... wait, it's possible to start off with a full set of power armour? (since enough for 1 person + ext. rare = 0 modifier) O_o

Yep  :D

Actually, I could get Common Power Fists for all the PCs instead of getting a Good one just for myself...

Hey, we can arm ourselves. You worry about yourself. :P

My character is called Kallias Thucydides and he is 28. Here is his Origin Path: Forge World -> Child of the Creed -> Zealot -> High Vendetta -> Prestige. Now the question is, how can someone who was raised in a world controlled by the cult of the machine (and with a -10 to Imperium Creed related stuff) becomes a Child of the Creed? I'm thinking of having him taken out of there when he was seven. Any comment?

Here's his picture:

Board requested so we should be able to move there soon  :D

Regarding starting acquisitions: you don't get one acquisition with a total modifier of 0. You get an acquisition of a single item with a total modifier of +0 (see core pag. 33) So one power armor is allowed, 5 power fists sadly no. I've also considered and I'm going to allow the optional rules that allows you to pick any amount of common-craftsmanship and common availability without any acquisition test as long as you keep it reasonable (like not getting flak armors for all your crewmen or something like that).

Regarding Pure Faith: A few alt ranks from Faith&Coin (Witch Finder and Order of the Hammer Initiate) for which a Rogue Trader qualifies allow access to Pure Faith (and a couple other faith talents).

PS: you can take as many alt ranks as you feel like if it makes sense to your story (one per rank, of course).

Indeed. Especially if you are the RT, that give the Dynasty Name. If we are going toward a Conquistador theme, then, a Spanish or Portuguese name will fit.

As well, we need to name the Ship.I love Latin names, especially if we choose a capital ship. Here are some suggestions :

Ultima Ratio Imperium The Last Argument of the Imperium (from Louis XIV's motto on his canons, Ultima Ratio Regum :p)
Nec Pluribus Impar: One above All, One against all, Sufficient for so many things.
Plus Ultra : Further Beyond. the motto of the Spanish Empire.
Ad Astra To the Stars. Can be develloped into Ad Astra per Alas Fideles(to the stars on the wings of the Faithfull)  or Per Ardua/aspera/audacia Ad Astra (Through Hardship / Audacity to the Stars)
Ut Infinitum Et UltraTo Infinity and Beyond.
Aes Triplex : tripple bronze. Indestructible.
Alis Aquilae on the wings of an Eagle, Like an Eagle.
Annuit Coeptis" He (the god-emperor) approves the undertakings".
Audere es Facere : To dare is to do.
Crescat e Voidibus: Grown from the Void.
Deo Vindice "With God as our Protector."
Dominus illuminatio mea" God is my Light. A good motto for a Navigator, in fact  :D
Cave, Adsum Beware, I'm coming !
In hoc signo vinces With this sign You will conquer.
Invicta Unvainquished.
Fides Omnia Vincit Faith Conquers All.
Nemo me impune lacessit No one attacks me with impunity, aka  Wha daur meddle wi me?
Nescit cedere" I don't know how to quit.
Viriliter age Act manfully/courageously.
Spectemur agendo Let us be judged by our acts.
Repulsae Nescia I don't know defeat.
"-Lady-Captain, we detect 20 hostile vessels against us,  and Erasmus Haarlock's Spear of Destiny ! What are your orders ?
-RAMMING SPEED !

final result : 6 slaughts vessels, 4 imperial frigates, 2 imperial cruisers destroyed. Haarlock sent into the warp. 0 losses. Flawless Victory.

Here in Brazil, Honoria is an old woman's name. I vote for Crescat e Voidibus.

Even more reason to stick with it if we end up with a larger ship. Kind of means that the family's older, therefore naming senses are likely to be antiquated. :lmao

Order of the Hammer seems appropriate for my character, once we get another rank... :lmao

Wow how did you get 3 stats at 50 or above? :o

Presumably picking a lot of backgrounds that all buff the same stat.

Or forgetting you can only put 20 in each at most, possibly.

Hmm, to buy power armour or not to buy...

Oh also because he bought a Simple advance for each of them.  Didn't see that the first time.

Mostly, I specialized in things the other navigator wasn't. I'm not as well rounded as him, and can't do the same things, but I /can/ shoot flames out of my forehead, and therefore everything is fantastic. I'll make a backup character too in case we'd rather not have a second navigator.

All Kustom Jobz applied were at common or lower availability, with the exception of Kombi-Shoota, which was my acqusition, and the Sparky Nobz, which the Choppa gets for free. I did no use any Kustomizations from Hostile Acquisitions, since they have no listed price and thus can likely only be done by a Player Mekboy.

We have a board now: http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?board=184.0 Yay  :D

Regarding navigators: just checking to make sure you're aware: the errata made The Lidless Stare into a full action.
