Main Rules
These rules are made for campaigns that change into the “epic” category, where a single PC
can battle one on one Hive Tyrants and win, lead crusades, battle hordes of elite enemies and
are major power brokers in the Imperium of Man. The GM should sparingly use these rules,
mainly for a short lived epic campaign or at the end of a very long one.
Each PC gains the Exalted aptitude. This is only needed for talents. Otherwise, the characters
are ready to be powerful beings (at a cost!). All of these need GM’s approval (obviously!). All
Unnatural Characteristic traits stack!

From now on, the total modifier increases from 60 to 90 as does the Difficulty Table.

Exalted Statistics
Exalted Characteristics
The character can advance his characteristics two more times, based on the table below.
Aptitudes Heroic (+30 Total) Master (+35 Total)

Two 2000 xp 3000 xp

One 2500 xp 4000 xp

Zero 4000 xp 7500 xp

Exalted Skills
The character can advance his skill two more times, based on the table below.
Aptitudes Heroic (+40 Total) Master (+50 Total)

Two 1200 xp 2400 xp

One 1800 xp 3000 xp

Zero 2400 xp 5000 xp

Exalted Fury
Whenever the Exalted Character gets Righteous Fury, he can forgo the 1d5 Critical Damage
and instead roll 1d10 additional damage. If he rolls 10 on this die, he rolls another 1d10 and
repeats the process each time he gets a 10. In short, he can choose between the new (DH2e)
critical system and the old one.

Psy Rating Higher than 10

Unless the Psyker is Alpha Grade, all his Psychic Powers are limited to 10 Psy Rating. This
means a non-Alpha Grade Psyker with 12 Psy Rating will use his Psychic Power at 10 Psy
Rating as Fettered Focus Power Test and gains a +20 bonus to the test (12-10 = 2).
Exalted Fate Points
The Explorer can now use his Fate Points in many different ways, some new and other
changed. This is the full list of how the character can use his Fate Points.

Spend Fate Points

- Changed: Re-roll a test with +10 bonus to it.
- Changed: Gain a +10 bonus to a test. This must be chosen before the dice are rolled.
Automatically reroll a test that was a 100 result (critical failure).
- Changed: Add 1 degree of success to a successful test after it was rolled or gain 1d5
DoS before it was rolled. If the DoF is reduced to 0 or less, then the test was successful
with 1 DoS.
- Changed: Count as having rolled 10 for Initiative and make one Half Action before the
action starts, this cannot be an Attack, Psychic Power or Navigator Power.
- Changed: Instantly remove 5 damage from the character. This CAN be used to remove
Critical Damage. Astartes remove 10 damage instead.
- Changed: Instantly remove any Condition (except for limb loss or permanent loss of
eyes/ears/similar effect) that affects the character and remove all Fatigue.
- New: Make an enemy reroll a successful test.
- New: Make an ally reroll his failed test.
- New: The enemies receive -30 penalty to hit, when the character is making a Movement
Action (Half, Full, Charge or Run). This stays until the end of his turn.
- New: Ignore destruction or damage to the Explorer’s worn items. Works for Void Combat
for components on the ship the Explorer is on.
- New: Allow to use Evasion Reaction on your turn.

Burn Fate Points

- Survive by a miracle.
- New: Instead of dying, the character ignores the Critical effect, regains 1d5+1 Wounds,
stands up and can keep fighting. Astartes regain 2d5+1 Wounds instead.
- New: Make all enemy actions, on the enemy’s turn, count as a failure (with 1 DoF). Must
be used before or at the start of the enemy turn.
- New: Make the enemy test to be automatically a critical failure. Must be made before the
enemy rolls for the test.
- New: Automatically succeed on test with DoS equal to his Characteristic Bonus.

must have the power bought normally and then buy the talent to have access to the Alpha
Grade version of the power. To activate the power, it must be used at Psy Rating 10.

Alpha Grade Biomancy

Endurance
There’s no limit to the amount of allies healed this way and the healed wounds are now equal to
the psyker’s psy rating.

Enfeeble
The Psyker can target a number of targets equal to his psy rating and the Fatigue is also gained
upon failed tests, not only on doubles.

Haemorrhage
The target has a -30 penalty to the test. Also, the Psyker can sustain the power for a Half Action
each turn, making the target make more tests, however, only the first test is with the -30 penalty.

Invigourate
The range is increased to 5 meters per psyker psy rating. Also, the amount of Fatigue is
doubled.

