Warhammer 40.000: Dark Heresy / Schattenjäger
A science fantasy role-playing game based on the Warhammer 40¸000 miniatures games¸ set in the 41st millenium where humanity is organized under the Imperium - a reactionary feudal state of millions of worlds¸ whose leader the Emperor is worshipped as a living god. The players are acolytes of the Inquisition fighting perceived enemies of mankind including aliens¸ mutants¸ and heretics. It uses a variant of theWarhammer Fantasy RPGsystem. There are eight career paths: Adept¸ Arbitrator¸ Assassin¸ Cleric¸ Guardsman¸ Imperial Psyker¸ Scum¸ and Tech-Priest. Advancement for characters is via a pre-defined career path called ranks. As the character advances they may be presented with some career rank choices but these are almost chosen beforehand by the character's previous skill and talent choices¸ and how the player has played the character. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
