Revision as of 13:50, 23 January 2016
This Creature Creation Table is for use in making your own creatures in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It is made directly to work with Warhammer 40,000/Chapter Approved/Creature Feature, which is just the updated Creature Feature from the good ole days. These tables are mainly for /tg/ just to make some random creatures for 40k tabletop, not Dark Heresy. It goes over background and characteristics before going into the statistics. It's currently still a work in progress.

Roll a single D3 for each additive attribute received. Rolls of 1 apply it once, 2 apply it twice, 3 apply it 3 times.
Creature Abilities
For this section, keep in mind that Small to Medium Creatures may spend up to 25 points of upgrades whilst Large Creatures may spend up to 50 points, but no ability may be chosen more than once. You can always roll to see if you continue spending these points if you wish, but for the sake of simplicity we'll spend as much of the 25 points and as much of the 50 points we are allowed too on upgrades.
| Abilities (1xd35 until points run out)(points cost corresponds as (s/m/l).
A "-" denotes that ability isn't usable by that size type) |
