Armor
Gromril
Armor made from the metal known as gromril
is the toughest and most sturdy in the known
world. Known variously as meteoric iron, silverstone
and hammernought armor, Gromril
armor is limited to wealthy Dwarfs and
the elite Ironbreakers. Armor forged of pure
gromril is highly coveted for its protective
value and such suits are treasured heirlooms,
many of which date back to the Golden Age.
Full Plate
Full plate armor is the pinnacle of human armorsmithing.
Only wealthy nobility can afford
to buy and maintain this type of armor,
but it is well worth the price as it provides
almost impenetrable defense. On the other
hand, it is loud and restricts movement, so it
is usually avoided by those who value agility
and the element of surprise in combat. Your
character adds jj to Stealth and Coordination
checks while wearing this armor.

Magic Items
In this section we present examples of magic
items. Magic items are objects of great power.
Those are extremely rare creations of the most
powerful wizards, dwarven runesmiths or are
made by the Chaos itself. They are hard to find,
but the strength they offer is worth every effort.
However, the power often comes at a cost.
All magic items can be damaged (see p. 89
Genesys Core Rulebook), but cannot be destroyed
unless great magical power is used
to do so. All magic weapons deal magic damage
(including arrows shot from magic bows)
and ignore Reinforced quality, unless the item
having this quality is also a magic one.
Trueflight Bow
These extremely rare bows were created by
wood elves during the wars with dwarfs. Arrows
fired from this bow almost never miss,
seeking their target on their own and hitting
weak points in the opponent's armor with
great precision.
Barrakul
The longsword's name means "Hope of the
Mountains" in the Khazalid language and it
was once forged by an unknown runesmith
as a token of friendship between the dwarfs
and the followers of Sigmar. No one who is an
enemy of Sigmar may use this sword. Drawn,
the blade gleams with a strange glow, and the
runes shine softly.
Barrakul ignores much of the enemy's armor
and gains Pierce 5 quality, unless it's magic armor.
If the target is a dwarf, upgrade the difficulty
of the combat check twice and reduce the
damage dealt by 2.
