The Rules!
Gore Die
Fights have to be… a terrifying mess, frankly. After all, this is Warhammer, right? When you roll dice for combat, ONE of your dice should have a different color (preferably red). This is the Gore Die. The higher the result on that die, the messier, bloodier, gorier your hit is (if you hit).
Note that a gory, bloody, bloodspraying, disgusting hit will not kill the opponent if he still has cliché dice left – but it might put some kind of negative modifier on his next roll. Only when someone’s cliché dice are reduced to zero, that character dies. To give you a few rough ideas for Gore Die results:
Gore 1: drop weapons, superficial wounds, hits that knock the wind out of you, stumble, bruises, stuns, knockdowns
Gore 2: dislocations, shattered weapons, numb limbs
Gore 3: incapacitated limbs, deep wounds, smashed teeth, broken bones
Gore 4: severed arteries, internal bleeding, spine injuries, gouged out eyes
Gore 5: half a limb lost, organs ruptured
Gore 6: entire limb lost, body parts hacked in half
Gore 7: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, flying body parts, fuck what a mess
Gore 7? How? This is an optional rule: When a character is down to 1 cliché die, the next hit that takes him to his gods counts as Gore Die +3.
Use Chris McDowall’s Risus House Rules.
