WFRP 1st Edition Advanced Careers Chart

 


Warhammer Fantasy Role Play has always had an interesting system with using careers as a way for characters to advance in the game.  With over sixty basic careers they is a lot of options that players can have for their character.

When you then move on into all the Advanced Careers there is a lot of options.  Coming back to the game I wanted to know what routes were available to get from which advanced career to another. As no chart existing I created one including key Characteristics that are available.

Key

Rectangles show Advanced Careers while ovals are Basic Careers.  I have shaded in those careers that cannot be reached from other Advanced Careers.  Given the Magical careers do not really connect with the others I left them off the diagram.

The Highwayman, Duelist, Assassin and Outlaw Chief form four corners of our diagram with the Mercenary Captain as the central hub.  This allows for characters to move round the majority of advanced careers without ever having to go back to a basic one as well as covering the majority of the skills.

Targeteer. An important career as it is the only option for maximizing Ballistic skill and is very limited since only three basic careers allow you take it.  Those are Outlaw, Bounty Hunter and Game Keeper.

Charlatan.  Is another entry point that can only be reached from basic careers.  In this case though almost half of the Rogue and many Academic basic carers have the option of progressing here which makes it much more widely accessible.  This has a fairly linear career path into being a Spy and then Assassin.

Mercenary Captain & Sergeant. While taking this career can be a stepping stone you can only fully progress to Captain having completing all the sergeant profile which takes about 25 advances.  Fortunately you are allowed to take any of the exits earlier and can come back to being a Captain once you have gained most of those advances, and other benefits, from following a difference career path.  This opens up the Free Lance and Judicial Champion for those wanting to maximum combat prowess.

Sea Captain & Mate. For some reason these take a different approach to the Mercenary and have different career exits for the two options making Sea Captain a bit weaker as a choice. Sea Mate it is one of the few careers if you want the Swim skill.

Blood Bowl Inducement Review

Blood Bowl Inducement Review As most of the inducement options from Death Zone are allowed in LBBL games I thought it was worthwhile providing a summary of what is available.  I have also added a quick colour code to say if I think the options are Good , Bad or Situationally useful.  Remember as per the League handbook you must bring along an official copy of the relevant rulebook for any Inducement you are using.  This guide is intended to be used to help you decided if you want to buy a copy of Death Zone not as a replacement for it.  Remember folks we get an extra 5% off at Geek Retreat on League night! Death Zone offers (In)Famous Coaching Staff, new Wizards, Named Referees and a small number of other cheap options for using up petty cash.   0-2 (In)famous Coaching Staff Galandril Silverwater 40,000 gp Elven Kingdoms Extra Cheerleaders and a minimal chance of extra Team Re-rolls if that kick off event happens.  I will pass thank you.

TourPlay Redrafting Guide

Blood Bowl Redrafting  A quick guide for redrafting teams using TourPlay for League tracking When your team has been submitted to join the league you can see at the top of the screen a message saying the team is redrafting and all the players are greyed out with a warning triangle at the start. Your team value should show zero and your treasury be 1,300,000 gold.  If either of these are not the case then STOP and contact an admin before continuing with redrafting. When you select each player you are given the option of hiring them again.  You can see the cost to rehire, including agency fee, shown below the players value.  If you elect to Fire a player TourPlay will ask for confirmation but once you say yes that player is gone.  There is no way to bring them back! When you hire a player the system will roll to see if any Niggling Injuries are healed. Players cost an extra 20k to rehire for each previous season they have played.  If you rehire five players after one season that will lea
