Warhammer - Albion 1.6 (beta) out now!

Good Yule! This is another fairly small update in terms of scope. War Fury has been changed a bit so that it does not allow re-rolling all dice when charging, but it also does not come with the drawback of suffering -1Ld on break tests.

As for magic, I decided to remove the Lore of the Truthsayers. This was something GW themselves did when they reintroduced Truthsayers in Storm of Magic and limited them to Life or Beasts. The reason being for removing the Lore is that all the spells in it are really just a slight variant of existing spells from the Winds of Magic, which are already available to them. As a result, it does not really serve much purpose to keep the lore around, and it does not really have much of a theme either. However, Elemental Power will still remain as an additional spell for Wizards, and Voice of Command is a unique spell for Dural Durak.

There are also a lot of new magic items! Most of these are from the first version of the Albion book from back in 2010 and based on items from Celtic myths, with two additional banners from the homebrew supplement in the Discord server. The remaining changes are just minor tweaks to equipment and points costs. Hope you enjoy the update, and many thanks to my Patreons for your continued support!
