Introduction & How to Use This Document Introduction:

The abandonment of the Dark Heresy Beta 2.3 gave immediacy to the project. I had become

enamored with the rule set, convinced that 40k RPGs were developing in a more mechanically

progressive direction. While I certainly dont claim to have finished the Beta, I would like to think that Ive made some patches to the rule set, for the time being. This is only version 0.2, and not a full release. The purpose of this document, as it currently exists, is to provide a better structure for

running games of my own. However, I would like to share this with the Dark Heresy community as

well, in order to show that at least some support is being shown for this under developed system.

Id also like you to understand that the only criticism I have for Fantasy Flight Games is that they listened to their fan community too much. I wont extrapolate on that here (I did, and it ended up as a five page essay that will likely be published on Dark Reign, for those interested) for the sake of

space. I recognize that the company was trying to lead one of their most established lines in a

progressive direction and I certainly consider that to be a noble endeavor, regardless of the

organizations current decisions.

While I cant say Ill be participating in the latest edition of Dark Heresy, I am pleased for the fans who received what they wanted from FFG.

As far as I am concerned, however, I paid $20 and received an updated and improved version of

Dark Heresy. I have every intention of continuing to support this iteration of the system and I

encourage the community to do so as well. For those who cite backwards compatibility as an excuse

for discarding this rule set, I would argue that any competent GM could convert the systems

implemented in any of the 40kRPGs into this system. Because of that, I will likely shy away from

direct conversions of pre-existing projects and will focus on releasing more setting specific content

for the Calixis Sector and Scintilla, specifically. I have an alternate Radicals Handbook in the works, that will primarily focus on the Radicals tendency to sacrifice their humanity in order combat inhuman threats. It is designed to create a higher-power early game for Dark Heresy that

leaves characters in absolute shambles after a while, but I feel that it emphasizes the mechanics of

being a radical nicely. I do not have an ETA for that supplement, but I will likely release it once Ive done a more comprehensive revision of the Living 2.3 Beta.

I would enjoy any and all feedback on these rules, as they are still in development. Comments and

criticisms can either be e-mailed to me at Jordan.voltz@yahoo.com or posted on Dark Reigns Dark Heresy Beta sub-forum ( http://darkreign.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=177 ) for discussion with

the community.

Dark Heresy Living 2.3 lives on!

Thank you,

Jordan Voltz

How to Use This Document:

I wont hide it- this document is essentially a 50 page errata for a system that was never formally published in any print form. My best recommendation is to print them both out at your local print

shop for consultation throughout the game. You can save difficulty in running the revision by

pasting this documents updated charts into your physical copy of the Dark Heresy Living 2.3.

Players should, at the very least, understand the general function of the rules that apply to them, as

well as the core changes to the system.

Im always open to suggestions regarding the format of this document.

Ezra Kainus Rules Revisions and 2.3 Errata

Chapter 1: Playing the Game

Pg. 13- Test Modifiers +d & -d: Add the following after Test Modifiers,

+d & -d Whenever the character receives a +d or d to a test, he may roll a number of additional tens dice on this test indicated by the bonus (+2d = 2 additional dice, -d = 1 additional dice) and pick either

the most favorable or least favorable result, depending upon the type of bonus given. Whenever a

character is given a +d to a test, he may pick the most favorable result. If the character is given a d to a test, he must take the least favorable result. These bonuses negate each other, so being given a -

2d and a +d on a roll effectively means that the character rolls one additional tens dice and must

take the least favorable result.

Example: Karon is Debilitated and is attempting to make an attack against a Cultist in Point-Blank

Range with his Autopistol. Debilitated confers a d penalty while Point-Blank Range confers a +2d bonus. This essentially means that he rolls one additional tens dice and may pick the most favorable result. He rolls a 40 and 70 on his tens dice, and a 3 on his ones dice.. If he desires, he may take the 40

instead of the 70 for a final result of 43 on his attack test.

Pg. 14- Assistance: Delete the last sentence of the Assistance entry and replace it with the

following, For each character the rolling character has assisting him, the test receives a +d modifier. It is up to the GM to determine how many characters are allowed to aid in a given task.

