Remus Prime Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 That sounds like a neat idea to avoid permadeath and a respawn mechanic to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmetation Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Oh there's permadeath! If a Soulbound dies their soul basically explodes. Nagash can't get it, but they also can't be brought back. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagash can't get it, but they also can't be brought back. What about SCE Soulbound? They also explode and no reforge? Can a Soulbound mortal human be reforged? And idk? Can’t their souls get back into coral? What about Sylvaneth’s lamentiri? Edited October 15, 2019 by Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmetation Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 SCE can't become Soulbound as their souls are already tied to Sigmar. Sylvaneth Soulbound are severed from the lamentiri, which makes it a huge deal for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutton Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 So it's like a team soul-suicide pact. Rather blow themselves up than let someone else nab their souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmetation Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Pretty much! It's definitely more Suicide Squad than Justice League/Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 It's a good way to keep a party of misfits together. There will be some misfits, considering the factions of Order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 So how it will work if we get non-Order characters? Does soulbounding work for them too? And if ScE cannot perform soulbounding then god-specific Chaos Warriors have the same condition as their souls are already owned by their patrons? And is soulbounding necessary for the player characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vecna101 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 please give some flexability for wierder characters, like, I dunno, good necromancers? I've really been bugged by how needlessly restrictive good Vs. evil RPGs tend to be. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death are all bound up Nagash's will, so there's your hook right away. Chaos is... Chaos. Destruction is where I'm curious about how it will work.

EccentricCircle Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Its interesting that "Soulbound" seems to be a subheading to "Warhammer Age of Sigmar Roleplay" That can sometimes mean that different aspects of the game will end up with different core rules, as with FFG's 40K games, and the more recent Star Wars line (Edge of the Empire, Force and Destiny, and Age of Rebellion). Its a trend we've not seen from cubicle seven as much though, so hopefully they'll keep everything compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekamouse Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I hope the Soulbound thing is optional. It's neat... but... I dunno.. I'd like the game balanced to play without it as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death are all bound up Nagash's will, so there's your hook right away. Chaos is... Chaos. Destruction is where I'm curious about how it will work. Not necessarily. The "Pantheon of Order" during the Age of Myth contained both Gorkamorka and Nagash, so there is precedent for Destruciton and Death aligned Soulbound. That's something we are keen to explore in the future. 11 hours ago, eekamouse said: I hope the Soulbound thing is optional. It's neat... but... I dunno.. I'd like the game balanced to play without it as well. The party being Soulbound is the default setup for the game but you can play your own way. There is a mechanic tied to being Soulbound (think Hero Points, Fate Points, or Inspiration) but that can easily be reskinned for your own non-Soulbound game. We'll give guidance on different frameworks in the GM chapter of the book 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is soulbounding necessary for the player characters? Sorry forgot to tag you folks in my above reply. Soulbinding works for non-Order characters as mentioned above. Chaos is more tricky and interesting. You could have something like a Darkoath who hates Order but also doesn't want the world to end, so joins the Soulbound. 13 hours ago, vecna101 said: please give some flexability for wierder characters, like, I dunno, good necromancers? I've really been bugged by how needlessly restrictive good Vs. evil RPGs tend to be. Thanks. You can be a Battlemage and choose Shyish as your Lore of Magic, so in that regard you can do "good" necromancers. Depends on how everyone else views you! Shades of grey are always more interesting than straight good and evil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilberfrid Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) While it is a stretch, are there plans for a mixed box of PC and/or monster models? I know Underworld sets could work quite well for this, but it's interesting to know. As for Chaos, we had the Darkoath dude in Silver Tower, working against some forms of chaos isn't unheard of.

I really hope they make a Underworlds or Warcry warband that's a nice tie in with the roleplaying game (I have ulterior motives, of course, because I'd like a Cities warband very much).

Considering the various campaigns Soulbound is going to have, will we have a clear timeline of events? It is always very difficult for me to judge what kind of roleplay should a character have since we usually have no idea how many years has been past since realmgate wars or soulwars.

As Gorkamorka is technically still a member of the Pantheon, will that mean that an Orruk Warchanter or an Ogor Tyrant, for example, could become soulbound? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time is a little fluid in the Realms, but I believe its been about a century since the Realmgate Wars. Other than that we'll leave most of the timeline loose to allow it to be malleable for GMs and players 9 hours ago, Aelfric said: As Gorkamorka is technically still a member of the Pantheon, will that mean that an Orruk Warchanter or an Ogor Tyrant, for example, could become soulbound?

Since there is no duardin and aelf SCE? There a myriad of different ways the character could end up here. Turned into a statue and recently changed back, returned to the mortal realms by another god. Swallowed a poisoned apple and kept in a glass box, pricked herself after being cursed and slept for a few ages, groundbreaking work for Chronomatic Cogs. Soul caught in a stone and recently picked up by just the right person... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
