War Waste"The Emperor destroyed my world in a sea of flame,

and yet he expects me to serve his puppets? I will not servein his name, I will survive so he can not have the satisfactionof my death!"

- Donn, War-waster Regulator

War wasted worlds are the blasted, poisoned ghosts ofonce prosperous worlds where the survivors meek out bleakexistences on the fringes of their now post-apocalypticlandscapes. All war wastes are fundamentally tied by globalscale wars culminating in nuclear, biological, or chemicalsuper weapons wiping out the vast majority of life of theworld. The battle for survival in the horrid conditions of suchworld reshape the remaining population as the world slowlydies around them. Mutation, depravity, and a degenerationof culture are all staples of the war wastes, equally creatinga breeding ground for heresy, mutation, and war-forgedheroes.

Dying on a War Wasted worldThere is no such thing as truly living on a war wastedworld. Rather, death incarnate surrounds those who

pathetically cling to life despite the dying nature of theirworld. Uncontaminated food and water are prized above allother possessions. Cannibalism is a perfectly acceptablealternative to starving, even as it corrupts the mind and soul.Few war wastes can ever hope to recover without externalaid - and those few that do earn the Imperium's efforts torebuild are often wiped clean of 'indigenous' populationsbefore new colonists arrive to ensure tainted bloodlines donot corrupt renovation efforts.

War Waster CharactersMost born on a war waste can loosely fit into two

categories; craven men and women who do not hesitate totake advantage of any situation, or marauders and reavers

who prey upon other survivors. It is a rare soul who canmaintain any semblance of sanity or morality in suchconditions and surrounded by such brazen scum anddegenerates.

Starting Skills: War Waster characters begin with theCommon Lore (War) (Int), Common Lore (Wastelands) (Int)and Survival (Int) as trained Skills.

Primal Endurance:War-wasters know a universal truth -only the strong survive and might makes right. Those whocan survive under such conditions thrive, while those whocannot quickly perish.Benefit:War-wasters treat Search (Per), Navigation(Surface) (Int) and Tracking (Int) as basic skills. They cannotstart the game with Common Lore (Int)(Imperial Creed) and

Common Lore (Int)(Imperium) through any means.

Iron Stomach: Uncontaminated food and water is scarce onwar-wastes and those born on such worlds have developedstronger digestive systems to compensate for thisBenefit: You gain +10 bonus to Carouse skill test made toresist the effects of ingested toxins, poison or tainted foods.

Weary Intuition:War-wasters are a paranoid stock - nevertrusting the motives or deeds of others. There is always an

ulterior motive for any action taken, and anyone can turn onyou when the moment is right. This healthy paranoia hasserved the war-waster well in surviving long.Benefit:All war-wasters gain +1 bonus to Initiative rolls

Tainted Flesh:Plague, radiation contamination, and activebiological weapons are all hallmarks of the war wastes. Few,if any, war wasters are truly untainted by their planet'sexposure to such weapons of mass destruction.

Penalty:War-wasters start the game with 15+3D5Corruption points

Starting Wounds: War Waster characters double theirstarting Toughness Bonus and add 1d5+1 to the result todetermine their starting wounds.

Starting Fate Points: War Wasters begin with a number ofFate Points equal to the tenth digit of their total CorruptionPoints value. Example: A starting character with 24Corruption Points would have 2 Fate Points.

War-Wastes CareersCharacters from Imperial World can take any of the following Career Paths:

AssassinWar-Wastes Assassins are skilled killers and murderers whose natural skill has only been enhanced by their savage

landscapes and lack of external authority restricting their craft. Most assassins belong to numerous death cults that have risen toprominence on such worlds.

ScumScum in the war wastes forms the basis of society in the shattered remains of their world. Beggars, thieves, drifters

and exiles are as common as rad-wastes and no zones and to live on such a world is to inherently have no moral obligations totaking what you can when you can, escaping when caught, and having a quick tongue and quicker trigger finger when all elsefails. Often it is the scum who rises to the top - as chiefs, gang leaders, or conniving their way to power.

ClericIn the aftermath of a planet's destruction, people turn to any voice with a claim to a salvation - imagined or real. It is the

war-wastes clerics that rise up to goad what remains of the populace into whatever scrap of faith is left to galvanize. Whether trueto the Imperial Creed or twisted visionaries, the war-wastes clerics are heralds to their shattered worlds.

GuardsmanWar-Wastes Guardsmen are the remnants of military factions left on the world - warriors forged from the teachings of

planetary defense force survivors, garrisoned troops, and other hold outs. Militant and organized, they are accustomed to lives asraiders and salvagers.

ArbitratorsWar-Wastes Arbitrators are few and far between on their worlds - they are the remnants of the law enforcement the

world once enjoyed. Raised on stories of law and order, these men of justice have little to go on but their own convictions,outdated notions and a loaded gun justifying their aims.

Tech-PriestsTech priests of the war wastes are known more appropriately as techno-barbarians, reclaimators or worse. Their

knowledge is often second-hand, debased, or more horrifying - innovative. They are unparalleled masters of what technologyremains on their world and few can fathom the archaic and esoteric knowledge they weld into weapons of war.

Table 1-2: Generating Random PastsRollD100

Effect

01-20 The Wanderer:You have spent the majority of your life alone, drifting from place to place never able to stay in oneplace very long. Through your travels you have seen the worst the wastes have to offer and survived. You are likely aloner and a man/woman of few words.

21-40 Tribal:

Raised by a tribal group, taught to survive and rely on your closest friends and family and to suspect themotives of outsiders. You are likely reserved or suspect of those you dont know or are unfamiliar, but fiercely loyal tothose you consider your friend.

41-60 A New Beginning:Though the world has died, humanity lives on. You were born and raised in a settlement that hasgrown from a tribe or nomadic group into a permanent collection of shelters, with some sort of law and regulationwhich each person adheres to keep the group alive. For the most part you work better in a group then on your ownand are highly loyal to those closest to you.

61-80 The Weapons of war are just the will of a new god:Raised by cultist or religious extremist. You are loyal to yourcult or religious group, but highly intolerant of outsiders, seeing them as less than worthy.

81-00 Raider:You grew up amongst the assorted wasteland scum fighting for everything you own.You have seen war, betrayal and outstanding loyalty. You cherish your pride, territory and fellow raiders above all.

Wasteland RulesRadiation

In the wastelands there are some places that were hitdirectly by atomic bombs or nuclear reactors that had a

meltdown. These sectors have high radiation levels andcharacters will suffer the consequences. Upon entering suchan area every PC must take a toughness test every hourthey are exposed t o radiation. If the test is failed the PCtakes 1D5 wounds and a level of fatigue unless adequatelyprotected.

Interacting with a Atomic BombDuring the nuclear arms race many warheads were

made, yet not all were detonated during the conflict. Mostremaining were not launched and a few didnt detonate at all.Chances are that you will encounter one during your tripthrough the wasteland. What you do with them is up to you.
