Chapter I - Character CreationChapter I - Character CreationCharacter creation in Dark Heresy is a process quite similar to the process presented in theGenesys Rulebook, with a few alterations. The following chapter outlines everything you needto know to create an Acolyte in service of The Emperor’s Holy Inquisition.Step I - Character ConceptComing Soon Step II - Home WorldsTaking the place of Archetypes and Species as presented in the Genesys Rulebook, in DarkHeresy the second step of character creation is to select your Home World. Your charactermay work for the Inquisition now, but that was not always the case, and your selection of aHome World informs who your character was in the past, before beginning their service to theThrone.While they are called home worlds, your character’s home world choice doesn’t have to reflectwhere they were born; just the kind of world which was most crucial to their development intothe person they are today.Home Worlds are mechanically identical to Archetypes, determining your startingarray of characteristics, wound threshold, strain threshold,starting experience, and a small selection ofspecial benefits unique to your home world.Select your Home World from theoptions provided on the following pages.4
Death WorldDeath worlds represent the harshest environments the Imperium has to offer thatnevertheless require human occupation. Though the kinds of threats to the natives vary greatly,all of these planets share one important characteristic: human life is often short. Those wholive on and survive these planets are some of the grittiest and, in some cases, battle-hardenedcitizens of the Imperium.2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 13 BrawnStrain Threshold: 11 WillpowerStarting Experience: 100 XPSurvivalists: Death Worlders begin the game with one rank in both Survival andResilience. They still may not train these skills above rank 2 during character creation. Survivor’s Paranoia: When rolling for Initiative, Death Worlders may always useVigilance.Feral WorldFeral worlds are planets where the dominant culture is trapped in a primitive state, oftenmuch lower technologically than that of other Imperial worlds. This can range from nomadichuman tribes, with little more than spears and a mastery over fire, to once-advanced planetsnow reduced to barbarism from environmental catastrophes, xenos predations, or other worldshattering events.3Brawn 2Agility1Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 13 BrawnStrain Threshold: 10 WillpowerStarting Experience: 95 XPSavage: Feral Worlders begin the game with one rank in either Melee or Survival.

Primitive: When making a Charm check in formal or upper-class settings, Feral Worldersupgrade the difficulty once.5
Chapter I - Character CreationFeudal WorldFeudal Worlders live on planets defined by two pronounced aspects, the first and mostdominant being a technological level suspended far below many other Imperial societies. Onmany of these worlds, gunpowder-based devices represent the extent of advancement. The otherdefining aspect of feudal worlds is how their natives live, all part of networks of obligationsand allegiances throughout a tribe or other societal grouping. These ties remain throughoutgenerations, all members born, raised, and dying within their fixed stations.2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 11 BrawnStrain Threshold: 10 WillpowerStarting Experience: 110 XPThe Old Ways: Feudal Worlders begin the game with one rank in either Melee or Athletics.They still may not train these skills above rank 2 during character creation. At Home in Armour: Feudal Worlders reduce the encumbrance of worn armour by 2, to aminimum of 0.Forge WorldForge Worlds are the beating iron heart of the Imperium and the sovereign domains of thePriesthood of Mars. They are given over to the demands of vast industrialisation and eternallyhungry for new resources to consume. A forge world’s wheels never cease to turn and dayin-day-out for millennia, the reactors blaze and the foundries thunder, turning out refinedmaterials and high technology to meet the Imperium’s unending needs.2Brawn 2Agility3IntellectWound Threshold: 10 BrawnStrain Threshold: 10 WillpowerStarting Experience: 95 XPAccustomed to Machines: Forge Worldersbegin the game with one rank in Mechanics.They still may not train Mechanics above rank2 during character creation.

