Crossing 2E with Zweihander, looking for advise!
Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2019 7:23 pm
Hey everyone!
I'm relatively new to the field of Warhammer Roleplay, been GMing for it about a year now but have been DMing for over 15 years in various other fields such as 3.0-3.5, and Pathfinder, Paladium, and Rogue Trader. Long story short I have fallen madly in love with 2E but considering it is essentially a dead game, I have really been working at taking bits and pieces from other games and creating my own little Frankenstein's monster so to speak.
The big thing that I want to do is introduce a lot of systems from Zweihander and bring them into Warhammer 2E. Part of me just wants to play Zweihander, but on the flip side I just can't help but still love 2E and want to play that. That's a struggle for another day though haha.
The first thing I want some help on is introducing specific talents or abilities for each career in the same way that Zweihander does it. I really loved the idea that you'd get a special something from each career and want to bring that into 2E but some of the careers are really hard to come up with an original idea for. Now a lot of these I (rather shamelessly I might add) copy pasted almost word for word from the Zweihander books, this worked pretty well for a lot of them, others I've come up with some things myself that are reminiscent from other game systems. But there's a LOT of careers in 2E than there are in Zweihander and figured I'd see if you guys had some ideas!

Thanks for taking the time to look!
