notes

I had the idea for the Index Terribilis after playing Edge of Darkness while using the Dark Heresy

rulebook. I thought it was a bit dificult inding the tables I needed and the book is very nice but a bit

unhandy. I didn’t start right away, thinking that the Game Master’s kit would have a booklet with the

most used tables. Well, it didn’t. The GM screen is fantastic, but I just missed the easy access to the most

needed tables. I just had to make the Index Terribilis myself.

It might interest you to know that I took a picture of my Dark Heresy Collectors Edition no. 149 and

used that for the black leather when I created the cover for Index Terribilis in Photoshop. Oh by the way,

Index Terribilis is Latin and means Frightful Tables.

I hope this booklet will improve your enjoyment of the Dark Heresy game.

FAILING THE FEAR TEST

If in a combat situation a character fails a Fear Test, he must immediately roll on Table 8-4: The Shock Table , adding +10 to

the result for each degree of failure. The effects listed are applied immediately to the character.

If in a non-combat situation the character fails a Fear Test, the character becomes unnerved and suffers a -10 penalty to any

Skill or Test that requires concentration on his part. This penalty lasts while the character remains in the vicinity of the object of

his Fear (simply leaving and coming back again doesn‘t stop this!). In addition, if a non-combat Fear Test is failed by 30 or more,

the character also gains 1d5 Insanity Points.

SHock ANd SNAppING ouT oF IT

Characters may be able to shake off some of the effects of Fear after the initial shock has worn off. Where speciied on

Table 8-4: The Shock Table that a character may “snap out of if”, a character can make a Willpower Test when it is his next

Turn. If this succeeds then he regains his senses, shrugs off the effects and may act normally from then on. If he fails this Test,

the effect continues and he may try again when it is his next Turn.

TABLE 8-4: THE SHOCK TABLE

Roll a 1d100 and add 10 for every degree of failure.

01-20 The character is badly startled. He may only take a single Half Action when in his next Turn, but afterwards

he may act normally.

21-40 Fear grips the character and he begins to shake and tremble. He is at a -10 penalty on all Tests for the rest of the

encounter unless he can recover his wits (see Shock and Snapping out of it, dHRB page 232 ).

41-60 Reeling with shock, the character backs away from the thing that confronts him. The character cannot willingly

approach the object of his fear, but may otherwise act normally, with a -10 penalty on all Tests until the end of

the encounter. The character gains 1 Insanity Point.

61-80 The character is frozen by terror. The character may make no Actions until he snaps out of it. After snapping

out of it, the character will make all Tests with a -10 penalty for the rest of the encounter. The character gains

1d5 Insanity Points.

81-100 Panic grips the character. He must lee the source of his fear, if able, as fast as he can, and if prevented from

doing so he may only take Half Actions and is at a -20 penalty to all Tests. The character gains 1d5 Insanity

Points. Once away from the danger he must successfully snap out of it to regain control.

101-120 Fainting dead away, the character keels over and remains unconscious for 1d5 Rounds. Once he regain

consciousness he is still shaken and takes all Tests with a -10 penalty until the end of the encounter. The

character gains 1d5 Insanity Points.

121-130 Totally overcome, the character screams and vomits uncontrollably for 1d5 Rounds. During this time he is helpless,

may do nothing and drops anything he is holding. Afterwards, until the end of the encounter, the character

may only take a single Half Action each Turn until he can rest. The character gains 1d5 Insanity Points.

131-140 The character laughs hysterically and randomly attacks anything near him in a manic frenzy, iring wildly or

using whatever weapon he has to hand. This effect lasts until the character snaps out of it, or until he is knocked

unconscious. The character gains 1d5 Insanity Points.

141-160 The character crumples to the ground for 1d5+1 Rounds sobbing, babbling and tearing at his own lesh, and

may do nothing. Even after he returns to his senses, he is a complete mess and at a -20 penalty on all Tests until

the end of the encounter. The character gains 1d5+1 Insanity Points.

161-170 The character’s mind snaps and he becomes catatonic for 1d5 hours and may not be roused. The character

gains 1d10 Insanity Points.

171+

The character is so affected that he begins to see strange and terrible visions as his hold on reality shatters.

The character suffers the effects of “acute hallucinations” (see disorders, dHRB page 234 ) for 2d10 Rounds.

After the hallucinations fade, the character will make all Tests with a -20 penalty while the encounter lasts. The

character gains 2d10 Insanity Points and takes 1d10 points of permanent Willpower damage.