Forge Worlders can install a numberof cybernetics equal to their Brawn plus 2before reducing their strain threshold.62Cunning2Willpower1Presence
Fortress WorldFortress Worlds are highly fortified, militarised worlds serving as a bastion against somegreat threat to the Imperium. These worlds are often in a constant state of warfare, locked in abitter conflict to protect the wider Imperium from heretics, xenos and things much worse. Mostindividuals born to a Fortress World are pressed into military service as soon as they come ofage, with a disproportionate number of citizens serving in the Planetary Defense Forces, orthose of the Astra Militarum.2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 11 BrawnStrain Threshold: 10 WillpowerStarting Experience: 110 XPBred for War: Fortress Worlders begin the game with one rank in Ranged (Heavy). Theystill may not train Ranged (Heavy) above rank 2 during character creation. Stalwart Defenders: When making use of cover, Fortress Worlders gain an additional 1Ranged Defence.Frontier WorldFrontier worlds occupy the desperate, lawless fringes of the Imperium. Inhabitants quicklylearn self-reliance by necessity, knowing that they cannot expect outside aid against maraudinghumans or ravenous aliens. As always, where there is little Imperial attention, heresy andmutation festers unchecked. Frontier worlds swarm with the violent dregs of humanity, withpirates, bandits, outlaws, and worse ruling many areas. These planets easily become breedinggrounds for rogue psykers, misguided heresies, and vile cults, and can threaten Mankind acrossthe wider Imperium should their contagion spread .2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 12 BrawnStrain Threshold: 11 WillpowerStarting Experience: 100 XPSurvival Instinct: Frontier Worlders begin the game with one rank in Survival orPerception.

Chapter I - Character CreationHighbornFrom almost their first breath, those born to the high nobility are schooled in the role theymust play and how they must play it. Their fine education covers not only the ins and outs ofhistory, commerce and power-politics, but an education in the fine-points of taste and etiquette:how to wear a mask of one’s own choosing, how to give an intended slight, how to curry andmete favour and the defence of honour are all lessons deeply ingrained.1Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower3PresenceWound Threshold: 9 BrawnStrain Threshold: 12 WillpowerStarting Experience: 100 XPSilver Tongue: Nobles begin the game with one rank in either Charm or Deception.

Etiquette: When making Charm, Deception or Negotiation rolls in formal situations, orwhen interacting with high authority, add b to the check. When making such rolls tointeract with members of the lower class of society, add b instead.Hive WorldHive worlds are home to countless teeming millions. The population is so dense that frequently the entire surface of the world is covered with enormous cities stretching from horizonto horizon. Many hivers labour in thankless obscurity, manning huge factories that churn outendless streams of weapons, chemicals or other vital goods. Others run with violent gangs inthe dark of the underhives, living off their wits, guts and firepower.2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 10 BrawnStrain Threshold: 10 WillpowerStarting Experience: 100 XPVigilant: Hive Worlders begin the game with one rank in Perception or Streetwise.

Wary: When rolling for initiative, Hive Worlders add s to the roll.8
Penal ColonyWhere most world classifications stem from the types of terrain or lifeforms found there,penal colonies are defined by strict Imperial Law. In every expansion, there are recidivists,looters, murderers, and thieves who appear in its wake. The most violent or persistent offenders,if not granted summary execution at the time of apprehension, may be shipped off-world tofacilities designed to house them permanently.2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 11 BrawnStrain Threshold: 10 WillpowerStarting Experience: 110 XPRecidivist: Penal Colonists begin the game with one rank in either Skulduggery orDeception.

The fundamental part of life in the Schola Progenium is harshdiscipline. From the day they first don their grey garb, the progena learn that the God-Emperorhas no use for infirmity of purpose or weakness, and pain is merely an illusion of an untrainedmind.2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 12 BrawnStrain Threshold: 12 WillpowerStarting Experience: 95 XPSchola Education: Progena begin the game with one rank in two different career skills oftheir choice.

Chapter I - Character CreationShrine WorldShrine Worlds are strongholds of the Adeptus Ministorum, entire planets dedicated toexalting the glory of the God-Emperor. They are mighty engines of faith that pulse with thefervid devotions of supplicants, pilgrims and clergy alike. While all citizens of the Imperiumare taught to venerate the glory of the Emperor in one form or another, it is the shrine worlderswho perhaps have the greatest understanding and reverence of the teachings of the ImperialCult.2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect1Cunning3Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 10 BrawnStrain Threshold: 12 WillpowerStarting Experience: 100 XPStudent of the Creed: Shrine Worlders begin the game with one rank in Knowledge(Imperium).

Strength of Faith: When making a Fear check, Shrine Worlders add aa.VoidbornBorn out in the darkness between the stars, the void born are an odd collection of misfits,strangers and ill-omened folk. Perhaps birthed in the belly of a pilgrimage ship, or aboard anancient orbital satellite, these people are often considered to be somehow touched by the taint ofthe warp.2Brawn 2Agility2Intellect2Cunning2Willpower2PresenceWound Threshold: 9 BrawnStrain Threshold: 12 WillpowerStarting Experience: 110 XPChild of the Dark: When making skill checks to resist the effects of mind altering psychicpowers or warp phenomena, Voidborn add s.

