Beastmen and Greenskins

I'm not a mod, but these rules might help.

Beastmen!

All Info has been taken from criticalhit.co.uk

CAPRIGOR

Caprigors are more numerous than other Gors. They are what adventurers would know as 'typical Beastmen' for they have curling or straight horns on their head like a goat or sheep. Caprigors often have goat's legs and typically the head of a sheep as well. A Beastman like this, and with no other mutations, is known as a Truegor. Truegors are said to be bigger, braver, and more intelligent than other Caprigors (Truegors have +1 Strength, and +5 Intelligence and Cool to the profile given below.)

BOVIGOR

Bovigors are not as numerous as Caprigors. They are distinguished from other Beastmen because of their bull or ox-like heads. Their legs can either be goat-like or even human. Bovigors are big and powerful and highly competitive and because of this they believe themselves to be the superior Beastmen. Unfortunately they tend to be lacking in intelligence, even for Beastmen.

UNGOR

Ungors are the lesser Gor breed. They usually bear several mutations and tend to have small, scabby little horns; and these are not always on their head. Some Ungors may have a single fine horn and a Beastman with this protrusion is often a source of considerable envy. In short, Ungors are very varied in appearance.

BRAYS
The word bray comes from the braying and whinnying cacophony that Beastmen often make when they come together to fight or feast. Brays are lesser Beastmen and if it weren't for the fact they are hornless they could be mistaken for the greater Gor variety. If a Bray develops horns, as a result of mutation, then they will be sawn off in order that the Beastman can never be taken for a Gor. Sometimes an especially cunning Bray may rise to become the leader of a band of Beastmen, but this is not very common because Gors do not like Brays giving them orders. This is compounded by the fact that if Brays do not give Gors sufficient respect they are usually roundly beaten, or much worse.

TURNSKINS
A Turnskin is the lowest of the low in Beastman society because this individual was born as human as Emperor Karl-Franz and subsequently warped and morphed into a Beastman. The influence of the Realm of Chaos still reaches out from the fallen warpgates of the Old Slann and mutates anything it touches. Mutation is not tolerated in the Old World and any individuals who exhibit signs of mutation are either killed or hounded out of their villages, towns, or cities; many die lonely deaths. Not surprisingly only the toughest, or luckiest, of these people survive when they are in the wilderness and some of them join Beastman warbands. Regardless of whether a Turnskin looks like a Beastman, he is still the lowest of the low and if he grows horns they are immediately sawn off so as to ensure his place in Beastman society is confirmed. A Turnskin may even look human with only a furry, matted area of his body to belie the awful truth.

GAVES
Gaves or Gave Children are considered gifts of Chaos by Beastmen. Mutant births are on the increase in the Old World, especially in the Empire and Kislev. Some parents, no matter how healthy they are, will give birth to a severely deformed baby and, out of the need to hide their shame, they put the infant on a bed of leaves in the depths of a forest or set it adrift on the calm waters of a river. Seldom do these mutant babies die of hunger or exposure, for the ears of Beastmen are very keen and they can hear the cries of their own kind. When a mutant infant is found by Beastmen it is adopted and cared for by the warband. It will then be reared as a Beastman and will almost always become a Beastman as it grows and matures. Usually Gaves mature into Gors but some may become lowly Brays too. Whatever the case Beastmen do not attach any stigma to Gaves. Indeed, Gave Beastmen sometimes add 'gave' to their name. Horngave, Gorgave, Shadowgave and Nightgave are typical Gave names.

A Gave has the profile of any of the Gor varieties of Beastmen or a Bray. A Gave may even grow to become a powerful Beastman Shaman (see below). A warband with a young Gave Shaman is said to be blessed indeed by the Powers of Chaos.

SHAMANS
Shamans are very rare Beastmen with magical powers and very seldom do communities have more than one. Beastmen Shamans are more in tune with Chaos than any Human sorcerers for they can spirit-walk (see below) in the Realm of Chaos itself and converse with Chaos Daemons and even the Chaos Powers themselves. Shamans are held with awe in Beastman society. Leaders go to them for advice and to learn what lies in the future for them and the warband. Seldom do even Beastman Champions anger a Shaman for fear of being cursed or being consumed by Daemons of Chaos the Shamans are known to be in-league with. In fact it is rumoured that Shamans are protected by the very Daemons they converse with in the Realm of Chaos.

