Not everything generated by this software makes sense, just like the book!
Where the book is ambiguous or missing information, editorial choices have been made.
| Choice | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Equipment loadouts are derived from the equipment tables in the Age of the Imperium section of the rulebook. Leader loadouts are based on squad leaders and include 1-per-squad items. Trooper loadouts are based on squad members and may generate special weapons in proportion to the number present in a squad. |
| Humans | Base human profiles don't come with equipment; some basic loadouts have been invented. |
| Abhumans | Abhumans don't have equipment charts; they have been given the same ones as Warriors of the Army. |
| Psychic mastery | The rulebook does not describe how to determine psychic mastery. Random mastery has been weighted towards weaker psykers. Level 1: 50%. Level 2: 25%. Level 3: 10%. Level 4: 5%. |
| Hand weapons | Swords, knives, combat accessories & hafted weapons have been consolidated under the term hand weapons. |
| Bionics | Personalities with custom Advance Points get Major Hero chances of bionics. Bionic profile bonuses are not included in profiles. |
| Missing rules | Distort fields are assumed to be refractor fields. Assassins eye protection surgery is assumed to be eye protection injections. |
| Ammunition | Needlers, webbers & shotguns get randomly determined ammunition. Missile & grenade launchers get D4 random munitions. |
| Specialist missions | Specialist mission equipment has been ommitted. |
| Shuriken pistols | Shuriken pistols from White Dwarf 97 have been substituted for bolt pistols in Eldar profiles. |
| Revised points values | The Book of the Astronomicon points revisions have been applied. |
| Known bugs | Web solvents are not provided as per some rules. Gretchin are not required to be Minor Heroes to get special weapons. Rogue Traders do not have a 5% chance of being a Navigator. Bionic eyes do not have the correct points values when enhanced by other tech. Navigators cannot be Space Marines. |
| Mutations | Not included at this time. |
