2nd Careers

Most everyone's still several adventures away from beginning their second career, but I'd like for the transitions to be smooth, and to set that up, it'd help a lot if I knew what your choices will be. For instance, Nick, D3 mentioned you were looking at Roadwarden. If that IS the case, let me know for sure so I can see about planting some subplots or adventure elements that put you in connection with a Roadwarden who might mentor you or throw a mission or two your way.

Fimgon's Career Exits include: Boatman, Charlatan, Fence, Ferryman, Seasman, Shieldbreaker, Thief
Bargrimm's Career Exits include: Charcoal-Burner, Engineer, Mercenery, Scout, Shieldbreaker, Smuggler
Nicodemus's Career Exits include: Boatman, Highwayman, Roadwarden, Seaman, Smuggler

And as a reminder, you CAN pick a career that's not among your Career Exits by paying 200 exp. and getting GM permission. It has to be a Basic Career, though, so no picking Wizard Lord, cheaters.

Rules Clarification: Non-Career Skills & Talents

For the most part in Warhammer, you're limited to chosing skills and talents that come with your career, but there IS a way to buy others. In short, you need to get GM permission before you can buy them, and if you do, they cost 200 exp. points (instead of the usual 100). It's not something that should be done often, but if there's a skill or talent you really think your character should have and it didn't come with your career, let me know and we'll see what we can do.

As an example, Randy wanted to take the Gamble skill for Fimgon since gambling was part of his backstory. Makes complete sense, and Gambling is hardly a skill likely to cause any game imbalance. Combat skills like Dodge Blow and talents like Strike to Injure are a lot less likely to be OK'ed. Those are skills you usually have to learn through some sort of formal military training, so unless you've got a reaaaaaally good reason, you'll have to wait till you hit an appropriate career for 'em.