Cell Starting Equipment:

-1 Duffle Bag per Acolyte (Containing): a pair of manacles, a micro-bead, a rebreather, a subdual

weapon, and a set of suitable clothing.

-An Inquisitorial Warrant (Cadre Insignia, etc.) issued and signed by their Inquisitor (per cell).

Furthermore, each Acolyte cell may pick an equipment package, reflecting the nature in which they

wish to go about their mission. If the GM wishes, the Inquisitor may instead select a package based

on the mission. These are listed below.

Choose One:

Infiltration: a Disguise Kit or a Comm-Leech, a Forged ID per Acolyte.

Informant: a Vox-Caster, a Pict-Recorder (Bionically installed, if the character wishes), a Data-Slate

per Acolyte.

If this Elite Advance is taken during Character Creation, the Psyker chooses to have either

the Sanctioned or Unsanctioned Trait. If this Elite Advance is taken after Character Creation,

then the Psyker must take the Unsanctioned Trait. With GM permission, the character may

opt to become Sanctioned later in his career, but his maximum Psy Rating must remain

equal to his Willpower Bonus.

-Delete the final bullet point under Instant Changes.

Pg. 69- Psyker: Under the Cost section of the Psy Rating Sidebar, replace 250 multiplied by his

current Psy Rating value with 100 multiplied by the desired Psy Rating value.

9

Pg. 70- Untouchable: Replace the entire Elite Advance Entry with the following:

Untouchable

Experience Cost: Free.

Prerequisites:

A Void in the Warp: Characters with the Psyker trait cannot gain the Untouchable elite advance.

GM Guidance: Psychic Untouchables are incredibly rare, and often live lonely and short lives due

to the effect they have on all living beings that get near them. This advance should ideally be done

as part of character creation, given that it is something the character is born with, but could

possibly be something added later once the effects of the genetic curse become impossible to

ignore. It is recommended that each play group have only one character with the Untouchable elite

advance. Additionally, groups with both an Untouchable and a Psyker can often cause many

problems as the Untouchable interferes with the Psykers ability. This can be a great opportunity

for interesting player interaction, but GMs should be careful to not allow their players to create a

hostile play environment.

Instant Changes:

Can no longer gain the Psyker trait for any reason.

Gains the Resistance (Psychic Powers) and Soulless talents.

Reduce the characters Fellowship Bonus by 1. Suffers a 20 penalty to all Fellowship tests

involving anyone who has the Psyniscience skill at Rank 1 or higher.

Can never gain nor benefit from the positive or negative effects of Psychic Powers or any other

related talents, traits, or abilities that call on the Warp for power.

Automatically ignore any effects resulting from Perils of the Warp.

Pg. 70- Untouchable Talents: Replace the following talents with its new description:

-Psychic Null: Replace the Effect description with The characters gains a +20 bonus when making

Evade (WP) tests against psychic attacks and when making opposed tests to resist psychic powers.

This talent stacks with Resistance (Psychic Powers) and can be purchased multiple times; each time

this is done increase the bonus by +10.

-Warp Anathema: Replace the Effect description with Characters affected by Warp Disruption

reduce their Psy Rating by 2, instead of the normal amount. This talent can be purchased multiple

times; each time this is done so the reduction in Psy Rating increases by 2. If purchased 3 times, for

example, the reduction would be 8.

-Warp Disruption: Replace the Effect description with All characters with a Psy rating within

WPB meters of the character reduce their base Psy rating by 2 while they remain within range.

Characters reduced to a Psy rating of 0 cannot use any psychic powers.

10

Chapter III: Skills

Pg. 73- Skill Ranks- Rank 0: Add the following as a Sidebar

Rank 0: While a skill at Rank 1 demonstrates a characters lack of training in a skill, a skill at Rank 0 depicts

a character who not only lacks the necessary training, but is also inherently disadvantaged at

performing the skill. These likely stem from the environments in which the character was raised- a

Feral Worlder with Rank 0 Tech-Use is not an uncommon sight.

