Hive World - Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader Database

Hive world characters can pass Willpower resistance tests using their Fellowship value instead, if the character’s Fellowship is higher.

Hive world characters gain a +50% bonus to dodge against the first attack of opportunity every round.

If a hive world character starts their turn adjacent to an ally character, that hive world character gains +2 MP. If a hive world character ends their turn adjacent to allies, they all gain +2 MP on their next turn.

If a hive world character has melee superiority against the enemy, the effect is increased by +10. If an enemy has melee superiority against a hive world character, the effect is decreased by -10. Melee Superiority: in melee combat, any target surrounded by more allies then enemies receives a +10 WS bonus for each additional ally. Larger creatures need to be surrounded by more than two enemies to provide this advantage to the attackers.

Hive world characters gain +((1 + FEL bonus) / 2) resolve if there are 3 or more creatures (allies or enemies) in a 3-cell radius. Yet they suffer a -2 penalty to resolve with no creatures around.

All ranged weapons dealing physical damage have +1 damage, +1% armour penetration, +1 rate of fire, and -5 to recoil.
