To get the most out of The Creature Guide, players may wish to

acquire the Creature Vault component boxed set, which includes a

Creature Vault

variety of new cards, sheets, and components for the Game Master.

Some of these resources supplement the content found in other

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay products.

C haPter o ne

r ules & r esourC es

The Creature Guide and the Creature Vault do more than just

expand the bestiary with more creatures the PCs may encounter

over the course of their adventures—they also provide a new,

convenient format for Game Masters to manage creatures, as well

as some additional rules and information to create more dynamic,

engaging encounters.

C ore C larifiCation s

The following questions and answers clarify some of the creature

management tasks and rules that the GM may wish to consider to

better manage encounters.

C an nPC s anD M onsters sPenD a ggression or

C unning DiCe to MoDify i nitiative rol l s ?

Yes. If it is a physical encounter or combat where initiative is deter-

mined by Agility then NPCs/creatures can spend dice from their

Aggression budget to add fortune dice to an Initiative roll.

If it is a social encounter or other encounter where Fellowship de-

termines initiative, then the NPCs/creatures can spend dice from

their Cunning budget to add fortune dice to an initiative roll.

C an the gM sPenD an eneMy ’ s a ggression

or C unning buDget to resist an at taCk or

aCtion whiCh is not an oPPoseD CheCk ?

Yes, the GM can spend an NPC’s Aggression and Cunning dice to

make incoming attacks and actions more challenging, if the NPC

in question is a direct target of the effect.

D o nPC s anD M onsters gain a

Cr when rePlaCing their Default

at taCk with a sPeCifiC weaPon ?

Yes. The overall threat and “critical value” of NPCs and monsters is

accounted for in their selection of actions. If the default values for

the entry’s Damage, Defence, and Soak are replaced with normal

equipment, then the GM should feel free to use all the related stats,

including Critical Rating and any special rules or qualities that

equipment has.

Aggression dice are spent to modify a physical action, such as a

melee attack. Cunning dice are spent to modify a mental action,

such as a spell or Guile check. Each die spent from the correspond-

ing budget adds ∆ to the check.