Characters with Rank 0 in a skill take a -20 penalty to tests using this skill and may not use

Specialties with this Skill.

It costs 200 XP to upgrade this skill from Rank 0 to Rank 1, regardless of whether or not the

character has the Talented (Skill or Characteristic) Trait for the skill.

Pg. 80-Evade: Evade has a new Skill Use, Martyr, listed below.

Martyr: Characteristic: Weapon Skill/ Agility

Type: Reaction

Average Time: 1 AP

Use: A character can make an Evade (WS or A) test whenever an unwilling or willing target has a

successful attack test made against him. This is done before Hit Locations are determined, but

before the target decides to take any Reactions.

If the Evade test succeeds, the martyring character is hit with the full force of the attack, and is

unable to take the Evade action until the start of his next turn. Apply damage to the Hit Location(s)

of the character instead of the target.

If the target is unwilling, than it may perform a Disruptive Blow Reaction against the character.

Reattempt: This test cannot be re-attempted and the character cannot use the Evade skill until the

start of his next turn.

Pg. 81- Dodge: Remove using a ranged weapon from the first sentence of the Use entry.

Pg. 86- First Aid: Replace the Average Time entry with 3 AP.

-Replace the Use entry with A character can make a Medicae (A) test on a character who has been

wounded in the last ten minutes to perform first aid on that characters wounds, quickly attempting

to lessen the immediate damage from a lasgun blast or chainsword cut. If he succeeds, the character

can either remove a single wound from the character. This does not remove any wound effects

applied by the wound.

-Replace the Re-attempt entry with First aid cannot be reattempted on the same character unless

that character suffers a new wound, and can only be attempted on a character who has suffered a

wound in the last ten minutes.

Pg. 89- Psyniscience: Unless the character possesses the Psyker Trait at Character Creation,

Psyniscience begins as a Rank 0 skill and cannot be advanced further.

Pg. 93- Sleight of Hand: Replace second line with Average Time: 1 AP.

Pg. 94-Tech Use: Add the following as a third paragraph A characters Rank in Tech-Use also

determines the weapons that he is proficient with. See Weapon Tiers in the Armory chapter.

starting talent to the talent you wish your character to possess.

This can only be done for Basic Talent Trees (Talent Trees in the Living 2.3 Core Rulebook)

-Delete all mention of Weapon Proficiency Talents.

-Add the title Basic Talent Tree beneath the entry for each Talent Tree

Pg. 100- Coordinated Interrogation: Replace the Experience Cost entry with 200xp.

position, Prerequisites, and costs of Duelist and Crushing Blow, as well as Combat Master and

Lightning Attack.

*Blessing xp cost with 400xp.

Pg. 119- Technology Talents Tree: Luminen Arc should state 400xp, not 600xp.

Pg. 128- Overcharge (Characteristic): Add the following new Trait.

Overcharge (Characteristic) Effect: As a Reaction or a Free Action, a character with the Overcharge (Characteristic) Trait may

gain up to 4 points of Fatigue (represented by X) in order to gain +X to that characteristics bonus

for 10 rounds (One minute).

This can only be done for characteristics in which the character has the Overcharge ability. Keep in

mind that if the character Overcharges Toughness or Willpower, his Fatigue Threshold temporarily

increases as well, effectively nullifying any Fatigue that has been gained by Overcharging these

characteristics for 10 rounds.

If the character has the Overcharge (Strength) Trait, for every Fatigue point the character gains, he

may reduce the AP required to use the Brace Heavy Weapon Action by, 1 in lieu of gaining a bonus

to Strength.

Pg. 128-Resilient (X): Add the following Trait,

Resilient (X) Effect: Characters with this trait are exceptionally harder to kill due to their tough physique, thick

chitin, or plot armor. The (X) trait of this talent contributes this number of wounds to the Wound

Threshold of the target. This stacks with any Wound Threshold that would be granted from Size.