Physically, Beastman Shamans are identical to Gor Beastmen but, peculiarly, they have two different coloured eyes; this is the sole indisputable mark of the Shaman. Often one eye is red and one blue, or one is yellow and the other green. The actual colours are supposed to signify the favour in which the Shaman is held by a particular Chaos Power; blue or yellow for Tzeentch, green or brown for Nurgle, pink or purple for Slaanesh, and bright red for Khorne (Khornate Shamans cannot cast spells but instead they attempt to dispel them). They tend to wear elaborate loose gowns or decorated hoods and may also carry staffs or banners decorated with scalps and bones.

Spirit-walking in the Realm of Chaos
The sole purpose of spirit-walking is for more power or to get a glimpse of the future. Before a Beastman Shaman can spirit-walk he drinks himself into a comatose state, which may also be influenced by powerful drugs, and then he enters a trance. At this point the Shaman is as one with his spirit, floating in the Realm of Chaos conversing with Chaos Daemons to ask them for more magick or for portents of the future. This isn't always successful but typically a Shaman gains something from this experience. Particularly powerful Shamans may even talk to the Chaos Powers themselves and gain a blessing, usually in the form of a Chaos Reward, but this is exceptionally rare (base 2% chance, +1% per level of Shaman, +1% if in Brayherd); close as Beastmen are to Chaos, the Chaos Gods have better things to do than to talk to mortals, whatever their race. In order for a spirit-walk to be successful the Shaman must roll equal to or under his Will Power. What a Shaman gains from spirit-walking is largely left up to the GM. He may decide that the Shaman gains a +10 bonus to any test for a short period of time, or just for 1 minute if he so wishes. These bonuses may be given to other Beastmen for a short time. It must be born in mind, however, that it is glimpses of future events that Shamans gain so they can predict when and where their warband is likely to be attacked, how many they will be attacked by, if anyone is likely to be killed etc.

Special Rules: A Beastman Shaman can have a randomly determined level of mastery using a D4, with a base 20 magic points plus D10 per level of mastery above 1 (so a level 4 Shaman will have 20+3D10 magic points.) A Shaman typically has a mix of Battle and Daemonic Magick spells (D4+1 per level) and D6 Petty Magick spells per level of mastery. However, a Shaman may also possess some Illusionist spells too if the GM wishes it.

Greenskins!

Goblin
Standing at approximately four feet in height with relative proportions similar to Humans, Goblins are by far the most common of the Goblinoid species. They make poor warriors, running away at least as often as they stand and fight. In spite of their numbers, Goblins are so undisciplined that they rarely present anything more than a transitory threat to Human settlements. Favourite Goblin mounts are Great Wolves and Boars. Skin colour varies from yellowish-green to almost black and their blood colour varies from green to red. Goblins speak Gha^zhakh, a dialect of the common Goblinoid tongue, and have Night Vision to 10 yards.

Psychology: Neutral-Evil alignment. Hate Dwarves, Fear Elves when not outnumbering them by at least 2 to 1. Subject to animosity towards Gobbos of other species/tribes.

Lesser Goblin
Smaller cousins of Goblins, Lesser Goblins are very much the same as Goblins in all but height, standing at between two and four feet tall, and build, being somewhat thinner in proportion to their height. Skin colour varies from yellowish-green to almost black and blood colour falls between green and red, tending towards green. Like Goblins, they speak the Gha^zhakh dialect of the common Goblinoid tongue and have Night Vision to 10 yards.

Psychology: Neutral-Evil alignment. Hate Dwarves, Fear Elves when not outnumbering them by at least 2 to 1. Subject to animosity towards Gobbos of other species/tribes.

Hobgoblin
Of the Goblinoid races, Hobgoblins bear the closest resemblance to Humans, with the exception of a number of Half Orcs. Usually approximately six feet tall, Hobgoblins are almost as aggressive as Orcs, are quicker, both mentally and physically, and make proficient, if crude, metal workers, craftsmen and miners. They also often function as leaders for purposes of defence and conducting raids. Despite their practical nature in the tribe, they are cunning and sometimes deceitful. Rumours are flying of Hobgoblin contact with a new threat from within the Darklands, although little more is known of this, much less proven. Hobgoblin skin is usually leathery and a yellowish-brown colour and, unlike other Goblinoids, they sport a full head of dark (usually black) hair. Blood is usually a deep red colour. Favourite mounts are Great Wolves and Boars. They speak the dialect of the Goblinoid tongue known as Hargha^zhakh. Hobgoblins have Night Vision to 10 yards.

