Editing Dark Heresy Second Edition (section)

====Fate Points and Wounds====
For both of these, your starting number is also the maximum you regenerate to - if you start with 4 Fate Points, the most you can have is 4, and if you start with 2, the most you can have is 2 (Fate Points come back every session, but your maximum can come up if you encounter a mechanic for getting more mid-session).  Same with Wounds - whatever you start with is how many you can be healed up to.

You gain more maximum wounds later with the Sound Constitution talent (300 experience, 200 with the Toughness aptitude, per buy, maximum buys Toughness Bonus + 1); you only gain maximum Fate Points as the GM's discretion, and the rulebook has a stern warning that this should be given out very rarely for monumental accomplishments or selfless sacrifices. However, you do get a chance to start with one extra maximium Fate Point via the Emperor's Blessing; roll a d10 and if it's greater than or equal to the result designated by your homeworld you'll get the bonus.