Pg. 129- Sanctioned: Add the following to the Sanctioned Effect: Any psyker with this Trait may

not have their Psy Rating exceed their Willpower Bonus. This character gains +d to any Deny the

Witch tests.

a Malignancy. Whenever a character with this Trait increases their Psy Rating, they gain a number

of Corruption equal to their desired Psy Rating.

14

Chapter V: Armoury

Pg. 130- Requisition Points Add the following under Acquiring Items:

-Requisition Points: At the beginning of each session each character gains a number of Requisition Points (RP) equal to

their Influence Bonus. At the start of the session, if the character has less RP than his Influence

Bonus, his RP is replenished up to his Influence Bonus.

However, if the characters RP equals or exceeds his Influence Bonus, then the character may make

an Influence test. If he succeeds, then he gains 2 RP at the start of the session. If he fails, he only

gains 1 RP.

These Requisition Points can be spent to acquire gear and services without having to make an

Influence check to do so. Consult the following chart for the cost/availability of each item. If a

character attempts to acquire an item in poor (1) quality, instead of reducing the availability by 10,

it costs 1 less RP. Similarly, if a character attempts to acquire an item in best (3) quality, instead of

increasing the availability by 10, it costs 1 more RP.

A Requisition Point can also be spent to decrease the amount of Influence lost by Excessive or

Reckless Use of Influence by 1 and up to the entirety of the result.

Requisition Points can be further spent in to increase a characters Influence characteristic by 5 for

a single Influence test.

Req.

Pg. 131- Ammunition Acquisition (New System)

Add the following after The Requisition Test

Ammo Requisition: GM Choose either Simulated or Abstracted systems: Simulated:

When acquiring ammunition for a weapon, consult the Weapons Tier and the following chart:

Ammo Requisition Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 Tier 5

1 RP 3 - - - -

2 RP 6 2 - - -

3 RP 9 4 2 1 -

4 RP 12 6 4 2 1

-The resulting number is the amount of clips that the character may purchase for his weapon by

spending the corresponding amount of Requisition Points. Weapons with a Tier of 0 do not need to

pay any RP in order to acquire ammo- it is assumed that they are found or are able to be easily

crafted (+20 Tech-Use Repair test per 20).

-When making an Acquisition or Requisition test to acquire ammunition, add the Availability

modifier of the weapon which the character is acquiring ammunition for to his Influence

characteristic. The amount of Degrees of Success gained on this test is equal to the amount of Clips

for that weapon which he is able to Requisition.

-Autocannons count as Tier 3 Weapons

-At the start of every session, it is recommended that players have the opportunity to gain 3-4

additional RP instead of 1-2.

-Custom Ammunition: When acquiring custom ammunition, add the first digit of the weapons Avl. to

the weapons Tier.

Abstracted:

Characters are always counted as having enough ammunition to reload their weapons. They are

considered to have replenished their ammunition during their downtime. This system works for

games in which ammunition management is considered dramatically minute to the rest of the

action.

Whenever acquiring Custom Ammunition, the character spends a number of Requisition Points

equal to the tens digit of the Ammunitions Availibility for a single clip.

16

Pg. 132-Weapon Tiers: (New System)

Add the following before the Weapon Profile section,

Weapon Tiers Weapons are grouped into tiers based upon their relative level of power and rarity, Tier 1 being the

most common weapons, while Tier 4 are elusive, powerful instruments of death. These Tiers are

used for determining whether or not a character can use a weapon, Ammunition Requisition, and

Weapon Variations. The tiers are as follows:

Tier 0: Low-Tech (Ranged and Melee)

Tier 1: Solid Projectile, Las, Chain

Tier 2: Shock, Bolt, Flame, Launcher

Tier 3: Power, Force, Melta

Tier 4: Plasma, Exotic

-Weapons with the Heavy type count as one tier higher than they typically are.

-Weapons with the Light type count as one tier lower than they typically are.

-A Character is able to use any non-Exotic weapon, provided that his Rank in Tech-Use is equal to or

exceeds the weapons Tier. If this is not so, the character suffers a -20 penalty to all attack tests to

use this weapon. Furthermore, if the character is using an Exotic weapon, they must have the

appropriate Exotic Weapon Proficiency Talent or suffer the -20 penalty.

