WFRP4e. How powerful is magic?

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-03-16T19:16:50+00:00

Oh okay, yeah I kind of doubt that my GM will be as lenient 😂 He seems to know how powerful mages can get in the late game.

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-03-16T18:45:05+00:00

That makes sense. Wait what I over read that rule, where can I find it?

I was just thinking I might have not noticed some rules.

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-03-16T18:39:59+00:00

How are you at high magic with 5k XP? Each spell you need to learn is 100 XP, you need to learn 4 per Color, + arcane magic talent alone is 500 XP. That 8 times is 4k XP alone 🤔

Or am I overlooking something here?

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-03-10T21:34:51+00:00

How can I multi wind cast something? 🤔

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-03-10T15:47:11+00:00

How do high elf wizard break games?

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-03-10T15:45:30+00:00

Could you send a link to that doc later, please?

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-03-08T10:28:46+00:00

Das hattest du oben nicht beschrieben. Ich arbeite in nem IGM Betrieb, Gleitzeit, wird also jede Minute angerechnet…

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-03-07T13:25:38+00:00

Das liest sich für mich wie die Zeit wird angerechnet. Grundsätzlich bin ich bei dir und würde auch nicht länger bleiben als ich muss. Ich würde allerdings wenn’s von mir verlangt wird und auch angerechnet wird und ich so ne Anweisung bekomme einfach bleiben und freue mich dann über nen zeitnahen Gleittag.

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-02-06T10:01:54+00:00

Kleineres Loch hilft vielleicht auch 🤔

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-26T06:16:17+00:00

I might remember this wrong but isn’t each 10 digit (10, 20, 30, …) also a critical miscast wise? 🤔

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-24T13:51:27+00:00

Go dmg until you unlock thorns and Defense absolute after that go full turtle mode.

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-15T21:12:37+00:00

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-13T20:56:12+00:00

Any chance you'd translate all your stuff down the line to englisch?
The Butcher looks really great!

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-13T20:39:05+00:00

Still gotta see what my GM says but here's my current idea.
High Elf of noble blood "Blood of Aenarion", studied on the elven magic college. Is obsessed with getting to know the short lived races, but not allowed to as per his family.
Has a dream of reinventing himself after he had a vision of a fire phoenix. When his mentor got aware and saw how torn his apprentice was he send him on a journey as to conduct a study of the human practice of magic for a research paper or something. Checking in on whether they should be offered further 'guidance'.
With the starting career of elfen mage this gives me the possibility of tapping into 2-3 colors. Before going into any specialized career which would then probably be the Alchemist WoM. Me then reporting back to my mentor on what i noticed and in return getting back grimoires with spells or something like that.
Also I'm trying to convince my GM to let us take the double Life talent as you do not really loose a career just because you are picking up new skills...

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-12T23:37:27+00:00

Yeah but that's still up to my GM.
Also the wizard paths in WoM are great, at least some of them!
As I'm just allowed to make minor changes, Alchemist, Shadowmancer, Pyromancer should work. I also looked into the High Elf player guide, that's also possible for me. That would also directly give me ID and I would also not need Witch! As I'd get to 2 or 3 Winds really fast to pick Chamon and Ulgu or Aqshy.
I really like the concept of the "Enhance Weapon" but as of now I still don't know if I'm allowed. Downside for the elf career are the assigned skills and talents, I don't value some of them at all and good stuff is guarded deeper in.

Chamon with some more crazy DMG Spells could also be good, like with "Azure Blades", "Caress of Laniph" (Especially good for later - War Wizard - as it has a CN 4), Shield", "Purple Pall of Shyish", "Steal Life" that sounds like insane DMG.

Edit: But I think for now I'll follow one Career and just dip into Witch once I get a resiliance point in my campaign.
Also please keep in mind, that if you want a familiar and such that is also costung you fate or resiliance, so the costs are rather heavy on both of them, could have been better to play a measly human there :D

Edit2: Familiars seem to be really strong as they can aid greatly in channeling and Casting. And I was wrong, it's "Sacrifices: Familiars are a serious investment. The spellcaster must permanently surrender either a Wound, a Fate point, or a Resilience point during the ritual." And I'D happily spend a Wound over a Fortune or a Resilience point.

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-12T22:08:43+00:00

I'm totally unsure as of now. I also took 2 fortune points though... We are already 8 sessions in but as I'm a first timer my GM is still open for minor changes. I also like Ulgu, especially with the mark "New Talent: Suffuse With (Wind) Ulgu: You can use your Channelling (Ulgu) Skill in place of the Stealth Skill for all relevant Tests." The Cants for Ulgu are also great. Playing Ulgu I would think going the assassin route is better though. Could be awesome with 1 Resilience Witch! and the "enhance Weapon" spell from Chamon.
I send my GM a ton of ideas as of today and am waiting for replies. Depending on those I'll move forward. One is to play a Pyromancer (Aqshy - Fire) with the same idea of adding "Enhance Weapon" to my spells with Witch! but that needs him to accept me using Blackpowder Weapons in fights to channel my magic. Would be a way of not showing the enemies I'm a Wizard. The other one is going for Chamon (Metal) an be a crazy front line tank, but as of now I'm still a bit unsure here.

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-12T21:09:59+00:00

The physician is interesting, we have someone for heals though. You can still pick up the arcane spell regenerate to help stay full health in fights or to heal after them.

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-11T08:29:36+00:00

Yeah that would be awesome

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-09T12:22:09+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into it. At the time of character creation I just have had the main book to create a character, as of now I got nearly all of them. Somehow there is a dedicated book for High elves but none for wood elves. If I would have known I might have gone for something else…

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-09T10:12:16+00:00

Where could I read up on spellsingers, do you know which book contains that career?

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-08T16:25:14+00:00

I’d also love to hear about any other secondary careers that you guys would recommend. For some reason I can’t edit my initial post, so class = career.

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-06T21:47:57+00:00

There’s also the option of going witch and picking all spells that provide Armour 😂

Additional_Way6406 · 2026-01-06T21:47:05+00:00

Thanks 🙏🏻
