rejected

John K. - May 2003 - V1.1

In most games, I could be considered a "rules-lawyer"; = but not=20 this one. There are too many inconsistencies between the rules, cards = and=20 expansions. I developed the Armory to make armor more consistent = between=20 the book and the characters. There are times when one has to replace = weapons and=20 armor such as Events and Vomit from Trolls. Here I've listed some of the = ways I=20 run the characters in the Advanced Game that differ from the official = FAQ=20 provided by Games Workshop.

For the Basic game, the character that comes away with = the most=20 treasure is the winner. If you run it as an RPG, the GM is the boss, = even of the=20 rules for your character! However, in the Advanced Game all the players = are=20 working together. My final judgement in the last case is it's your time = and your=20 character, so play it how it best works for you.

ALL WARRIORS:
FAQ: Warriors cannot lose the = equipment or=20 items on their cards through hazards/settlement events.
I say: = If a=20 Warrior has to lose a weapon or armor, they must do so. There are = several=20 instances where this may occur in Adventures and Events.
I = say:=20 Warriors must declare potions of Strength before rolling To-hit. =
I=20 say: Warriors who heal others, also get 5 gold per Wound, like the = Wizard.=20

BARBARIAN:
I say: The Barbarian's Furs can break (see my=20 Armory).

DWARF WARRIOR:
FAQ: GW says The Great Axe = allows=20 the Dwarf to roll an extra dice with special rules listed on the = card.
I=20 say: The Great Axe is just a normal Axe from the = Weaponsmith.
I=20 say: The Dwarf has the skill, Double Effort, which allows him = to roll=20 an extra damage dice, throwing out the lowest die. If it is doubles he = uses all=20 dice. However, if it is double ones, he falls on his beard, losing a = turn, and=20 is at +2 to be hit.
Note: The odds of rolling "Trip on Beard"=20 increases with more Damage Dice.
I say: An experienced = Dwarf=20 shouldn't be more likely to trip. Therefore, roll the extra dice = separately (use=20 a different size or color). Only doubles that include the special dice = now count=20 for either tripping or extra damage. You still get to use the special = dice if it=20 is not the lowest.

Odds of Tripping	2 dice	3 dice	4 dice	5 dice
Original Rolls	1/36	2.8%	16/216	7.4%	171/1296	13.2%	1526/7776	19.6%
Separate Die	1/36	2.8%	11/216	5.1%	125/1296	9.6%	671/7776	8.6%

I say: The Dwarf can get = replacement=20 Chainmail at the Armourer (see my Armory).

ELF / ELF ARCHER:
FAQ: The Elf starts with a Strength 3 Bow = that=20 allows 1 shot per turn.
I say: The Elf starts with an Elf Bow, = which=20 has the Strength of the Wielder.
I say: The Elf is really an = ELF=20 ARCHER with the Hunter's Eye Skill (# of shots =3D number of=20 Attacks).
FAQ: All Bows on Treasure cards do not have the = abilities of=20 the Elf Bow from the Elf Quarter. They count as one-shot Long Bows ST 4, = unless=20 otherwise stated.
I say: All Bows on Treasure cards (being of = Elven=20 origin) are Elf Bows, which use the Strength of the wielder = unless=20 otherwise specified on the card (Bow of Loren says (BL)D6 Wounds = +3).
I=20 say: A non-Elf who uses an Elf Bow treasure card, gets one shot per = turn=20 (unless the Barbarian has Hunter's Eye) at full Strength.
I don't=20 know: Should the Elf Bow allow as many shots per turn as attacks for = all=20 Elves: Elf Archer, Elf Ranger Knight, Elf Ranger Mage and Elf Wardancer? = I=20 haven't seen the official rules for Elf Rangers, but the Ballistic Skill = of the=20 Wardancer is so poor as to discourage the use of missile weapons.
I = say: If=20 the Elf Archer rolls an 8 for skills, he can choose Battle Lord, from = the Ranger=20 skill list, instead.
I say: If the Elf Archer rolls an 11 for skills, = he can=20 choose Flame of Vengeance, from the Ranger skill list, instead.

ELF RANGER MAGE:
I say: Scale Mail is Elven Armor (+1T) = that=20 ignores 1's and 2's on enemy damage dice.
Rule: Power tokens = for the=20 mage act to add +1 each to the result of the to-cast die roll.
I = say:=20 I agree; therefore, the Elf Ranger Mage should start with 1D6 points of = personal=20 Power.
Rule: The to-cast number for Power roll of 6 is = 1; yet a=20 roll of 1 is an automatic failure.
I say: When the Power roll = is 6,=20 to-cast is A, an automatic success.

WIZARD:
Rule: The Wizard can only cast an Attack = Spell=20 during the Warriors' Phase.
I say: The Wizard can only cast an = Attack=20 Spell during the Wizard's turn in the Warriors' Phase.
I say: = When the=20 Wizard gets to Battle Level 4 he gains Magic Resistance 6+, 5+ at Battle = Level=20 8.

