So I have been working on my stunts and I have come up with these. How do they look?
[ +- ] Destroyer of Abominations
[ +- ] Aura of Discipline
[ +- ] Commissar’s Word
[ +- ] Fearless
[ +- ] Threat of Execution
Any feedback is appreciated. For anyone else who is new to the system, I have been using this resource for inspiration: http://evilhat.wikidot.com/fate-core-stunts

Can you make Destroyer of Abominations more specific? The way it’s worded now you’d be using it in almost every conflict. Maybe make it specific to Daemons or Xenos.

The rest look great to me.

Whoops, I forgot. Stunts in this game are worth three shifts, not two. So all your +2s should be changed to +3.

Cheers, I'll make those modifications đź‘Ť

Ok, I probably jacked this all up. But take a look at my character to see what I should change please.

@Darpavien Please submit your character and I’ll review him.

How do I submit a character again?

Go to the "Game Details" page at the bottom of this page.

On that page, you should be able to submit a character using the dropdown and "Submit" button.

I'm a bit stuck on my 2 free character aspects and I think I am a bit hung up on the broad Ness of the character concept aspect. For example, I think a Commissar would implicitly have to be brave, merciless, zealous, inspiring otherwise he wouldn't have graduated. Ou would assume he also has military knowledge and knows ow to fight. So am I right in thinking I wouldn't need any other aspects to cover these?

@Sgt.Banter yes, if his high concept includes the words "Imperial Guard Commissar" a lot of what you just mentioned is covered. What kind of Commissar was he? Throw an adjective or two in front of the nouns to give us something to play off of, something that tells me how we can Compel the Aspect to earn you Fate points.

If you all can't figure out all of your aspects before we start that's fine. You really just need your High Concept and Trouble. You'll just have less to invoke and I'll have less to compel out of the gate. You can figure out the other aspects as we go and you get settled into your characters.

Looking at stunts now. How will psionics work? Do I need stunts to be able to attack with it for example?
Jul 28, 2022 10:45 pm
You can use the Psyker skill as a substitute for other skills like Shoot to represent psychic blasts. If you want to be able to do something that couldn't be replicated by someone else using a skill and gear, you need to create a stunt.

I want to pop out what I am working on for everyones perusal. Maybe get some input so I can improve.

Character name. Valsarius Malge, Magos Dominus of the Asynchronous Cloister.

High Concept Devoted tech-priest of the Omnissiah

Aspect: Converse with machine spirits.

Aspect: More arms makes less work.

Aspect: Not your average sawbones

Relationsship: Patched up a space marine.


can use some suggestions.

As for working with the Inquisitor. Fear is a powerful motivator or "It is the will of the Omnissiah" are both reasonable.

You need a Trouble aspect, and your relationship aspect should involve one of the other PCs.

I really like More Arms Make Less Work.

Thank you.

My connection was with Khulod. I wrote space marine cause I brain farted I meant
Patched up a Psyker.

The primaris part of his background made me default on Primaris marines. My bad.

Trouble: My faith is a shield and that shield is broken?
I am looking for something that might represent a crisis of faith like He Believes in the omnissiah but there is a thread of doubt that seeps into his being that makes him question if his faith is real.
