Perilous adventure awaits the heroes of the Empire. Many brave men, dwarfs, and elves accept their destiny and face the coming threats. Others have destiny thrust upon them...

The Adventurer’s Toolkit lets players easily add more excitement to their WarhammerToolkitFantasy Roleplay game with new careers and character development options. The Adventurer’s Toolkit is also perfect for new players in a campaign, allowing them to bring something new to the table. Either way, players will find a lot of new information and resources packed inside.

Included with The Adventurer’s Toolkit are more than 50 action cards (including extra copies of several of the key basic actions from the core set), 30 talent cards, 10 new careers, four new party sheets, a pad of character sheets, new character standups, extra tokens to help manage your heroes, and much more!

With The Adventurer’s Toolkit, players can explore the Old World as a sturdy Dwarf Ironbreaker, with his heavy gromril armour. Or they may choose to adventure as a formidable High Elf Sword Master, bearing his distinctive Greatsword of Hoeth. Players can now also adventure as nimble Wood Elf Wardancers with their exotic ritual dances. The toolkit also brings to life one of the classic Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay careers, the downtrodden Ratcatcher with a small but vicious dog – which even gets its own special follower sheet to help manage the cur during play.

DogThe inclusion of the Ratcatcher introduces a new type of career ability – a follower. The Ratcatcher’s faithful Small But Vicious Dog has several special rules governing its use. To make managing the mongrel more convenient, the Small But Vicious Dog has its very own special version of a character sheet, and a cardboard standup to keep track of its location. The special rules can be found on the back of the Small But Vicious Dog’s follower sheet for quick reference. As the Ratcatcher and his pet work together during adventures, the Small But Vicious Dog may gain or lose Obedience, reflecting its willingness to follow commands and perform the special tricks his master has taught him.

As a Game Master, The Adventurer’s Toolkit offers more options to help bring the Old World to life. The new career sheets and talent cards can help the GM develop a variety of interesting non-player characters (NPCs) for the adventurers to encounter. The additional components also allow him to use even more of the tools, tips, and suggestions provided in the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay core set, while at the same time making it easier to manage the game and let the players focus on the story and their adventures.

As a player, The Adventurer’s Toolkit offers new action cards to add to their character’s arsenal, as well as new talent cards to round out their character’s personalities and knacks. The new careers offer even more interesting choices to a player when he decides it is time for his character to transition into its next career.

The Adventurer’s Toolkit is packaged with a slipcase that wraps around an inner box. The inner box is a sturdy, two piece box adorned with a distinctive Warhammer Fantasy design. Once the player has integrated the components from the Toolkit with his core set, the box doubles as a convenient, attractive character keeper to store all the cards and information needed to manage a hero in the system.

The Adventurer’s Toolkit lets the players face their grim and perilous adventures with more options than ever before!

Based in the grim setting of Games Workshop’s Warhammer Fantasy world, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a roleplaying game that sets unlikely heroes on the road to perilous adventure. Players will venture into the dark corners of the Empire, guided by luck and Fate, and challenge the threats that others cannot or will not face.

The Adventurer’s Toolkit is not a complete game, and requires the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay core set to use the new components introduced in the Toolkit.
