TEXT: EExxtteennddeedd  CChhaarraacctteerr  BBaacckkggrroouunnddss  aanndd  CCaarreeeerrss  
  This document is simply an extension of 
  the original article by Wim van Gruisen 
  that appears in Liber Fanatica – Volume 
  1. The original article contains rules for 
  selecting a character background, skills 
  and talents, and a career. This current 
  document adds some of the additional 
  careers that have appeared since the 
  backgrounds article was created. The 
  additional careers included here are for 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  user 
  made 
  content 
  available at the Black Industries site fan 
  material site, 
  http://www.blackindustries.com/default.
  asp?range=wfrp&template=fanmaterial, 
  among other places. I do not use all of the 
  available careers and neither do I have 
  access to any of the official careers that 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  included 
  in 
  Black 
  Industries source books or publications. 
  A list of the careers that I include is 
  shown below. 
   
  The process for selecting a Background 
  remains unchanged from the method 
  outlined in Liber Fanatica. Skills and 
  Talents can be determined as outlined in 
  Liber Fanatica, though I feel that too 
  many starting abilities are afforded by 
  this method. I instead use the following 
  rules:
