T he Kingdom of Bretonnian is defended by heroic knights bound by

a sacred code of honour and chivalry. In order to become a knight, a

young man must prove himself worthy of the honour by

accomplishing a feat of arms. He may be the son of a knight or even

a lowly peasant. but he must earn his knighthood by a brave and

noble deed.

the Lake is the goddess of Bretonnian chivalry. the guardian angel of

honour and all that is good and noble. She is a magical, ethereal

being who only ever appears to the purest and bravest knights, and

then only after they have endured and overcome the greatest perils in

her service. When, finally, she appears. legend has it that she will

allow them a sip from the Grail cup she bears, before she disappears

once more. This holy chalice overflows with pure earth magic. Any

knight who sips from the Grail becomes awesome and invincible. It

is the greatest of honours and the greatest of blessings! Many seek

her, but few succeed.

According to the ancient customs of Bretonnian. whenever a domain

of the realm lacks a knight, the fairest damsel in the village must

appoint a perilous task, which is often to slay a fearsome monster.

This task is known as the Errand of Knighthood. and whoever comes

forward to attempt the task is invested as a Knight Errant. He must

ride forth in borrowed armour to succeed in his allotted task or die in

the attempt!

A Questing Knight bears the blazon of the Fleur de Lys upon his

shield; it is the Lady of the Lake's emblem, a magic lilly which grows

where she appears. He then rides forth guided only by visions.

dreams and tantalising glimpses at the lady through the deepest

forests and most hostile wilderness. He must slay Orcs. Dragons and

countless other foes, fight duels with Chaos Knights and resist all

manner of worldly temptations. If he is true to his Quest. he will one

day find his way to a hidden glade and behold the Lady appearing

from the rising mist of a sacred lake. If he is worthy. he will be

allowed to drink from the Grail- Then he will return to dwell in a

Grail Chapel, guarding its ancient relics and ready to challenge any

enemy of all that is good and pure. He will be permitted to bear upon

his shield the image of the Grail. Now all will know he is a Grail

Knight.

If the Knight Errant succeeds in his task and returns victorious. he

earns for himself the honour of knighthood and wins the hand of the

damsel and the right to live in a castle He is dubbed a Knight if the

Realm and bears a representation of the monster's head on his shield

as his heraldic blazon and crest Then for many years he serves his

liege lord, the king. and defends the realm against all threats.

The life of a Knight of the Realm is full of heroism and chivalry, but

there are some knights for whom that is not enough. They seek yet

more honour. yet more tests of their piety. yet more fearsome perils

to overcome. When sons are grown to manhood and ready to become

Knights Errant in their own right, their father will sometimes

relinquish his lands and take up the Grail Quest. Some younger

knights, thirsting for honour, may even take up the quest as soon as

they film their knighthood and nobly refuse to accept a castle and

lands!

There are many Questing Knights roaming far and wide across the

Old World on their Grail Quest. Each one sees every peril, every

adventure as a challenge and a test of his knightly virtues. He knows

that every opportunity to prove himself worthy of the Grail is a task

sat for him by the Lady herself, and success may lead him nearer to

her. Such a knight will readily join with a band of adventurers

seeking to delve into the perilous chambers of a dungeon or

anywhere else where monsters lurk and sacred relics await discovery!

Such knights become Questing Knights. They make solemn vows to

serve the Lady of the Lake and seek for her sacred Grail. The Lady of

· INTRODUCTION ·

This pack contains everything you need to introduce a new Warrior -

the Bretonnian Questing Knight - to your games of Warhammer

Quest. Including his Warrior card, Warrior counter. Equipment card.

a rulebook, any special cards and a Citadel miniature to represent the

Warrior himself.

Remember too that if there is not a Barbarian in the party, then one of

the other Warriors will have to carry the lantern and be the leader.

This rulebook is split into three sections: a basic Warhammer Quest

section, an Advanced Warhammer Quest section, and a Roleplay

section.

BIGGER GROUPS OF WARRIORS

If you want to, you can take more than four Warriors into an

adventure, but you will have to male sure that there are enough

Monsters to go round! The cards and tables from the Warhammer

Quest game are based on there being four Warriors. so of you have

fifteen different Warriors in the party, then the game as it stands will

present no challenge at all! As a general rule, stick to parties of four

Warriors, but if you have a party of five or six, then increase the

number of Monsters by an equal proportion.

