Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader · Basic archetype
Operative
Operative uses Intelligence and Perception to identify enemy weaknesses, apply exploit stacks, and reduce defenses before attacking a target.
How it works
The supplied guide describes Operatives as suited to precise single attacks, defense penetration, area debuffs, and maintaining a firing position. Analyze Enemies applies an exploit stack to hostiles in line of sight. Expose Weakness lowers a target’s dodge, parry, and armor based on removed exploit stacks and the Operative’s Perception bonus. Listed Advanced paths are Assassin, Bounty Hunter, and Grand Strategist.
