Warhammer Historical: Gladiator, house rules & tweaks v.2.0

[Anatoli]

I spent last afternoon updating and rewriting parts of my houserules/tweaks to the Warhammer Historical Gladiator rules.

The original document wasn't as good as I wanted it to be and left out a few things.

In this updated document I have added my take on the Retiarius+Net rules with a new entanglement chart for and effects which are listed in a more accessible manner than how I think the core rulebook has written them.

Also added to the list of Skills and rewrote some of the Perks, added the ability to score hits against multiple opponents with gladiators that have multiple attacks as well as a few other tweaks and ideas that I think were left out from the rules in the first place.

There is also an idea regarding bribes in campaign mode which should be seen more as guidelines as I think players are better off constructing their own campaign framework than following the somewhat confusing and unclear campaign section of the book. The bribes can be used to get a re-roll or force an opponent to re-roll one of his dice when making "Appeal to the crowd" rolls.

Link to full color and printer friendly versions of this document of houserules and tweaks can be found on my blog here:  http://anatolisgameroom.blogspot.se/2012/12/gladiator-house-rules-enhanced-improved.html

Sounds really interesting, Anatoli. Though trying to download the document I only get the cover picture. Or is it just me browsing via phone?

You have to click on either of the two links (Full color or Printer friendly) in the blog post, this leads you to my Google Drive. There you get the online preview of the full document, and are able to download it by clicking "Archive" and the download option or simply pressing Ctrl+S when having the preview open.

The document is 8 pages, don't know if it may be phone related - let me know if you have further problems.

The reason I never post links to my google drive on forums, is that I sometimes revise and upload new versions of the PDF's - in which case it is easier for me to update the blogpost rather than trying to chase down months old and then buried forum posts on the internet.
