Well her background has nothing to do with the game but I will leave out the stats for mow.

Ok my character has now been posted ....enjoy

Oh and sorry about the length of the background I tend to get carried away when I write up characters.

I've just started up a new DH game and am currently putting together my opening posts and it has got me thinking. Should background information set the scene or provide hard facts?

I usually use background information to set the scene but from a players perspective is that enough? Do players want to know the who/how/when/why?

Alittle info about how the planet was, and what it is like now couldn't hurt. Since the characters are all natives to the planet aren't they?

Hard facts are the best i think. It gives you the best idea what is going on.

(not all chars are native, mine isn't, for example)

Guess I shouldn't have said native, I ment that they were on the planet. It's not like they came from another planet after it was conquered.

I have a cunning plan.

*hurries off to fetch source books*

Uh Oh.

*does the duck and cover routine*

Ok, this may be a dumb question, but in the adventure Shattered Hope, Xanthia is a World Killer.  What exactly is a World Killer?

I believe the World Killer is a super chaos ship. If I am not mistaken, it has the fire power and ability to wipe out a world, but it is amazingly slow.

+20 to Dodge=:)

I mean the "class" for lack of a better term.  Xanthis (female character) is a World Killer.

Class?

Are you sure you don't mean a world eater?

Positive.  Just checed it.  "Xanthia: Female Imperial World Killer"

Thats probably old beyond the current history.

probably...

and i'm pretty sure there's only one Chaos ship capable of destroying entire worlds with a single shot, and that's Abaddon's Planet Killer. Not entirely sure though.

I believe you are right there Valthek.

well, you're a chaos player or you're not :D:D:D

I'm a Tau player, a Marine player, and Eldar player AND a chaos player. I win?

So, sitting a lunch and not thinking about DH at all, it dawns on me that's probably two different statements.  She's probably a killer from an imperial world, so most likely an assassin.

What weapons does she use?

Las pistol, compact las pistol, sword, and knife.

If she is an assassin, best guess would be a Death Cult Assassin.

Oi!  List of upcoming DH releases!
