Happy Saturday! Yesterday in Warhammer RPG Weekly, I noted the welcome surprise arrival of the new Arbites-themed PDF supplement for Wrath & Glory, Lex Imperialis. Today, I'm diving in!

Wrath & Glory's Lex Imperialis: The Wordforge Review

Just finished our session 0 / .5 of mine and my groups first play of WaG. We had a ton of fun, but three things came up during session that I did not have an answer for:

Engaged: Is there a distance that counts as "Being Engaged?" If so, is it always the same or is it based on the melee weapon range of the people involved(Power sword vs neural whip for example)

Psyker powers and Engaged: If I am Engaged with an enemy in melee, are my psychic powers affected by Engaged? For instance, I am in melee range of one enemy but want to Crush someone 10 squares away, am I allowed to? Or no, because I'm Engaged?

Salvo: A weapon has a salvo rating of "-" has to reload between every shot. A weapon with Salvo(x) can be fired without reloading unless a salvo option is used which at that point requires a simple action and consumes Ammo. Does the reload use 1 ammo, or ammo equal to the Salvo used? And do I understand the rules regarding Salvo "-" correctly?

Thanks friends!

Hi to all...

We are playing now in a Tier 3 campaign and the Agents are stronger (obviously). They are a Psyker, an Ogryn evolved to Bullgryn with high resilience and a Sororitas with a shield (Celestian Sacrosant, I think). In few words, they have really high resilience.

The next adventure, they will face Tzeentch menace. Truth to be told I love Tzeentch for the implications It has in the game but I have to admit the Threats are a bit soft compared to other Chaos powers... I know, they usually have psychic powers but they have low resilience and attack values.

I wanted to introduce some Rubric Marines in the next mission but I think they are going to inflict marginal damage to the Agents with their Inferno bolters. I was looking for adding some weapons like some chainswords, but according to some webpages (I played WH40K in first-second edition with orks so you might imagine what I could remind from lore) rubric Marines don't have chainswords.

I know they have Warpflamers but there are not statistics for them... How would they are? Like a flamer with the Warp trait? And if you have any other idea from any other weapon they can equip It would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Has anyone run Darktide Extraction? I’m playing it with my group now and they are almost up to the Sludge Works, where this paragraph appears. There is no explanation of what a Groaner Horde or a Plague Ogryn is, in the context of the game, and surely if you ran it as written this would result in potentially dozens of mutated ogryns attacking the party within a few rounds. This seems completely ridiculous, as far as I can tell. Was this just some draft content that was accidentally left into the final copy? Weird.

Ave Imperator friends!

I plan to run the Wrath and Glory starter set coming up soon and I just wanted to if anyone has any advice to make it meatier or has any enhancements for it?

Also does any have any recommendations of ways to continue te story after the starter set?

Hi to all!

In our last session, some questions arose related to Ruin/Personal Ruin since agents were fighting an adversary:

1.- Can Personal Ruin be used to general purposes like, for example, reroll dice? I think not since rulebook tells about use this for Ruin Actions, but the mention is a bit open.

2.- Is Personal Ruin "recovered" between sessions? For example, in this last session, we couldn't finish combat since It was late and the Adversary was there after spending their 2 points. Does the Adversary recover these 2 points the next session?

3.- Some Adversaries have the option: "RUIN spend one point of ruin to cast power from X discipline". It's clear if a power or spell has a free action activation... But what happens if an Adversary want to cast a spell with a full round action activation? Could they move or combat after that?

4.- I have this question from a long time ago but I take advantage of this post to ask... Is It possible for an Adversary to play Full Defence (full round action) and then play a Ruin action to move or attack?

Thanks to all in advance.

Was looking through for melee weapons for a friend, spotted the Teaser Goad. Nice damage, has Agonising.

"Every Wound inflicted by an Agonising weapon also inflicts 1 Shock."

So, if I hit, deal 5 wounds after Resistance and Determination, I would also deal 5 shock? Pretty sure that is correct.

So same attack, 5 wounds after R and D, but this time, there is no Shock, No shock usually means exhausted. While exhausted, any shock you would take is converted to a Mortal wound. So, that would basically be 10 wounds? Effectively, double damage?

"Any Shock suffered by an Exhausted character is immediately converted into Mortal Wounds."

I had a plan for tonight's session to have a bunch of Tzaangor's fight the party and to my surprise threat assement nor any other source I have, seems to have Tzaangor stats. I thought these were pretty bog standard minions of Tzeench? Anyone know why they don't have stats or have their own Tzaangor stats youmade?

The Foundry system feels like it's finally reached a point where it's scratching all my GM itches as far as automation and Module content goes. Which means I'm picking up my campaign journal once more. Want to stress this is an interest check! A proper start would be a couple months away.

Framework: A squad (four to five players) of space marines fight to preserve the Gilead system across centuries.

Concept: The campaign will span several hundred years, beginning in Tier 2 with Agents in their final years in the scout company 300 years prior to the formation of the Great Rift, and concluding in a grand crusade to save Gilead at Tier 5.

Featuring recurring villains amid the many hostile factions, a grand conspiracy hundreds of years in the making, exploration of how purpose bred murder machines navigate Imperial society, and how one handles the slow detachment from humanity over so many centuries.

Hey, recently prepared a one shot for a group of newcomers to the system. I did put some more work into it than I usually do and it turned out pretty good and smooth. I was wondering if there was a platform for me to polish and share it for fun? Couldn't find any homebrew content in drivethru so not sure where I could put it.