Special Rules: Pg. 134- Felling: Delete the (X) from the title. This weapon quality does not scale.

Pg. 134- Flame (X): Replace the last sentence with If the target fails this test, he gains the Burning

(3 x X) condition.

Pg. 134- Flexible: Add the following to the end of the Flexible entry However, Evade (WS) tests

cannot be made with this weapon to deflect incoming attacks.

Pg. 136- Melta: Replace the last sentence with When fired at a target within half the range of the

weapon or used in melee, the penetration value of the weapon counts as twice the normal value.

Pg. 136- Overcharge: Add (X) to the overcharge title. Replace the second-to-last sentence in

Overcharge with When in standard mode, the weapon uses its normal profile; when in overcharge

mode, the weapon deals +X damage but gains the Single-shot quality and expends twice the

amount of ammunition it normally expends per shot if the weapon uses ammunition.

Pg. 136- Piercing: Delete the Piercing weapon quality.

Pg. 136- Pinning: Add the following new Weapon Quality after the entry for Overheats.

Pinning:

Whenever a target is hit by a weapon with the Pinning quality, they must make a -10 Fear

(Cowering) test and suffer the effects of the result. Pg. 137- Smoke: Delete the Smoke weapon quality.

Pg. 137- Subdual: Add the following new Weapon Quality after the entry for Smoke.

Subdual:

. Whenever a target would be dealt a wound by this weapon, he suffers fatigue instead. For each

point of damage that exceeds the targets Defense Value, he suffers a point of fatigue.

Acolytes can continue afresh.

Value: 100xp

Prerequisites: Toughness 30

Action: Half Action

Focus Power: Challenging (+0) Willpower test

Range: 1 metre

Sustained: No

Subtype: Concentration

Effect: The psyker can remove a number of levels of Fatigue from himself and allies within range,

also roll 2d10 when rolling for initiative and use the one dice with the lowest result for his initiative

roll.

Pg. 196- Initiative: Add the following after the second sentence of the first paragraph This roll can

be modified by situational factors such as Surprise (see Surprise below).

character must also roll 2d10 when rolling for initiative and use the one dice with the lowest result

for his initiative roll.

Pg. 198-Called Shot: Delete the second sentence in the Use section.

Pg. 200- Ready Action: Replace last sentence with This can also be used to holster a weapon, coat

a blade in poison, inject a stimm or other drug, and other minor actions.

Pg. 202- Range Modifiers: Add the following in a Sidebar:

Range Modifiers: -Short Range: If the character are within 10 meters of his target and is attacking with a Ranged

Weapon, the character may gain a +d when rolling to hit.

-Point-Blank Range: If the character is within 1-3 meters of his target and is attacking with a

Ranged Weapon, the character may gain +2d and pick the most favorable result

-If the character is within Short or Point Blank range, he can take a d penalty in order to count as

having made a Called Shot action on any Hit Location. The character cannot do this unless he is

within Short Range of the target.

Pg. 202- Determine Hit Locations: Replace Table 7-2 Hit Locations with the following table

1d10 Roll Location Hit

1 Head

2 Right Arm

Pg. 203- Wound Multiplier: Add the following beneath the Compare Damage and Defence entry

under the Step 5- Attack Results section.

Wound Multiplier: Whenever the character deals damage to a target equal to or in excess of their Defence value, they

are dealt a wound. Consult the proper wound effect charts (or dont, if thats your thing- I like em,

personally). Furthermore, if the character deals damage in excess of the targets Defence value,

determine how many times the damage is divisible by the targets Defence value. This is referred to

as a Wound Multiplier and it indicates how many wounds the target suffers from the characters

attack.

Whenever a target has 6 Wounds inflicted upon him, he gains the Unconscious and Blood Loss (15)

Conditions.

26

For Example: Caradoc Magnus is shooting with his Sniper Rifle at a Heavy with a Heavy Stubber.

Caradoc rolls to hit and succeeds! After determining that his shot hits the head of the Heavy (Defence

Value of 7), he factors in his Snipers Pen Rating of 6, reducing the Heavy Stubbers Defence Value to 4.

