Rogue Trader [Rogue Trader] Opening session encounter guidance

11 Upvotes

I am putting together a Fantasy Flight RT campaign for 4 players. I think I'll do a lot of comping together of the pre-made adventures in the various books, but I'll be opening with a custom session.

In general I'm using an opening that's similar-ish to the Owlcat CRPG. There is a coup attempt on board, and the players must fight their way to the bridge. My concern is from the apparent deadliness of the encounters. Of course, I'll be trying not to rough up the party too much, but dice are dice sometimes.

If I understand correctly, Medicae can only heal damage equal to the users INT bonus. So at most the party has the ability to heal 3-4 damage per Medicae test. My plan was to have the party go through a few small encounters before a main showdown on the bridge, but I worry about their damage or fatigue state going into that last fight.

How have you guys dealt with multiple battle encounters in a session? Is that generally not advisable in this setting, or is there a bit of playing fast and loose with the efficacy of healing?

Dark Heresy How are you managing the feats?

Hi guys, I am a master. I'm very bad at managing a lot of feats, bc my main problem is remembering what exactly this feat is doing? I'm looking at the npc (in bestiary ofc) and don't understand what is going on. Do you just remember all of it or did you write it in any sheet? I need some advices for this one.
