Warhammer Fantasy RPG: Up in Arms

The Old World is a dangerous place. With the Empire broken from within and threatened by enemies from without, it is only wise to learn the skills of a soldier, or to employ those who have already done so. Some say that living by the sword means dying by the sword, and there is truth in that. But in the wilderness of the Empire, refusing to live by the sword is an even quicker death by the sword. Up in Arms provides options and guidelines for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Characters pursuing warrior careers. It focuses on skills that players and GMs can use to add variety and expertise to the fighting folk of the Old World.