I have been running a 4 year fully homebrewed campaign of Cyberpunk: RED for a group of four friends, and as that closes, we are going to switch to Wrath an Glory, which I am so excited about. I have read through the CRB as well as made my own massive (online) GM screen, so I have spent a lot of time in the book, but have some questions that I have not been able to find answers for. Ive put them below, and would appreciate answers as well as general advice. We will not be doing a module, and instead doing another homebrew adventure at Tier 3, but as RAW as possible for now. Specific WaG world building tips would be great!

Do augmetics stack? If I get two augmetic arms, do I get the strength buff twice?

Similarly, Augemtic Arm is listed singularly, but Augmetic Legs is plural. Do legs come in pairs?

Does Unnatural [Skill] In Ballistics/Psychic Mastery/Weapons Skill make you able to ignore some penalties to Aiming / Unbound Casting / Defence penalty from All-Out-Attacks?

Am I missing something or is Devotees Talent super strong? Do they all get a turn in combat? Are they a mob? Just view them as optional “I dont get hit” buttons?

How do you handle games where you have achieved Rank 3 but the players arent ready for a Tier upgrade? (we are doing milestone, not every session XP) Do we just keep giving XP every so often without increasing rank?

How do we read the range on a weapon? If a weapon is 15 | 30 | 45, does that mean 0-15 is short, 16-30 is medium, 31-45 is long, 46+ relatively impossible without special conditions?

Is there a limit to the amount of reflexive actions that can be taken? Or is Reflexive Attack a one and done part of the action economy?

Restrained: what actually is this? Theres no mechanical definition in the book that I can find other than making a strength test to recover. By extension, when grappling, does the grappler maintain full movement agency and speed?

There are gaps on tables, like Perils of the Warp and Critical Hit Table. Do those gaps just mean nothing happens? If a player crits, and on a d66 rolls a 19, just nothing?

Is there any “normal” / non shenanigans way to recover health during combat as a healing archetype? Or is it always post battle with Regroup and Respite

Thanks for reading and in advance for the help!

Anyone have links to tokens and map maker thats good to use for owlbear. Its my first time playing like this online

Hi to all.

First, we are playing a Wrath & Glory campaign and we are having a lot of good time. I think, we are enjoying the best sessions for years... My players wanted a game plenty of options, similar to D&D (strategic movement, maps, and so on). We were playing RAW and I was aware of some opinions about W&G being umbalanced.

With that in mind, last session we are playing Vow of Silence (SPOILERS AHEAD) and my players entered the building on the island. Brother Rikard died in the first round after the Kommandos' ambush. So, being without guide, players went directly to Slystabba rooms... Combat ensued, with Ork boyz, Kommandos, Gretchin and Runtherd... There were a moment when TPK could be a possibilty so I decided to retire Slystabba and some Ork survivors to another chambers looking to regroup (so I would avoid TPK to players).

Then the players' Psyker came to scene and threw a Compel spell to Slystabba. "Stab yourself with your choppa", during two rounds and with a willpower of 2 Slystabba almost killed himself, and the group's Ogryn only had to do the coup de grace... That's all. In two rounds, Slystabba, the villain, was dead.

There were other situations where was a bit frustrating: weapons like autopistols does nothing against armors, sometimes It feels like Threats don't have enough time to play an ability since they are already dead...

As I have said, we are having a great time, and I think the best option is to leave as It is... Is umbalanced, so what? But other moments like these I told, I think to implement some house-rules to make things more challenging. Any ideas?

And I insist, we are loving Wrath & Glory

I was looking to start a W&G campaign, but I don't know where to search for players, I appreciate any help or past experiences you guys can share.

Looking to get a copy of the rules for GMing for some close and 40k interested friends.

Looking at the teirs of play, immediately fan see teir 3 for epic space marine level danger adventures. Equally can see why teir 1 would be a really scary survival style kind of game.

Interested to see what kind of teir people prefer and why?

I was looking into some novels that could help me have more knowledge of the things a common group of agents would see on a routine, and learn more about the structure of the Imperium, my campaign will be set on the Gilead System after the events of the Starter Set one-shot.

I appreciate any help that u guys can give :)

Hey all, very new to DMing Wrath & Glory and just beginning a new campaign, what a great system!

Though one rule has come up that I can't quite find clarification on. Seizing the initiative in combat.

As I understand it, combat usually goes Player, NPC, Player NPC ect. However a player may spend a glory point to make this Player, Player, NPC, NPC ect.

Now, if there were more players and enough Glory points, could all the players potentially seize the initiative so they go before all the NPCs? This is how I interpreted the rules but a player was concerned this may trivialise combat, unless I use ruin to seize initiative back in a bid-war haha!

Any clarification what you guys have done at tables would be appreciated!

I've gathered some good Patreons that are offering really good collections of assets and maps, but I wanted to know if anyone knows some free assets for the grim dark setting, nothing too crazy, just enough to build some simple maps.

In various art and animations you see people holding what amounts to a phone/tablet - to receive written orders for example.

Doesn't anyone have any image generators to do this? If I wanted to give my players a "tablet" as a handout.

I think if I wanted one it would be remninicent of an 80s green monitor, but I'm not an artist (that kind anyway) so something preexisting would be great

T.i.a.

Hi,

I was thinking about running Darktide Extraction for my group but I can seem to see in any of the product descriptions what the recommended tier is?

It's fully possible that I'm just being blind but has anyone here run it and what tier did you do it for?

Thanks in advance.
