AoS: Soulbound’s Character Sheet Revealed – Launches Soon
Soulbound is set to release the week of May the 4th, and in anticipation of that, here’s a look at the character sheet as the AoS RPG approaches its final form.
Age of Sigmar: Soulbound, the roleplaying game set in the mortal realms is on track to release in a little more than a week, opening the gateway to adventure for fans of that particular world of Warhammer. Take up arms as a Stormcast Eternal, Black Ark Corsair, or any of the myriad models that populate games of Age of Sigmar and dive into a roleplaying system developed by Cubicle 7, who are currently in the midst of their 40K RPG release. They’re killing it with all things GW right now, so let’s take a look at the new character sheet.

1) Personal Details
This is where you fill in your character’s personal details, such as their name, Species , Archetype, and physical appearance.
2) Attributes & Skills
You note your Attributes and Skills here. Your Attributes are determined by the Archetype you choose.
Your Skills can have both Training and Focus ranging from level 1 to 3. Each level of Training adds a die to your dice pool for Tests, each level of Focus adds +1 to a single die.
We discussed Skills, Attributes, and Tests in detail here and here.
3) Goals and Connections
Goals are your character’s ambitions in life. Short-term Goals are things you can conceivably achieve in the near future — a day, a week, maybe a month. Long-term Goals represent something your character hopes to achieve in the distant future — over the course of weeks, months, or their entire lifetime. You earn XP by achieving your Goals.
Connections are fragments of history and shared experiences that tie you to one or more members of the group.
4) Talents
Talents are the unique abilities, tricks, and quirks you have learned throughout your life. Your Archetype lists a Core Talent and gives you a number of Talents to choose from. As you advance, you can spend XP to learn more Talents.
5) Combat Abilities
Here is where you note your combat abilities, including Melee, Accuracy, Defence, Initiative, and Armour. Your Melee, Accuracy, and Defence are noted on ‘The Ladder’, which ranges from Poor to Extraordinary. You compare your Melee or Accuracy to your opponents Defence to determine the DN of the attack. We discussed this in more detail in a previous post here.
You also use this section to track your current and total Mettle and Toughness. Mettle represents your fighting spirit and the well of reserves you can tap into when things look their worst. Mettle is a finite resource that is used to fuel a number of Talents, such as Miracles, and is used during combat to take extra actions. Toughness is how much damage you can take before you start to suffer Wounds.
6) Wounds
This is your Wound track. To calculate your Wounds, add Body + Mind + Soul and divide the result by two, rounding up. The result is the amount of spaces you have on your track. The remaining spaces should be filled in. As you suffer Wounds, you will fill in spaces on your track. When all spaces are filled and you would suffer a Wound, you become Mortally Wounded.
7) Attacks
This is where you list your various attacks. You list the weapon, your total dice pool for the attack, any Focus you have to modify the results, the Damage the weapon deals, and any Traits the weapon has.
8) Portrait, Background, and Notes
Here you can draw your character (or upload an image if you’re using a digital character sheet), make notes on your character’s background and history, and keep track of important information.
9) Equipment, Gear, and Currency
Equipment is where you note what your character is wearing and any weapons they are wiedling. You can also keep track of any other gear they might have, either on their person or in storage.
The Cities of Sigmar use Aqua Ghyranis as currency, which is measured in drops, phials, and spheres. Aqua Ghyranis is your wealth, but it can also be used to heal serious injuries so you’ll need to watch how you’re spending it!
10) Spells & Miracles
If your character has the Spellcasting or Blessed Talents, you will have a number of spells or Miracles you know. You can track these here.
We’ll be back with more next week!