The Warhammer Quest rules contain ate the rules for using this

Warrior in your games. The Advanced rulebook covers the rules for

progression of the Warrior through the Battle-levels. Including spells,

skills or special rules. and the final section is a guide to using the new

Warrior in the Roleplay system.

RULES FOR WARHAMMER QUEST

If you wish you may replace one of the Warriors from the

Warhammer Quest flame for the Bretonnian Questing Knight, The

rules which follow explain how to use the Questing Knight in your

games, Remember to put the Warrior counter in the box, replacing it

with the counter for the Questing Knight!

For example. It you have six Warriors in the party. that is 50% more

Warriors then the Event cards are set up to deal with. In this case.

you should make sure that each time Monsters appear. there are 50%

more of them. If the card says '1D6 Orcs', roll the dice as usual and

then multiply this result upwards to match the party size - so a dice

roll of four Orcs becomes six Orcs. and so on.

· STARTING AS A QUESTING KNIGHT ·

Any player may start the game as a Questing Knight rather than one

of the Warriors in the Warhammer Quest box. All the rules for

creating a new character apply unless stated elsewhere in this

character pack

WOUNDS

The Questing Knight begins with 1D6+7 Wounds, if you roll any 1's,

when rolling Wounds, you can re-roll, but if the dice comes up with 1

a second time, you must keep it.

The Questing Knight's profile is as follows

Wounds

1D6+7

Move

WEAPONS

The Questing Knight has sworn an oath to always fight in a fair and

just manner. As a result, no will never use any form of missile

weapon, but will always seek to engage his foe in land-to-hand

combat.

Weapon Skill

Ballistic Skill

6 +

Strength

3 (6)

Toughness

3 (5)

The Knight starts the game with a mighty Broadsword. When he

wields this it adds +3 to his Strength for determining Wounds,

making a total of 1D6+6 Wounds- The Knight is trained from youth

to wield the Broadsword. so does not suffer any to hit penalty as

other Warriors would .

Initiative

Attacks

Pinning Roll

Wielding the Broadsword while wearing Knightly Armour is very

tiring, and if the Knight strikes and kills a monster with one blow, the

death-blow is resolved as follows. If the death-blow hits and kills the

next monster. It will carry on as usual. However, if it continues

against the next monster, and the beast has a Toughness 3 or more,

the Knight counts -1 on his next to hit roll, before resolving damage

as usual. If this kills the monster. the Knight's to hit roll against the

next monster in the way of his death-blow is made at -2. and so on (-

3, -4, etc). Any monster in the sequence with a Toughness less than 3

does not impose a penalty.

EQUIPMENT

The Questing Knight starts the game with a Questing Favour. This is

a magical token given to him by a fair damsel of Bretonnia in the

hope of bringing him luck in the Quest to come.

At the start of each adventure, roll one dice and look up the result on

the table on the card to see whose favour the Knight has been

fortunate enough to receive. The Favour's bonuses apply for this

adventure only.

ARMOUR

The Knight wears Knightly Armour, which gives + 1 Toughness. and

carries a Shield. for a further +1 Toughness (so the total protection of

the Knight's armour is +2 Toughness). He may wear certain items of

magical armour, specifically a helm or a shield. but he will not

exchange his Knightly Armour for another suit.

THE KNIGHT'S QUEST

The Knight's Quest is to find and recover a lost relic from the

dungeon. Roll one dice before the adventure starts to see what kind

of relic he seeks:

1-2

Magic Sword

3-4

Magic Amour

5-6

Magic item

If any treasure is found in the dungeon, and it is of the kind which the

Knight seeks. roll one dice to see if it is indeed the actual relic. On a

score of 5+ it is the very relic and the Knight can rightfully claim it.

If he already has his fair share of treasure. he can leave one item

behind to obtain the required relic. or swap an item for the relic with

another Warrior The Warrior with whom he is swapping will be so

impressed by the rightness of the Knight's Quest that they will hand it

over without argument. The Knight will not be able to use this item

(to fight with, say. In the case of a magic sword). for he has been

charged to return it safely. Other. ordinary treasure items are treated

normally.

· ADVANCED RULES ·

KNIGHTS AND TREASURE

The Knight may use a weapon other than the Broadsword as long as

a is either a sword, an axe or a mace. It is dishonourable for the

Knight to use missile weapons, magic other than magical hand-to-

hand weapons, magic armour or a healing potion.

Cowardly Blow

If the Knight slays a Monster which has peen reduced to less wounds

than his Battle-level by the other Warriors, the Knight loses D6

Honour Points for every 100 gold that the monster is worth.

