[RPG] How many wounds does a Rogue Trader character start with

character-creationrogue-trader

I do not seem to be able to see where in the RT core rulebook you can work out how many wounds a character starts with. During character creation there are modifiers to it, mostly through career path, but what exactly should the base figure be?

Based on the NPCs provided in the introductory campaign I would assume this figure would be around 20 to 25.

I would appreciate knowing what page actually states this.

Starting wounds depend on your homeworld, and can be found in the section starting on page 17 of the core rulebook.

For example, Deathworld characters start with (2 x Toughness Bonus) + (1d5 + 2)

Ex. Toughness = 35 (aka. bonus of 3). The 1d5 gives a 4.

For our death-worlder, this would result in; (2 x 3) + (4 + 2) = 12 wounds
