Empire (perso) - Prêtres guerriers de Véréna, Taal et Ulric

[Invité Thomas Trolljaeger]

Certains d'entre vous pourraient avoir noté que le logiciel Army Builder permet de sélectionner un bien étrange personnage : un prêtre guerrier de Véréna.

Il s'agit d'une intégration dans la liste impériale à titre d'expérience d'une partie des travaux de Ian Hawkes, rédacteur de l'article sur la religion dans l'Empire et des règles du prêtre guerrier d'Ulric.

On peut les trouver, ainsi que les règles du prêtre de Taal et celui de Myrmidia, sur le forum de propositions d'intégration à Army Builder : ici

Je trouve le travail de Ian Hawkes très bon

Bin oui, moi aussi.

Ca sent le rôliste tout ça ; je veux dire au niveau du fluff...

Ceci dit, ce qui me semble particulièrement intéressant dans ces personnages, c'est l'équilibre de leurs règles spéciales et en même temps la cohérence avec le background...

Non que je veuille absolument en aligner un à Grenoble... Mais bon, Hawkes semble s'être parfaitement approprié l'esprit des règles de la V6 et nous a pondu un truc jouable, à défaut d'être officiel.

Tout ce qu'à produit Ian pour GW est de très bonne facture et souvent inspiré du background de l'empire contenu dans WFRP (et aussi de Conan dont c'est un grand fan... mais c'est une autre histoire).

Point de vue de l'orthodxie des règles il semble au point effectivement. J'avais réagi sur certains points lors du dev sur le forum portent. Comme Portent vient de mourir je peux pas te donenr le lien... Dommage (à tous les niveaux)

Tu peux aussi trouver les propositions de règles faites par Mîm sur ce forum.

D'autres versions (sous la forme d'augmentation pour le Prêtre Guerrier)

Along the same lines of ‘Provincial Traits’, I decided to compile some thoughts I had in regards to characters that should actually be in the Empire Armybook, that were missed opportunities. These in general work off a framework of the existing characters, to make them more unique – similar to Kindreds in a WE book I guess…

Feedback / suggestions welcome.

The Warrior Priest may ‘worship’ one of the following gods:

- Sigmar
