Rogue Traders are accustomed to earning their livings in the grey areas of the law, but a few brave or foolhardy captains take it a step further...
A supplement for Rogue Trader, Hostile Acquisitions provides players and GMs will find all they need to run a campaign on the far side of Imperial Law. From new characters and equipment to creating nemeses and running games based on criminal enterprise, Hostile Acquisitions is an invaluable resource on those Rogue Traders who are more rogue than trader.
Hostile Acquisitions introduces some particularly devious options for players and GMs. Characters gain alternate career ranks, such as the Swashbucker, the House Operative, and the Cold Trader. These new alternate career ranks are highly flavourful, and allow you to make a character with a distinctively âscoundrelâ bent. GMs can craft custom adversaries for their groups with the Nemesis Origin Path. You'll also find gear and starship upgrades to facilitate piracy and smuggling, a section on Imperial adversaries and details on Imperial Law, guidelines on how to run a âconâ game, and a list of mythical treasures waiting to be âliberated.â
