They have the racial quir of Disli e Travelling by Water (-1 point). / *Designer's Notes:* You might have noticed that these racial templates list advantages such as "Longevity" and "Extra Life Span" as costing 0 points. This is intentional. It is my humble opinion that if a disadvantage that doesn't penalize the character in any way shouldn't be worth any points, then the reverse should also be true for advantages. In my more than ten years of RPG experience, I have /never /had a campaign that lasted more than two years of game time. In other words, characters simply didn't get old enough to ma e aging rolls while the campaign lasted. Thus, I have decided to ma e all such advantages 0-point features in my campaign, since it would otherwise ma e elves and

dwarfs more expensive than neccessary. If you want to use the "default cost" for these advantages, raise the cost of elves by 15 points, and the cost of dwarfs by 10 points./ Advantages *Extra Fatigue *It is reccomended that spellcasters should be allowed to purchase Extra Fatigue beyond the normal limit of 3 or 4 levels suggested in CI24. If the GM wants to impose a maximum, 10 times the character's level of Magical Aptitude should be appropriate. * Literacy and Semi-Literacy* Illiteracy is the norm in the world of Warhammer. Thus, Semi-Literacy is worth 5 points, and Literacy is worth 10 points. *Magical Aptitude* The talent for magic is inborn. Thus, if a character doesn't have a level of Magical Aptitude at character creation, he cannot purchase it later on. The exception to this are elves, who are all able to learn magic. However, if a character does have Magical Aptitude at some level, he can purchase a higher level later on - up to the normal maximum of three. The GM might decide to allow certain High Elves and S aven to purchase a fourth level of Magical Aptitude, but these should best remain non-player characters. Disadvantages *Slayer?s Vows ?25 points* This disadvantage can only be ta en by dwarfs, but does not count against their 40 point limit on personal disadvantages when ta en by them. A dwarf with these vows will always see out the most dangerous opponent he can find, and attac it until one of them is dead, wearing neither armor or a shield for protection. Trollslayers and other Slayers can buy additional levels of Damage Resistance (3 points/level), up to the following limits: Trollslayer: Giantslayer: Dragonlayer: Demonslayer: DR DR DR DR 2 4 6 8

It is recommended that PC Slayers in a normal campaign of 100 character points and less start as Trollslayers. S ills *Language S ills* These languages are spo en by the various peoples of the Old World: Dar Tongue (Beastmen, Warriors of Chaos), Elthrin (Elves), Goblin Tongue (Goblinoids), Grumbarth (Ogres), Khazalid (Dwarfs),

Malla-room-ba-lrin (Treemen), Ogvar (Trolls), Old Worlder (Humans, Halflings), Quee ish (S aven), Ssissyl? (Lizardmen, Troglodytes). Malla-room-ba-lrin and Ssissyl? are Mental/Hard Languages. Ogvar is a Mental/Easy language. All other languages are Mental/Average. The following secret languages are nown by some people in the Old World: Battle Tongue, Classical Old Worlder, Rangers? Tongue, Thieves Tongue. All are Mental/Easy. The following arcane languages are nown by some people in the Old World: Arcane Dwarf, Arcane Elf, Demonic, Druidic, Magic , Old Slann. The arcane language of Magic is part of the Thaumatology s ill, and does not need to be learned seperately. The arcane language of Demonic is part of the Demonology s ill, and does not need to be learned seperately. Druidic is a Mental/Average language. Arcane Dwarf and Arcane Elf are Mental/Hard languages. Old Slann is a Mental/Very Hard language. Money and Wealth Starting Wealth for GURPS Warhammer is 160 gp. Multiply the cost of any GURPS equipment by 0.16 (or divide it by 6, if that results in a whole number) to get the cost in gold pieces. Magic and Spells *Spellcasters and armor* Spellcasters who wear armor add their highest non-magical PD armor bonuses to the casting costs of all their spells. /Example:/ A wizard wears chain mail with PD 3 and DR 4. He adds 3 to the energy cost of all his spells. Additionally, spellcasters may not use the Recover Strength spell to regain fatigue faster than normal while wearing armor. *Dwarfen and Halfling mages* Dwarfen and Halfling mages (non-divine spellcasters) add one point to the energy cost of all their spells. Halfling mages also substract two from their effective s ill levels with any spell. Dwarven mages do the same with all spells except for enhancement spells. *Divine Magic* Divine spellcasters require the Power Investiture advantage to cast spells. The Clerical Investment advantage is very common, but not required. *Sample Faiths* Prerequisites for individual spells, if any, are in brac ets. PI stands for Power Investiture ? e.g. PI2 stands for Power Investiture 2. /Mannan, God of the Seas/