Completing an Adventure

If the Knight successfully completes an adventure he gains 1D6 x his

Battle-level in Honour Points.

HONOUR POINTS

The Questing Knight lives by the Code of Chivalry. It is up to you to

play your Knight in an honourable way; there are no rules which

compel you to do a certain act or stop you from doing something.

However, as you go down dungeons, complete adventures and visit

distant lands there will be occasions where your Knight's honourable

behaviour is recognised. In Warhammer Quest. this is represented by

Honour Points

Failing an Adventure

If a Knight ever fails to complete an adventure but survives to fight

another day. his Honour Points are halved!

Using a Missile Weapon

If the Knight breaks the rule of using dishonourable weaponry, such

as a missile weapon of any type. his Honour Point total is

immediately reduced by the gold value of the weapon! This penalty

is applied every time he uses the weapon.

However. If you perform a valiant deed or complete a quest

successfully you gain Honour Points. If you act in a cowardly

manner or perform a dishonourable deed you will lose Honour

Points: maybe even all of them! Keep a record of your Honour Point

total on your Warrior record sheet. Honour Pouts are used to keep a

track of the chivalrous deeds that a Knight has performed and are

used to increase a Knight's chance of success in certain settlement

locations.

Poor Knight

A Knight with no gold is considered shabby and disreputable. If,

during the course of an adventure, the Knight's gold total ever falls to

zero, his Honour Points are halved. If he is away from society. down

a dungeon for example. the Knight will not lose half of his Honour

Points for being a Poor Knight until he arrives at a settlement (with

luck he will have obtained more gold by then).

The Questing Knight may win Honour Points by his valiant actions

or lose them by cowardly actions. He may also win or lose Honour

Points as a result of hazards. events and activities that can occur in a

settlement

When the Knight gains more gold, his Honour Points are not restored

- he must rebuild his Renown through more brave deeds!

Valiant Strike

If the Knight single-handedly slays a monster, the Knight gains 2D6

Honour Points for every 100 gold that the monster is worth. (This

means that if the monster is worth less than 100 gold the Knight

won't gain any Honour Points: if it is worth 100 to 199 gold he gets

2D6 points, and so on). According to the Knight's Code of Chivalry,

there is far greater honour to be gained by slaying the biggest and

most dangerous monsters in single combat. and not much honour at

all in slaying hordes of Gobbos.

Resisting Temptation

There are many temptations in this wicked world for a goodly Knight

to resist! If the Knight visits the Alehouse he loses 2D6 Honour

Points for being seen in such a disreputable place. If the Knight visits

the Gambling House he loses 3D6 Honour Points not only for the

dishonour, but for being a fool!

Of course, sometimes these are risks the Knight will have to take.

RENOWN

Honour Points count towards the Knight's Renown. Renown

represents a particular Knight's reputation throughout the Old World,

his fame, piety and courage - or lack of it The number of Honour

Points which the Knight has gained determines his Renown. Just like

with Honour Points, you should keep a record of your Renown on

your Warrior's record sheet. Your Renown will influence your

chance of success at certain locations and in certain circumstances.

Note that Renown can go down as well as up: a Knight who

continually does dishonourable deeds will soon become scorned by

the common people!

500-999 Honour Points: Widespread Renown

Your fame has spread throughout this part of the land. Nearly

everybody has heard about your brave deeds. Fair damsels bat their

eyelids at you in the street as you approach and call out to you from

windows. You may start to hear songs of your deeds being sung by

minstrels.

1,000 Honour Points or more: Legendary Renown!

You have earned the reputation of a formidable and invincible

Knight. Everyone you meet has heard of you and minstrels stroll

alongside you singing your praises in the street as you go on your

way! If you lift your visor fair damsels rush to kiss you and give you

tokens of their affection. Your way is strewn with flowers scattered

by the townsfolk. All look up to you as a paragon of virtue and

courage.

No Honour Points: Meagre Renown

You are a Knight totally lacking in honour! No one has ever heard of

you and no one knows or cares who you are. Barking dogs and street

urchins follow you about.

1-499 Honour Points: Modest Renown

You have earned the reputation of a brave and honest Knight. The

people in this barony have heard rumours of your exploits and show

due and proper respect as you pass

KNIGHTLY VIRTUE

The Questing Knight has a knightly virtue common to all Bretonnian

Knights- Protected by the Lady of the Lake and sure of the rightness

of his quest, he has a certain protection against Fear and Terror dice

rolls, according to the level of his Renown.
