I've noticed this PDF seems to have some sort of properties set which prevent you from copypasting things from the pdf, which is a bit inconvenient when you play entirely online. Any chance I could get a version without that restriction?

Hey my proofreading for spelling is never, available for general use. 

and I can't wait for your next Guide!

Love the pdf Thank you very much..my group and i are using it for the refference material it has..Love having all the weapon/armor traits etc in ONE location to check over as needed or for reminders etc...instead of having to thumb through all the books to find one small side entry on A page somewhere..lol I give it a 10 of 10 Kudos to you my friend and keep up the good work

“Naked in cold darkness, the First Millennium Man saw the sun rise
upon his world. So too, Man rose in awe of its mystery. He stood with
raised head and open arms, to embrace its light. And he walked upon his
world to explore its magic. The Third Millennium Man discovered the
metaphysics of the timeless stars and expanded his realm to the edge of
twilight. Now, in the Sixth Millennium, night fall pervades the mind of Man
and he is, once more, left in darkness. Yet he is aware of something in the
pitch black. Unseen, it stirs deep within his soulsomething he knows, will
never again, let him see the light again." - Lord Anaximander,

That was deliberate - I secured the PDF because I'd rather people propagated it around in its entirety rather than lifting bits and pieces and using those for their own purposes. I'm aware this is kind of an inconvenience (my players have told me so themselves...) but this is the only way I know of to make sure it all stays together. I'd feel kind of crappy if the author of some genius collection of guns and other gear (who is not myself!) got offered a job by FFG due to how stellar their freelance work looked, you know? Call it IP paranoia if you like... 

 

As for the rest of you, thanks for the kind words and complimentary praises. As usual, if you happen to spot anything glaringly off, let me know!

Ah, understandable. Thanks anyway.

 No worries. I am sorry my proclivities prevented me from being more helpful to you, though. <_>

Can I ask, where did you find the Armored Body glove?

The armored body glove is in the Inquisitros Handbook.

 I believe it was in the first printing of The Inquisitor's Handbook. It became the Hardened Bodyglove at a lower price point with 3 APs instead of 5 with the FFG reprint.

 

The term "armoured bodyglove" is used again in Rogue Trader, where the description remarks that some of these suits are as protective as light carapace while being much easier to move in - statistically, however, it's the same as the hardened bodyglove with 3 AP.

 

It's basically an ideal body armor for Hereticus acolytes who need to keep themselves reasonably incognito while still strutting around ready for battle.

okay, so are the stats and cost and availablity for the Armored Body Glove per the 1st Printing?

If so I know what I want to try to get for my assassin.  Of course I will need the total body suit

During our gaming session earlier this evening  we found a weapon that had apparently been left out of the supplement.  The Chimera Pistol Sword ( pg. 162 Inquisitors handbook )  I looked for it and even used the search feature for the keywords but it wasnt showing.  I figured it was an oversight on accident given it looks as everything else is there and you said you wanted informed if we found any errors/omissions...Were waiting to see what the next supplement will look like.  Thanks again for the one youve given us already and props for the one your working on for us all again for future release.  Gorgeous fan made stuff...everybit as good as ( better ) than some of the FFG ( yours is more convenient  )

 Oof. Somehow I missed that one.

I think I must've forgotten to include it due to deliberately omitting the Irontalon pistol. Thanks to Rogue Trader's Naval Pistol, which is less rare and basically better in every way, there was no reason for me to bother keeping the first one around, and since that's how the pistol portion of the Chimera works...

That should be correct, yeah.

@MalikCarr:

 

A revised edition incorporating the new equipment from The Book of Judgement and Hostile Acquisitons would make you, sir, become my personal hero. :)

 

I really appreciate the work you put into compiling the handbook.

 I'm working on it as time and effort permits (mostly effort... it's like the tides, it comes and it goes, you know?).