The only differenceis that in Dark Heresy, Driving may be used to operate flying vehicles as well, as would usuallybe governed by Piloting (page 62 of the Genesys Core Rulebook). This skill does not govern thecontrol of large vehicles such as starships - that is outside the scope of Dark Heresy entirely.Forbidden Lore - Chaos (Intellect)The unnatural realm of the Warp is home to the four great Chaos Gods, who rule this terribledomain even as they vie with each other to dominate all of existence. Acolytes in service of TheInquisition frequently come into contact with the servants of these gods, in the form of cultists,14daemons and even the fabled Chaos Space Marines, Adeptus Astartes who fell from grace and
betrayed The Emperor. The Forbidden Lore (Chaos) skill determines an Acolyte’s knowledgeof the Chaos Gods, their servants, their rituals, their cults, and anything else pertaining to thefoul worship of Chaos.Your character should use this skill if Your character tries to recall a specific piece of lore about a Chaos God Your character tries to identify useful facts about a particular Chaos Daemon.

Your character tries to identify how to successfully disrupt a Chaos ritual.Your character not should use this skill if Your character wants to know something about the Warp which isn’t directly relatedto the worship of Chaos, such as the effects psychic powers might have on reality.Forbidden Lore (Warp) would be the appropriate skill for this. Your character tries to identify facts about religious practices that aren’t related tothe Chaos Gods, such as those of a Xenos race, or a heretical group which does notworship Chaos. Forbidden Lore (Xenos) or Scholastic Lore (Galaxy) may be moreappropriate skills.Forbidden Lore - Warp (Intellect)The Warp is a powerful force, granting The Imperium many advances. Without the powerof the Warp, communication between systems would be impossible, and faster than light travelwould be a pipedream. The immaterium is a hostile place, however, and it can have powerful,corrupting effects on reality if left unchecked. Forbidden Lore (Warp) governs an Acolyte’sunderstanding of the Warp and how it operates. It allows Acolytes to identify warp phenomena,understand the terrifying powers of Psykers and Witches, and know the telltale signs of whenthe immaterium is leaking through to reality.Your character should use this skill if Your character notices strange phenomena in their environment and tries to identifyif they are caused by the Warp. Your character attempts to estimate the truepotential of a psyker or witch after observingtheir powers. Your character tries to estimate how longa trip between two systems might take viawarp travel.15

Knowledge of Chaos is governed by Forbidden Lore (Chaos).Forbidden Lore - Xenos (Intellect)Since Mankind first travelled to the stars, he has faced the threat of the alien. Myriadxenos races populate the galaxy, some old beyond comprehension, others even younger thanhumanity. Most of these have proved hostile to Mankind and its divine right to rule the galaxy.The Forbidden Lore (Xenos) skill determines an Acolyte’s understanding of the various xenosraces which populate the galaxy, including their technology, their culture, their appearance andtheir behaviour.Your character should use this skill if Your character wants to identify a strange xenos creature they have spotted. Your character attempts to translate the alien script of a xenos race. Your character finds a xenos weapon on the black market and tries to determine itsorigins. Your character tries to research the cultural practices of a particular xenos race.Your character not should use this skill if Your character tries to learn information which is trivial. Members of The Inquisitionwill usually have a basic understanding of the common Xenos races; they probablyalready know what an Ork is without needing to roll a check.Melee (Light)Melee (Light) operates as described on page 68 of the Genesys Core Rulebook. The onlydifference is that in Dark Heresy, Melee (Light) also governs unarmed brawling attacks,replacing the Brawl skill from page 67 of the Genesys Core Rulebook.Scholastic Lore (Galaxy)The Imperium of Man stretches across the entire galaxy, its reach extending far into the stars.The galaxy is a tremendously large place, and each world has a crucial role to play in the fate ofthe Imperium. The Scholastic Lore (Galaxy) skill governs an Acolyte’s knowledge of the galaxy.An Acolyte talented in this skill has a strong knowledge of the important planets in a sector;their geography, their politics, their population, their history; all facts which can be crucial in asuccessful investigation.Your character should use this skill if Your character tries to recall what resources a specific planet tithes to the Imperium.

Your character needs to knowthe official process for accessingspecific records through the AdeptusAdministratum.
