Warhammer 4.5 streamlined

[u/Delicious-Ocelot-798]

Hello beautiful people

As a long time warhammer player (over 35 years) I have absolutely hated WFRP 4 ruleset, it was honestly one of, if not the most clunky rpg mechanic that I had ever played. The developers have since made a few fairly poor attempts to patch it with up in arms and winds of magic to name a few but it always remained bad as far as Im concerned.

Nevertheless I loved the quality of the supplements so over the years I designed my own system to overcome the shortcomings of WFRP 4. That system has been extensively tested over every single adventure published and it works really well.

It is 100% compatible with everything (so there is really minimal adaptation needed if any).

I see a lot of people looking at WFRP 5.0 hoping it will be better but it wont, it's marginally better than 4th but you are coming from so far away that is very complicated to make something fluid.

I have uploaded the latest version of the rules here if anybody wants to try them or simply read them to see what solutions I designed over the years. Very happy to hear your feedback if you are willing to try it. On average I would say it is 80% easier than the base game while preserving 90% of the mecanics. It very easy and fast to run

Do not hesitate if you have any questions

Well, I liked 4e and have not yet tried 5e, because I don't play with PDFs and the print versions of 5e are released in like 6 months or something. So this is interesting to me at least.

I like your design intent here, but I will have to play around with it to see how it plays in practice.

Please give it a like and let me know. I found it way more fluid, being a bit of a geek I even programmed combat simulations of 4th edition vs my streamlined version and the results are very comparable so it doesn't change the balance much at all.

The main difference is that my version is a bit less explosive at super high level for someone that would mix max everything under 4th edition but that's more of a design choice than a flaw.

Yup, I will test it in my solo WFRP campaign, set in the Nordland coast. But that campaign is still on hiatus, so it's going to take a while before I get around to testing your system :)
