	~~So far~~, ~~all that we know is that~~ it~~'s going~~ back to the classic d% system started by [[Dark Heresy]] (and they do mention it...but only that it was started by Black Industries and skipping over the stewardship that [[Fantasy Flight Games]] held for the near-decade since that first book) and their own work on [[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]] 4th Edition. For the most part this game ~~seems to be channeling~~ the same feel of DH, an investigation-centric game with the players acting as lackeys for some higher power in the Imperium, though not always the [[Inquisition]].

	With the reveal of the [https://cubicle7games.com/blog/warhammer-40-000-roleplay-imperium-maledictum-character-sheet-blog character sheet], we can see that the similarities to the older FFG line is a lot clearer, though the skills list have been condensed to a degree and the inclusion of Specialties (Maybe for something like advanced skills). Influence is no longer some currency stat either, instead being converted into a friendliness chart between the various factions you'll run into.

			**While rarity still exists, this only alters how likely you are to find it and how much it might be worth to get.

The former adds +1 DoS to your BS test to shoot, the latter makes it either deal extra damage or gain the ''Spread'' quality to hit multiple targets. This makes bolters in particular extremely powerful thanks to this and their high penetration value.		* Ammo is...unusual, to say the least.

	** All ~~standard~~ ammo ~~costs 10% of the base weapon's cost.
