Action Cards for the Rogue Trader RPG (version 1.03, by Drhoz, 2012)

1 Action Cards for the Rogue Trader RPG (version 1.03, by Drhoz, 2012) A hopefully useful tool for your players to divide up their actions during ship-toship, or potentially ship-to-ground, combat. Based on the Rogue Trader Core Rulebook, Into The Storm, and Battlefleet Koronus. Original idea by kenshin138 on the Fantasy Flight RT RPG board in this thread, with improvements suggested by Mortagon, Maese Mateo, and Badlapje Divided into Manoeuvre, Shooting, and Extended Action cards, including Astropath and Navigator Actions from Into the Storm, and Attack Craft & Torpedo Actions from Battlefleet Koronus. Includes two useful Navigator Powers as extended actions. Most cards have notes on the effects of relevant Ship Components in red, and Ship Complications, Past Histories, & Backgrounds in blue, and should all fit onto standard index cards. Some cards are double-sided. I ve tried to leave enough room for you to pencil in the bonuses you get from Ship Components, plus any the Explorers might have from knowledge-based skills, etc. Alternatively, laminate them and use an erasable marker. Also, two cards for tracking damage penalties have been included. See p.224 of the main rulebook for population and morale effects not immediately relevant to combat.
