YES

I was going to start up a game of this, but I was already running too many games. :P

How will the point buy work, then? I know that you can roll for literally an entire character, but I don't recall rules on a point buy system?

And I'm more than willing to help anyone who needs it.

RT has a sidebar on it, DHII probably does since it came after. Generally it is "You start off with 25 points in everything. You have X points to spend. You can only spend X points in one stat."

Hmm, I'm probably using 1st edition, then...

After the one game I tried of this with Hanslanda where I was best psyker, I'm eager to give it a go again!
EDIT: I'm unsure what edition we're using, but I have a character I used a while back if that's acceptable.

Here is how it goes in DH 2nd Edition's Point-Buy: you have 25 points in all Characteristics (stats), including the newly-introduced Influence, though your homeworld may alter their starting value (by making some starting values higher and somes lower). You have 100 points to spend, and you can't get a stat above 40 during chargen. Easy enough.

Influence is basically your clot (RT's Profit Rating, BC's Infamy and OW's Logistics Rating are very similar) and it is the stat you roll for equipment acquisitions as well as requisitions of favors from high up and similar things. It's a measure of your combined wealth, influence, infamy and fame.

Ah, I see. I'll have to take a look at that other char generator I just saw when I'm on my computer - gotta properly recreate Old Buff Psyker Caveman Guy.

Crap, I've only got the 1st edition pdfs as far as I can tell. There's no Influence characteristic.

Guess I'll have to find a character generator.

Nevermind.

You can still play, though. It's still similar to the rest of the W40k line and helping you would probably be even easier since you're usually around IRC.

Oh yeah. One thing I forgot about Point-Buy is that you still roll for Wounds, Emperor's Blessing (basically the Fate Points roll, except you get a set amount plus 1 if you make the roll) and Divination. I can help people convert their 1st Edition characters straight to 2nd Edition if they go into an online roller like invisible castle and make those three rolls. 1d4chan's page is also quite helpful when going through chargen.

I also don't have Enemies Within but I know someone who does so I could feasibly get information from them about material that isn't in the core book (like the Fanatic role).

Edit: you roll 1d5 for Wounds, 1d100 for Divination and 1d10 for Emperor's Blessing, by the way.
My rolls: 5, 22, 3.
Edit2: And HERE is 1d4chan's page on DH 2nd Ed., complete with some helpful chargen info to decide on how to build your character.

Edit3: during chargen you start with stats at 25 (can be changed due to homeworld) and distribute 60 points in Point Buy, not 100. Herp derp.

I kinda want to play a dodgy melee fighter, which from what I can see in the character generator might mean playing as an Assassin. They start with a chainsword AND some sort of pistol, as well as an armored bodyglove. Is there some sort of Ambidextrous talent or trait I could get?

Assassin (Role) doesn't start with a chainsword and bodyglove, but Outcast (Background) does. And there's an Ambidextrous Talent, the exp cost depends on the Aptitudes you have. 200xp is the cheapest, in case you have both the Weapon Skill and Ballistic Skill Aptitudes.

Well, I DID choose the Outcast background, so that would explain where I got those things :P

What is the purpose of the "Choice" and "Clash" aptitudes in the character builder? Also, what do the Jaded and Leap Up talents do? I'm supposed to pick one.

I edited the Ambidextrous Talent's price into the last post, by the way. It's 300xp if you only have one of those Aptitudes.

Choice and Clash aren't Aptitudes, they must be mechanical things of the charbuilder, though I haven't checked it out yet. Maybe it means you have two of the same Aptitude, which means you're entitled to pick a new Aptitude to replace that, and it must be one that shares its name with a Characteristic. What were your chargen options? Homeworld - Background - Role, that is.
Spoiler: Jaded or Leap Up (click to show/hide)