Iron Arm
The Psyker doesn’t receive the penalty to Agility and gains a bonus to the Unnatural Strength
and Unnatural Toughness equal to the number of Degrees of Success on the Focus Power Test
above the first. Total trait level can’t increase higher than the psyker psy rating.

Life Leech
The damage is equal to 10 + psy rating, instead of 1d10 + psy rating. Also, the psyker heals his
wounds by 1 for every full 5 points of Toughness damage.

the new appearance. Example of Traits: Amorphous, Amphibious, Burrower (up to PR/2),
Crawler, Dark-Sight, Deadly Natural Weapons, Flyer (up to PR/2), Hoverer (up to PR/2),

doubled.

Forewarning
Additionally, the affected targets gain a free Evasion Reaction as long as the power is
sustained.

Misfortune
The target fails miserably if any test he makes is a double. Then it is counted as a critical failure.

Perfect Timing
When the affected allies and psyker attack a target, any Force Field he has is reduced by
double the psyker psy rating, as the attacks strike true just before the Force Field has a chance
to react.

Precognition

tests. Also, he can spend two rerolls to instead of re-rolling damage dice to count them as

Psyker then can use his DoS to ask the GM questions. For one DoS, he can ask a question that
the GM can answer with: Yes, No, Maybe, Uncertain. While with 3 DoS, the GM must elaborate
more on the question, maybe revealing more than the Psyker wanted to know. For example,
“Can we trust this man?” “No, you can’t and shouldn’t, he is working with dark powers and his
smile is a facade.”

Warp Perception
The trait is multiplied by 100 instead of 10, allowing the psyker to see beyond any wall or
obstacle. If there are psychic barriers, he can still see past them but his sight range is reduced
by half for each barrier he looks past.

Winding Fate
After the vision is described by the GM, the psyker then can ask questions about his target. For
one DoS, he can ask a question that the GM can answer with: Yes, No, Maybe, Uncertain.
While with 3 DoS, the GM must elaborate more on the question, maybe revealing more than the
Psyker wanted to know. For example, “Can we trust this man?” “No, you can’t and shouldn’t, he
is working with dark powers and his smile is a facade.”

Alpha Grade Pyromancy

Cauterise
This power increases range to 10m x psy rating and every target the psyker sees and
nominates loses his Blood Loss condition. There’s no pain, compared to what the normal
version of the power does.

permanent Fate Points, she instead increases her limit of Favour Points and regains 1. Upon
death without the ability to use Favour Points, her soul is plucked into the Warp and she must
go on a quest to regain her broken self before she can return to the game. After that she returns
to her previous body and regenerates any wound. If the body was completely destroyed, she
has a small chance to return (20%) to the material world using another body. At that point,
during a dramatic event of an NPC (or PC), the Living Saint takes over the body and previous
owner dies. She retains her previous characteristics and advances, except for Strength and
Toughness characteristics.

Exalted Armoury
Check out the Imperial Armour Volume: Exalted for the equipment!
Exalted availability means these items shouldn’t be given out or even bought/found by the
Explorers until the right time. Technically, these aren’t even items that the Explorers could
conceivably Acquisition with their Profit Factor. However, if the GM wants to, he can use the
Apocalyptic (-90) difficulty without the Scale modifier to use and Best Craftsmanship (-30)
modifier. All these items are considered Master Quality (damage added) and can’t be destroyed,
unless noted otherwise.

Master Quality
A new craftsmanship quality is introduced. The characters can now Acquisition items that are
the peak of human engineering. Gaining a Master Quality is always a Hellish (-60) Commerce
test and followed by an -50 penalty modifier to the Acquisition (compared to -30 for the Best
Quality). It takes one month to get the item. Upon successful, the character gains the item with
the Best Quality changes and chooses one effect (excluding 10) from the Rogue Trader 2nd
Edition - Demesne Supplement General - Masterful Craftsmanship table. If that supplement
is not used, just add additional +10 to tests when using this item compared to the Best Quality
version (so a +20 to hit for Melee weapons) and additional +1 damage for Melee (total of +2)
and +2 damage for Ranged or Armour +1 AP (total of +2 AP). NPCs with Master Quality
weapons should use the simpler rules. All weapons in the Exalted Creatures will have their
Master Quality weapon’s damage increased by 2 (the damage in the parenthesis is the
Common quality weapon damage).
