While it is fun to build a character at the start of Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, taking a preset build is equally viable. If you’ve settled on Bahardor, read on for my full build guide.
By taking a pre-generated character in Bahardor, your archetype (Warrior) and Background (Commissar and Death World) are set for you. This means you begin with bonuses to Strength (+5), Toughness (+5), Agility (+5), and Weapon Skill (+5), but -5 to Intelligence and Awareness. You’ll start with skill bonuses to Coercion (+10) and Athletics (+5), and the At All Costs, Charge, and Survival Instincts features, helping both attack skills and survivability.

The version of Bahador you’ll create here will be a fearless tank, always on the front lines dealing out big melee damage while protecting their companions. It’s important to note here that, at any time, it’s simpleto respechim if this build doesn’t quite fit with the way you’ve set up your other companions.

Best Bahardor Skills in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
These are the best skills for Bahardor, but you may want to spread the points differently if other members of the team you settle on are better suited to those skills. However, it is worth having more than one character who is good at each skill, as sometimes you need to change your team due to character restrictions for a mission.
How to play Bahardor in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
Position Bahardor as far forward as possible andget into melee quickly, using your skills to attack fast andengage the targetsyou want to stop getting to your DPS and support teammates. Protection is your main asset, so target bosses or higher health targets whileblocking lanesto increase your chances atattacks of opportunity.
Best Bahardor Weapons & Items in Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader
I prefer theAxeas Bahardor’s main weapon. you’re able to do both single and multi-target attacks, with hits inflicting bleeding. This is great for enemies with high Wounds, which you’ll often be putting yourself up against. Go for theLas Rifleas your switch weapon, because you’ll get a crit bonus from Trusty Weapons and be able to attack on those (hopefully rare) occasions when you can’t engage in melee.
In the early missions, look out for theThrice-Pioneer’s Bracers, which reduce your target’s attack skills on successful hits, and thePneumo Boots(reduce Charge to using 0AP, from Thundefang in Act 1, Fellowship of the Void) while equipping as wide an array of grenades as you can. Beyond that, look for any items that increase survivability, increase movement, or up your melee damage output.
