Hi all,
I'm new to the Conclave and have been looking at Inquisitor.
After reading all the advice on character creation, I was wondering what sort of physical characteristics a child would have? Basically I would like a general statline for a 12 year old boy.
Thanks in advance.

Annika (http://www.buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/inq/archive/mechanicus_annika.jpg) was aimed at about 8 or so and i went for:
WS BS S T I Wp Sg Nv Ld
30 0 22 35 41 45 36 40 32
Armour: Av1 to all locations
Equipment: Rownes' Servoskull (when using Sg, 50% chance of +50Sg)
Special Abilities:
Machine Empathy (may use Sg, must be in Base2Base), Small Size (-15% to hit Annika)
Shin Kick (in melee, if does any damage, may automatically break free from combat and move upto 4")
the Familiar (included with the Deamonhuntress Profile) was:
WS BS S T I Wp Sg Nv Ld
25 27 34 41 70 - 94 42 18
do you have any details on the character you are creating? that would help with generating a profile...
Well they are not quite children but basically, it is 2 twin brothers who are powerful psykers and through a unique mutation(they believe that it is related to their psychic ability) their bodies don't age.
In that case the only stats that you would have to keep low would be the strength and toughness, all the other things can change without the body ageing.
I would argue that there should be a penalty to heir leadership when trying to interact with characters who don't know them; no-one is likely to look to someone who looks like a child for guidance unless they know that they're not really children and at in fact psykers who have an unanny knack of finishing each other's sentences. I like the idea of the disease though.

Hmm. Sounds an awful lot like the Apex twins, to me.
The Apex Twins?
How about this for the base statline then:
WS BS S T I Wp Sg Nv Ld
40 45 27 32 61 79 74 63 48
They are actually both inquisitors....
P.S.
Should I post the full characters in this thread or make a new one?
Edited: re Robskib's comments.

from The Inquisition (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Respa_III#.Txp8qoFdto8) by Black Library .. i've not read it, so can't go into detail.. i was thinking Village Of The Damned (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Village_of_the_Damned_%281960_film%29) :lol:

Those are quite high stats, even for an adult. The BS is representative of a highly trained marksman, even touching on the realms of Vindicare assassins. The S and T are what I'd expect from the Average Imperial Citizen, not so much a child, and the Wp and Sg are around the region of an experienced field Inquisitor, although I understand you're going to make them powerful psykers, so this makes sense.
I would consider dropping most of the stats by at least 10, and bringing the BS down to a similar level to the rest of the stats. Don't forget, when you're using psychic projectiles, you substitute BS for Wp when working out whether you hit or not.
It's worth having a read through this guide (http://carthax.wikispaces.com/Creating+Characters) for creating characters for the first time, it gives you a well-balanced idea of where characters 'sit' on the 0-100 scale. If you feel like you need a bit more depth, there's a guide for the physical characteristics (http://carthax.wikispaces.com/Physical+characteristics) and mental characteristics (http://carthax.wikispaces.com/Mental+characteristics) alike.
Changed it up a bit. The bs was a misstype, it was meant to be 55.

I know they're children, but I would consider giving them a little bit of armour, or some sort of field. If they're going to be inquisiting in the line of fire, then that low toughness will make it extremely eawasy to hurt them, as their BIV will be 4. This means that you will take an average of 2 levels of damage from a lasgun hit. Furthermore, said lasgun hit will also force a system shock test, which you will pass roughly 1/3 of the time. The effect of three or four hits to the character will result in them exceeding their conciiousness value, thus taking them out of the game.
There are upsides, however. Both could have true grit as long as the other is concious, to represent them keeping each other concious through their empathic bond. As inquisitors, it shouldn't be too hard for them to get hold of things such as protective fields in order to protect themselves.
I must say that I'm quite curious about their background, lots of other inquisitors might think their unique abilities to be beyond what is allowed, which would of course give interesting conflicts.
Protection wise the cryomancer will be carrying a D10 forcefield, while the pyromancer is sporting a displacer field, and the cryomancer can add D6+2 armour with a persistent power, while the pyromancer has a persistent power that acts as a Displacer field that makes him travel D6 as opposed to D10(while he starts telepathically projecting Can't Touch This).
Background wise I only have a few things sorted:
They are both Inquisitors of the Ordo Chronos(linkie: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Ordo_Chronos#) or Ordo Sepultrum(thoughts?)
They are part of the polypsykana faction(Duh!!! http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Polypsykana#.TxtSrqWtK8A)
On their 14 birthday, they fell ill, and were comatose for the next three months, when they awoke, they had changed. Developing psychic ability.
Their parents were a currently unnamed psychic inquisitor(also polypsykana) and his psychic acolyte/wife.
Drakken's (cryomancer) acolyte is also his love interest, she is a telepath(Don't have a name for her yet, any suggestions?).
Keln (pyromancer) is a bachelor and a womaniser, however looking like an adolescent does occasionally make things difficult
Keln's acolyte is a martial artist telekine(also no name as yet)
That's all I have atm
