| Core Mechanic | Roll 1d6 + Trait Rating against a Difficulty Value (DV) for skill checks. Eight traits (Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Agility, Constitution, Mysticism, Smell, Charisma) each have a genetic base value set at character creation via 3d6, plus a Level that increases through Advancement Points. Combat uses hex-based battleboards with Attack and Defend dice, comparing Attack Score (attack die plus modifiers) to Defense Score (SPD Rating plus defend die), with tactical choices selected secretly each round via Combat Tactics Cards. | Roll d100 under skill or characteristic. Success Levels measure degree of success by comparing the tens digits of the target and the roll. Advantage accumulates during combat, adding +10 per point to attack tests. |

| Best For | Groups who want a survival-focused campaign from a non-human perspective, solving problems as small prey animals in a realistically dangerous ecosystem. | Groups who want dark, gritty fantasy where ordinary people face extraordinary dangers in a richly detailed setting. The career system creates unique character arcs from rat catcher to witch hunter. |
| Highlights | Fully realized herbalism system serves as the game's analog to magic, with herb searching, recognition, preparation, and remodeling mechanics. Pursuit phase models predator chases as a distinct tactical minigame before combat begins. Extensive bestiary details real-world predators and prey with ecologically grounded behavior. Nine playable species (rabbit plus eight others) each with a unique profession and trait distribution. | The career system structures advancement around trades, moving a character through jobs that shape both skills and story. Success Levels measure how far a d100 test beats or misses its target, turning every roll into a degree of result. Advantage accumulates during a fight, rewarding momentum with stacking bonuses to attack tests. |
| Considerations | No free quickstart or SRD: the $1 B&B Light folio is the cheapest entry point. Battleboard combat with tokens and tactics cards requires physical components or digital substitutes. Rules are spread across multiple subsystems (pursuit, combat, herbalism, diseases, pests) that take time to internalize. | The rules assume the Old World setting, so moving WFRP elsewhere means reworking its careers and tone. Comparing tens digits for Success Levels on every test adds a math step that can slow combat. Advancement is career-gated, so a character often must finish or leave a career before branching into new skills. |
