Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Up in Arms (English)

The old world is a dangerous place. With the empire torn within and threatened by enemies outside, it is only wise to learn a soldier's skills or to hire those who already have. Some might say that to live by the sword is to die by the sword, and there is truth in this. But in the empire's wilderness, to refuse to live for the sword is to die for the sword even faster.

Up in Arms provides opportunities and guidance for Warhammer Fantasy roleplay characters following warrior careers. It focuses on abilities that players and GMs can utilize to add variety and expertise to the fighting folk of the old world. This 144-page book includes:

• A discussion of the Myrmidia cult, providing the most comprehensive guide yet published to the beliefs and practices of those who worship the goddess of strategy.
  
• Soldiers of all stripes, describing the experience of the common members of the empire's glorious state troops and providing new careers such as hand weapons, halberdiers, and greatswords.
• A history of the role of mercenaries in the wars of the old world, including background and rules to support playing Tilean characters and other war dogs.
  
• A guide to the empire's famous knightly orders with options to join secular orders, templar chapters, or go it alone as a freelance knight.
  
• An expanded list of weapons and armor, from basic weapons like swords and axes to exotic specialty gear such as weighted nets and pavises.
  
• Rules for taking cover within vehicles and buildings - and corresponding rules for blowing vehicles and buildings up with devastating artillery.
  
• Details on hiring mercenary NPCs, including a system for generating individual quirks and work ethics.
  
• Optional and additional rules covering new endeavors, alternative approaches to critical damage, prepared fights, use of advantages, pursuits, and talents.
