Champion Creation

Chaos Dwarves have several special rules:

• Dwarves never reduce their Movement value due to wearing armour or a shield.
• Dwarves make poor cavalry, preferring small mules or donkeys to warhorses. Reduce the movement of dwarven horsemen by 2". While on horseback, dwarves receive no charge bonus, or any weapon bonuses due to charging.
• Dwarven wizards have half the Power Level of a human wizard.
• Once per spell level known, dwarven wizards may substitute a necromantic or demonic spell for any one battle magic spell. Note that this only occurs during character creation.
• Chaos dwarf mages may not learn Illusion or Elemental magic.
• Chaos Dwarves start play with D6-4 Personal Chaos Attributes.

The basic profile for a Chaos Dwarf is as follows:

The random character table is presented below:

Dark Elves have several special rules:

• Dark Elves cause Fear in enemy Goblins that do not outnumber them by more than two to one. As such, any squad of Goblins that should attack your lone Champion will be afraid if there is less than three of them.
• All movement penalties due to armour are doubled for Dark Elves - having a 5+ Save value would penalise them by 1" rather than 0.5", for example.
• Dark Elves Hate other forms of elves.
• Dark Elf wizards must have at least one demonic or necromantic spell per Spell Level, and may substitute all of their Battle Magic spells for equivalent level demonic or necromantic spells. One battle magic spell of any level may be substitued for one Illusion spell of equivalent level. Dark Elves may never learn Elemental magic.
• Your champion gains with D6-3 Personal Chaos Attributes.

Humans have several special rules:

• Human wizards may choose to substitute Illusion or Elemental spells for any or all of their Battle Magic spells.

The basic profile for a Human is as follows:

The random character table is presented below:

The Other category behaves a little differently to other species. No creature of the Other category will start play with character levels - instead, this presents a vast array of rarer creatures that could be played as.

The random character table is presented below:

Note that the Were entry behaves differently to the others in that it will cause you to generate two seperate profiles, each with their own set of mutations, gifts, and other such modifications rolled at the time you are called to do so: the first being a basic Human, the other being a Basic Wolf-Man. This makes it possible to play a character such as a were-demon, were-spawn, or even spawn in one form and demon in the other. As you do not have Character Levels, you will not have access to a Great Wolf form.

Beastmen compose myriad types of mortals that mix human and bestial features, primarily goat and bovine. They are very durable, but often have more limited magical and military training.

• Beastmen are very likely to have Chaos Attributes, as indicated, in the form of Personal or Dominant attribuites for the entire unit.
• Beastmen Shamans generate spells randomly from the Battle Magic, Daemonic, or Necromantic spell lists until they have one of each for each level.
• Beastman Champions may not gain Magic.

Basic profile:

The specific form of Beastman will be modified by the Mark they recieve. In addition, roll on the following table before generating starting Retinue, and each time you gain a new Reward:

Centaurs are strong and incredibly fast, not to mention the inherent advantage to their defence through being considered mounted at all times. Like beastmen, they have a focus on hordes, but are much more singularly powerful.

• Centaurs are very likely to have Chaos Attributes, as indicated, in the form of Personal or Dominant attribuites for the entire unit.
• Centaurs can make any amount of their attacks as Stomp attacks instead of Weapon attacks, which do not gain any bonuses for weapon type but can be made to any facing rather than just frontal.
• Centaur Warlocks generate spells from the Battle Magic list.

Minotaurs are powerful figures, guardians of the secret sanctums where Chaos intersects with the physical world. Empowered or killed by the embracing of such a space before their marking as Champion, they are uniquely resistent to magic, though rendered unable to use it. Their extreme durability comes at the cost of rapid mutation, ending many careers swiftly.

• Minotaurs have Attributes as indicated, though they may have fewer as the player wishes.
• Minotaurs cause Fear in opponents below 10' tall.
• Minotaurs reduce the Armour of targets in Hand-to-Hand by 1.
• If a minotaur's opponents are routed, then the minotaur unit must make a Cool test vs Blood Greed. If the unit fails, they cannot pursue the retreating enemy, nor do they make a Free Attack - they are too busy consuming the corpses of the fallen. They will remain stationary until the end of their turn, at which point they may make another Blood Greed test. Another test may be made when attacked or shot with magic. Those who fail a Blood Greed test can only act under specific conditions: if the unit is Charged, then they immediately enter a Frenzy.
• Minotaur Champions may roll magic saving throws twice and pick the better result.
• If a Minotaur Champion is wounded, then roll 1d6. On a 1-4, the wound is suffered normally. On a 5, it is ignored. On a 6, it is ignored, and a new Chaos Attribute is instantly generated.
• Minotaurs may not learn Magic.

Roll on the following table before generating starting Retinue, and each time you gain a new Reward:

Dragon Ogres are extremely imposing, gigantic creatures to have as a Champion - though incapable of magic and generally hard to fold into a formation, you will be hard-pressed to find a more durable figure that does not come with severe disadvantages.

• Enemies struck by Dragon Ogres in Hand-to-Hand combat have their Armour reduced by 1.
• Dragon Ogres may start play with additional Attributes up to the amount indicated.
• Dragon Ogres cause Fear in creatures below 10' tall.
• Dragon Ogres may replace any number of weapon attacks with Stomp attacks, which may strike any facing.
• If struck by Lightning, the Dragon Ogre is unharmed but must roll 1d6 - on a 4 or higher, they become Frenzied.
• Dragon Ogres may not learn magic.

Roll on the following table instead of generating starting Retinue:

If your champion started with any Character Levels, you gain an amount of points that can be spent to modify the basic profile of that character, alongside other benefits. These are detailed here.

At the final stage of Champion Creation, you will gain starting gear - more specifically, 1d6 Equipment Points worth of it, +1 for every five Character Levels you possess.

If your character is a Mage, remember your initial Character Level and move to the Magic section next.

Champions of Kharneth start play with an upgraded suit of Chaos Armour. This suit has a Save value of 4+, and may be used to make Armour Saves against magical attacks, the attacks of demons, and magical weapons, alongside the usual benefits.

If the Champion possess magic of any kind, they are reduced by one Level, and lose all spells associated with that Level. In addition, their Power Level is reduced by 3d6.

The Champion rolls once on the Personal Chaos Attributes table.

Champions of Slaaneth gain one point of Willpower, alongside a Personal Chaos Attribute.

Champions of Nurgleth gain one point of Toughness, alongside a Personal Chaos Attribute. You also must roll 1d6 - on a 6, you have contracted Nurgle's Rot.

Champions of Tzeeneth receive a random Magic Item, alongside 1d3 Personal Chaos Attributes.

Champions of Chaos Undivided receive a random Reward of Chaos, in addition to a Personal Chaos Attribute.