DWARF TROLLSLAYER:
I say: The level-one Slayer's = special=20 skill for increasing strength (which I call Detect Weakness) = should be=20 one less than for a level-two Trollslayer.=20

BL		Modified Strength
1	Slayer	6
2-3	Trollslayer	7
4-6	Giantslayer	8
7-9	Dragonslayer	9
10	Daemonslayer	10

Rule: Trollslayer never uses the Escape Table....He takes the = lantern=20 and carries on alone.
I Say: The Trollslayer should either = have his=20 own lantern, or the Warriors can knock him out and drag him out of the=20 dungeon.
Rule: If possible, the Trollslayer always engages the = largest=20 Monster in hand-to-hand combat.
I Say: If you use this rule, = you=20 should get some bonus experience (5 Experience/Attack, regardless of = whether it=20 hits!) when you attack the strongest Monster on the board instead of a = weaker=20 one.

ELF RANGER KNIGHT:
Rule: The Elf Ranger starts with Scale = Mail (+1=20 Toughness).
I Say: This is the same as Elven Armor (+1 = Toughness,=20 ignores 1's and 2's from enemy Damage dice; see my Armory).

WARDANCER:
I Say: The Wardancer can purchase a new Belt of = Ariel at=20 the Wood Elf Traders.
Rule: The Twin Swords of Orion can allow = a=20 death-blow to carry past an obstacle by switching hands to the other = Sword. This=20 feature cannot be used with other weapons.
I Say: If one of = his=20 weapons is a Sword of Orion, he can hold any one-handed sword in the = other hand=20 and still use this ability.

WITCH HUNTER:
Rule: The = Witch=20 Hunter starts with a Strength 5 Pistol.
I say: The Witch = Hunter starts=20 with a Strength 6 Pistol like that of the Imperial Noble and = Gunsmith.
I=20 say: The Witch Hunter may buy a Gorget (+1T) at the Witch Hunter's = Guild for=20 350 Gold.
I say: The Gorget also reduces Deathleap of Giant = Rat to=20 1D6+2, and prevents Vampire Bite. If another character wears a Gorget, = it=20 provides this ability but does not give +1 Toughness.
I say: = The Witch=20 Hunter may replace his Saber (+1W on a 6 to hit) at the Weaponsmith for = 300=20 Gold.
I say: The Witch Hunter can use his faith to increase = his own=20 rolls for Damage and To-hit after the dice have been rolled, unless = To-hit is a=20 natural 1. However, Faith is used for Magic Resistance or Battle of = Wills before=20 rolling.
I say: The Witch Hunter must declare his Amulet of = Strength=20 before rolling To-hit.
Note: Some Amulets from Treasure Cards = have the=20 same names as those in the WH book, but different abilities.
I = say:=20 When the Witch Hunter finds Amulets from Treasure Cards or Tables, = they have=20 charges like his own:

Amulet of Charadris card	Blocks all Undead Regeneration when used by = Witch=20 Hunters
Amulet of Fury card	No need to roll for spell success by a Witch = Hunter.
Amulet of Power card	Doesn't explode for Witch Hunters.
Amulet of Vindication	Roll for Magic Resistance; each success counts as = one=20 charge (same for #4 on p10 of WH manual).
Enchanted Jade Amulet	Roll for healing; instead of exploding for Witch = Hunters,=20 a 1 spends a charge.

ELF QUARTER:
I say: The Elf Rope can be used by any good = Warrior=20 (If used for a Chaos Warrior or Ogre it automatically breaks).
I = say:=20 The Elf Potion may be purchased here for 1000 gold with a Stock of = 5.

DWARF GUILDMASTERS:
I say: A Dwarf or Trollslayer may = purchase the=20 Dwarf Pick (see Treasure Card) for 125 gold at a Stock of 4.

I say: Flash Powder can only confuse a Monster=20 once.
Example:
Dwarf throws Flash Powder at Orcs with = Swords; all=20 Warriors get +1 Attack.
Next turn Power Roll =3D 1; Orc Archers = appear.=20 Dwarf throws Flash Powder. Warriors who attack the Archers get +1 = Attack.=20 Warriors who attack the Orcs with Swords do not.

DWARF RUNESMITH:
I say: Once an Axe has a rune, treat it as = magical=20 (for Ethereal and Daemonic). When a 1 is rolled on the table, this = counts as the=20 Trollslayer's +1 ST rune.

WIZARDS' GUILD:
I say: A Wizard can replace his Hand of = Death=20 Scroll for 900 Gold. Limit one per Wizard.
I say: Add the = following=20 spell to the Spell List:
Deflection - Defensive - Immediate - Casting = No:=20 1
The Wizard may cast it on himself once per turn. All ballistic = weapon=20 attacks against him that turn are at -1 to hit. But, a natural 6 is = still a=20 hit..

TRAINING GROUNDS:
Rule: To find a special location score a = 7 with=20 2D6 in a town, or 3D6 in a city.
I say: Even if you use this = rule,=20 you do not have to roll to find a place to level-up when you have the = correct=20 amount to spend (consider part of your cost as finding the place).