He rolls a pair of 7s for a total of 14 damage. Since the Heavys Defence Value factors into Caradocs

damage 3 times, he suffers 3 Wounds (and then may consult the Wound Condition chart, if they would

like to)

Note: One of the main reasons for this change is to encourage enemies to seek cover! Pen does not go

through Cover!

Pg. 203-Wound Threshold: Add the following after the Apply Wound Effects entry,

Wound Threshold: This threshold is the amount of wounds the target can take before giving the +5 bonus on the

Wound Condition chart and counting towards the maximum 6 wounds that a target can have. Most

people do not have a Wound Threshold- they immediately suffer the effects of any wounds they

take.

Size gives a character a bonus to his Wound Threshold equal to 2 x the characters Size Rating.

The Resilient (X) Trait also contributes to his Wound Threshold, where the (X) designates the

amount of wounds added to his Wound Threshold

Pg. 205- Fatigue and Debilitated: Replace the second paragraph under Effects of Fatigue with the

following, Whenever the character has a number of Fatigue equal to half of his Fatigue Threshold,

he gains the Debilitated Condition.

Pg. 208- Burning: Replace the last sentence of the Start of Turn entry with He then doubles X.

-Replace the Putting it Out entry with A burning character or an ally engaged with the character in

melee can attempt to extinguish the flames by spending 2 AP and making a +20 Agility test. The

burning character becomes Prone and, if the test succeeds, loses the burning condition.

Pg. 208- Debilitated: Add a new Condition:

Debilitated: Any tests that the character takes while having this condition require him to gain a d to all tests.

The bonuses received from Short Range and Point Blank range can offset this penalty by their given

amount. This penalty can be avoided by spending an additional Action Point on every action taken

that turn.

Pg. 203- Optional Wound Chart Rules: Add the following after the Inflict Conditions entry,

Wound Chart Optional Rules: (Optional Rule: Simplified Wound Charts)

Only consult the wound charts after all the wounds except for the last one have been dealt,

Factoring in the wounds the target currently has plus the amount of damage he received from the

final attack.

(Optional Rule: Even Simpler Wound Charts)

As above except do not factor in the excess damage and do not wait until before the final wound is

dealt. Instead, after all wounds have been dealt, take the amount of wounds the target has and

27

multiply it by 5. Do this only if the target has suffered a Wound. Using this number, consult the

Wound Effects chart for the appropriate number.

(Optional Rule: No Wound Charts)

Simply do not consult the Wound Charts. After a target receives 6 Wounds, they are dead.

(Optional Rule: Inquisified Wounds)

(This system is inspired by Simsum on the Dark Reign forums.)

Whenever a wound would be dealt, note it next to the Hit Location (a tally mark is fine). Consult the

following charts instead of the Wound Condition Charts in order to determine the condition that

the character gains. When a character suffers a wound to a Hit Location, he suffers the listed effects

based upon how many Wounds he has, in total, on that Hit Location. If a target suffers more than

one Wound from a single attack, than he suffers the effects of each wound that is dealt to him for

the respective Hit Location.

-Once a character reaches 6 Wounds, they gain the Unconscious, Blood Loss (1d10+5) Conditions.

-Fatigue Thresholds are TB+WPB+2. (Potentia Coil makes this TB+WPB+4)

-Elite Targets count Arm Locations and Leg Locations as collective Wound Charts. When dealing

with Lost or Crippled Limbs, the chosen limb is always the one that was the target of the attack,

-Resilient (X) Trait prevents the first (X) Wounds that a target would suffer. BODY WOUND CHART

Chapter VIII: Narrative Tools

Pg. 229- Social Encounters: Replace the last sentence with More details on social encounters can be found on page 240. Pg. 231- Covertly Using Influence: Add the following beneath the Influence entry,

Covertly Using Influence When using Influence covertly, the character suffers a -20 penalty to his Influence test. If he

likely accomplished this use of his Influence indirectly, moving through other parties or slightly
