Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fifth Edition Rulebook

Core Rulebook by Cubicle 7 Entertainment

“A Grim World of Perilous Adventure”
Oh, for Sigmar’s sake! Don’t pretend you’re going to walk on by. We both know you can’t stay away. So ready your sword, clean your pistol, and watch out for that dog - he might be small, but he’s unreasonably vicious. 

Adventure across a realm of brutal violence, corrupting magic, monstrous foes, and desperate heroes, where fortune can turn on a single roll of the dice and survival is never guaranteed. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fifth Edition builds on the award-winning ruleset, refining the experience while capturing everything that makes Warhammer Fantasy legendary. Gather your party, choose your path, and prepare to face the grim and perilous reality of the World of Legend.

The Empire’s great cities stand as beacons of civilisation amid thick forests and a threatening wilderness. Its people face dangers from beyond their walls, from Beastmen and Goblins in the wilds to criminals, corrupt institutions, and insidious cults within. Chaos is never far away, and those who venture into the wider world soon discover that survival is rarely guaranteed. 

This 378 page rulebook includes:

• Five distinct Character types. Whilst most folk in the World of Legend are human, they share their lands with stoic dwarfs and garrulous halflings and receive visitors from the wood elf realms and high elf kingdoms.

• 64 distinct careers, representing the way of life your Character follows when not adventuring.

• A guide to the major religions and the miracles performed by their Priests.

• Spells from several different magical traditions.

• A bestiary of foes, both common and scarce.

• Advice on running games as a GM.

• Streamlined rules for combat, pursuits, diseases, and other perilous phenomena.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has provided gamers with a rich and detailed setting of perilous adventure and deadly threats for over 40 years. With a wealth of supporting material, including scenarios, campaigns, setting books, and player resources available from Cubicle 7, there’s plenty to keep a gaming group adventuring for years.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fifth Edition Rulebookis available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
