Warhammer Quest

Elf Warrior

By Thecustodian - V1.1

The Dwarfs and the Elves enjoyed the golden age of their civilisations long before the empires of Man arose, and both are long-lived and noble races. There the similarity ends, however, as where the Dwarfs are gruff and serious, Elves are joyful, frivolous, haughty and disdainful of other races. It was inevitable that the differences that lie between them should lead to a terrible and bitter war.
Although the war has ended, neither the Elves nor the Dwarfs will ever truly forgive nor forget, and an enduring mistrust now exists between their two races.
Elves are tall, slender, pale-skinned and of haughty demeanour. Their slender build belies their strength and toughness, for Elves are powerful creatures, and deadly in battle. Their weapons and armour are the finest in the Warhammer World, crafted out of exquisite materials, using techniques unknown to Man, and encrusted in precious gems.
Elves generally keep themselves apart from the world of Men. Most of the Elves have abandoned the Old World and now make their home in the Elf kingdom of Ulthuan.
A few Elves still live in the forests of Loren. These Wood Elves are not as far distance from the realms of humans as their High Elf kin. In times of dire threat to the Empire or the Kingdom of Bretonnia, the Wood Elves will even send mighty armies to fight alongside the human Warriors in battle.
Wood Elf adventurers are rare but not unheard of. The Elves' passion for bright jewels and gems, and their hatred of evil races such as Orcs and Goblins can lead them to undertake the most hazardous of adventures. The Elf in Warhammer Quest is just such a Warrior- determined to recover lost treasures, experience new realms and rid the world of the hideous monsters who deface its beauty.

Starting as an Elf Warrior.

The profile of an Elf is as follows:

Weapons

The Elf begins the game with a sword doing 1D6+3 wounds and a bow, which also does 1D6+3 wounds.

Armour

The Elf does not begin the game with any armour.

Equipment

The Elf starts with a Healing Potion that will bring one Warrior up to full Wounds. It may only be used once, and is then discarded.

Starting Skill- Dodge

Whenever the elf is hit, he can try to dodge by rolling 1D6. If the score is a 6, he dodges the damage completely. This applies to hand to hand combat and missile hits.

Rules for Armour, Weapons and Equipment

The elf may use any item usable by the elf. Waste of time, this, isn't it?

Advanced Rules

Starting Skill

The Dodge Skill works on a roll of 6 at Novice and Champion Levels. When the Elf progresses to Hero and Lord levels, the Dodge Skill works on a 5+.

Elves in Settlements

When the Elf visits a Settlement, he may visit the Alehouse, Temple, Alchemist, Gambling House, the Elf Quarter and all of the Traders.
The Elf can visit the Noble House. He will not be tempted by the exotic items on sale. While there he can roll on the News Table, counting a roll of 2 or 1 as a 1. He may also visit the Lord, bringing either a gift from a Wood Elf Troupe, or 1D6x50 gold. He may roll 1D3 times on the Knight Table, rerolling a 4.
The Elf may choose to visit the Wood Elf Troupe, rolling for distance in the same way as the Wardancer. While there he must pay Subsistence, and roll on the Duty Table. He may visit the Traders, but cannot go on the Wild Hunt.

Training

The Elf trains in the usual way, paying his gold and spending a full week refining his skills.
Whenever he goes up a Battle Level he should roll on the Archery Skill Table to see if he gains a skill with his bow. If the Elf rolls a skill that he already has then he does not gain any benefit from his training and doesn't receive a new skill this time.

When the Battle Level table says that the elf has gained a new skill, roll on the following table.
