Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader Beta - Character Creation Breakdown

greetings everyone hope all of you are having an absolutely fantastic day now that the Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader beta has been released we could do a deep dive on character creation if I reference mechanics you are unfamiliar with there's a link in the description to my new player guide let me know down in the comments if there's any other content regarding this game that you would like to see a video on the first step in the Character Creator allows you to choose a pre-made build or create one for yourself choosing the custom option brings you to the appearance section where you have a list of pretty awesome portraits note that some of the portraits say work in progress at the bottom for those of you who are new to this type of game keep in mind that the camera really focuses on your face so the portrait is really the main representation of your character usually a bone for release alcat allows players to import their own custom portraits from there you can customize your face body type and skin tone again Rogue trade is not a game that focuses a lot on your face so you don't have to go crazy with this next you can customize your hair eyebrows the color of bulk and your beard if you're male there's some pretty hilarious possible combinations here ranging from the Mandarin to George Washington you can also select tattoo implant and voice options but they are all very limited and alcat has promised to expand this section in the future next up you choose a home world and this is actually a big deal since it increases and decreases specific characteristics provide you with a passive talent and unlocks talents that you can select when leveling up like everything else this section is missing mechanics and options so it will be much more robust upon release it's not clear yet if Homeworld options will unlock dialogue in the main game the first option is death world and these are places with very harsh environments where the beasts and even planets are hostile and aggressive human colonies are set up there to harvest valuable resources and the harsh life hardens some individuals into standout Warriors this Homeworld provides a plus five bonus to strength toughness and Agility while imposing a penalty of the same amount to intelligence and fellowship you also gain survival Instinct as a passive ability which is triggered once per combat when you drop below 30 wounds this passive will automatically give you 20 of your maximum wounds as a temporary bonus you also gain a 20 Dodge bonus anytime you have temporary wounds from any source as you level up other talents will become available such as brutal Hunter which gives you fifty percent critical hit chance against creatures that have a bleeding effect or have less than 50 percent of their maximum wounds trusty weapons gives you a plus 10 bonus to critical hit chance when wielding axes Hammers and lost weapons wounded Beast makes every injury increase your agility and willpower by five and traumas count as three injuries hellish life gives you a deflection bonus against flame and poison damage equal to your toughness bonus finally tenacity is triggered once per combat when you are stunned blinded or immobilized eyes and causes you to ignore this condition while also gaining 20 percent of your maximum wounds as temporary wounds all of this is absolutely fantastic for a Frontline fighter especially a tank voidborn is the phrase used to describe humans born upon a void vessel or orbital satellite these humans are used to living in low or zero gravity environments and consequently develop deformities or Oddities in their speech patterns selecting voidborn will provide you with a plus five bonus to willpower and intelligence while you take a
