Chapter II: Character Creation

O ver the next few pages you’ll find a collection of charts that can
provide some details about your character. These include physical
characteristics like height, weight, hair and eye colour, and such things
charts provide just a sample of what the Old World has to offer. There
are many more settlements in the Empire and beyond. Lastly, there are
charts with sample names for each race, both male and female. For a
as the number of siblings you have and your place of origin. The latter comprehensive name generator, see the Warhammer Character Pack.

Table 2-10: dIsTInguIshIng marks

These Distinguishing Marks have no effect on your Characteristics; they are purely cosmetic. Minor pox marks, strange teeth, warts and
other small disfigurements are completely normal in the Warhammer World. Indeed, folk without them are often viewed as “unnatural” and
“suspicious”. Elves, however, seldom possess these types of Distinguishing Marks.
