Warhammer Fantasy With A D20
Purpose of WFW/D20 Step 3: Before you do anything else each player will get 22
There had been many discussions between myself and others Character points in which to buy Attributes, Wounds, and Fate
about the Percentile system of WFRP. While archaic and doing points. Keep it in mind as you buy everything
its job, it could very well be simplified and streamlined to make
for a quicker play experience. This may not be for everyone, the
old school and hardcore audience out there may hate the idea of Attributes
anything but percentile, but for some of us, this exists.
So the entire point of this is to cut down on things, all of the Each Attribute starts at a 4 by spending points you can

increments of 5%. This leads to the theory that all things in Table 1-2: Attribute Modifiers
WFRP can just be done on a D20. As each point on a D20 is 5%. Modifier Point Cost
You can see where this is going.

Also I felt that Character creation need not be random. Each

player should have the option of a little bit of control over their
stats rather than the whim of lady luck. Again, this isnt for +3 4
everyone and the original rules work just fine as they are, though +4 5
for the purposes of WFW/D20 I would highly suggest this new
method as it flows a lot better. So let us get things kicked off
here, and welcome to Warhammer Fantasy With a D20. Starting Wounds
Each player starts with 10 wounds. Modify this using the
table below.

stress it enough as it helps you down the line when you wish to
choose your race, career, stats, and otherwise.
Step 2: Choose a Race. There are Four main races in
Warhammer Fantasy. Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, and Human. See the
WFRP core book about the background to each of these races,
depending on what you chose different bonuses and penalties will
be given.
Racial Modifiers

Depending on which race you chose earlier apply these
modifications to your characters statistics.

Starting Fate Points
Depending on the race you selected earlier your starting fate
points will differ. Of course the first option of each race is free
(youll start with this regardless of points spent). As in the core
book, Dwarfs have the range, Elves costly and few, Halflings have
a good start but a hefty price to get more. And Humans have the
easiest of them all.