Psychology: Neutral-Evil alignment. Hobgoblins suffer from frenzy and animosity towards Gobbos of other species/tribes

Orc
Orcs are among the more powerful warriors of the Goblinoid races and usually install themselves as leaders of their weaker cousins. They are powerfully built and often approach seven feet in height, some being somewhat ape-like in their gait and appearance, others showling less signs of this and being more powerfully built, depending on parentage. Skin is greenish or a darkish olive brown and their blood is a deep red colour. Favourite mounts are Great Wolves and Boars. Orcs speak the Orrakh dialect of the Goblinoid tongue and possess Night Vision to 10 yards.

Psychology: Neutral-Evil alignment. Subject to animosity towards Gobbos of other species/tribes

Black Orc
The largest of the Goblinoid races, Black Orcs came from the Darklands and are said to be the result of the age-old cannibalism of the smaller and weaker members of the race known as 'runt noshing'. This violent method of selective breeding has produced a race whose melee prowess is legendary, almost as if they were deliberately bred by some twisted intelligence with the objective of producing a race of master warriors. This breeding, however, gave them little of the intelligence or discipline necessary for such a design. Standing at about seven to eight feet tall, centuries of selective breeding have led to certain features becoming especially pronounced in the Black Orcs, such as their broad, protruding lower jaws. Favourite mounts are Great Wolves and Boars. As their name suggests, Black Orcs are almost invariably dark skinned, with very deep red to black blood. Black Orcs speak the Ghaha^zhakh dialect of the Goblinoid tongue. Black Orcs have Night Vision to a range of 10 yards.

Psychology: Neutral-Evil alignment. Subject to animosity towards Gobbos of other species/tribes.

Half Orc
Half Orcs are cross breeds between Goblinoids and the other humanoid races, chiefly Humans, although Half Orcs of Halfling, Elven or Dwarven parentage are, if somewhat rare, not unknown. Obviously, with 7 other Gobbo races able to breed with a variety of other humanoids, it is impractical to cover all possibilities and this description assumes an 'average' Half Orc of human parentage. Physique, skin colour and blood colour will vary according to the creatures parentage, but most are light to dark green or brown coloured, approximately five to six feet tall with reddish blood. Most speak the common Goblinoid tongue, Ha^zhakh, and some speak a debased form of the local human tongue, depending on background. The Night Vision of an average Half Orc extends to 5 yards.

Psychology: Neutral-Evil alignment. Half Orcs are subject to animosity towards other humanoid races, made at a -10 penalty as they are outcasts.

Snotling
The smallest of the Goblinoid races at only two to three feet tall, Snotlings are naturally social creatures, frequently living in dense underground sets with their Snotling siblings. Snotlings hate being alone. Snotlings typically wield knives, used as swords, and small spears, axes and clubs. A favourite Snotling weapon is the net and they cultivate fungi and mushrooms from which the smarter Snotlings make spore weapons. Snotling skin is a green to light brownish colour and their blood tends towards green. Snotlings speak a simplified form of the common Goblinoid tongue called Snotgob. Snotlings possess Night Vision to 10 yards.

Psychology: Neutral-Evil alignment. Snotlings are subject to fear when not outnumbering foes by at least 10 to 1, and to terror when alone. Note that I do not make Snotlings subject to stupidity as the WFRP rulebook does - they may be more simplistic or naive than other Gobbo species, but not necessarily stupid.

Boar
The Wild Boars which inhabit the Badlands vary somewhat in size from a little larger than those of out own world to being almost as big as a horse. If properly trained they can be ridden (they are favourite orcmounts) or kept in packs. The profile below is for a larger sized Boar, smaller Boars have a Strength and Toughness of 2 each and 8 Wounds, all other characteristics remaining the same.

Psychology: Wounded Boars are subject to frenzy.

Squig
Also known variously as Killer Squigs, Nasher Squigs, Fang Squigs or Toof Squigs, they are so called because of the caves in which they are found. Cave Squigs are naturally solitary creatures for the simple reason that they attack anything else they see! Many a Squig handler or catcher has been maimed or killed by one of these fearsome creatures, easily big enough to swallow a Goblin (and an Orc in some cases) whole. Sporting a set of extremely sharp teeth, Cave Squigs make two bite Attacks per round and are essentially mindless. Goblinoid Squig handlers keep them individually in sturdily built cages or at a safe distance with their pitchfork-like 'prodders', to be unleashed against enemy forces when appropriate, although they often cause as much damage to the Goblinoid rabble as to the enemy...
