Hi guys,
I have a couple questions for the players that were lucky enough to be around in the 80's and/or have played RT.

What do LD, WP, INT, and CL actually entail?

From what I've read, it seems that Willpower is for protecting from psychic attacks and whatnot, Intelligence is for weapons and stupidity, and that Cool is mostly for not freaking out when your squad is getting killed. Are these ideas correct at all?
Also, what does LD do then in RT, as it seems like now LD is a combination of all of this stuff.

Next, for Lost and the Damned:

What were the rewards for devotion to Tzeentch and Nurgle?

Having looked over Slaves to Darkness, I know that following Khorne gave you Chaos Armor and a free mutation, and that Slaanesh gave you +1 WP, but what did Tzeentch and Nurgle give you for being a Champion of them?

Thanks,
Vlad

Leadership.
Willpower.
Inteligence
Cool.

No really, Cool. From what I remember there was a distinction between your actual ability to lead (Leadership) and how calm and cool you were under fire and when taking losses (Cool).

But more advanced than everyone having Ld8+ and Fearless like we do now.

Very helpful, thank you. And yeah, pretty much ANYTHING is more advanced than what we have now.

I have a feeling my LatD question is never going to be answered because the book is so rare. :(

Nobody?

I was hoping that Trenchie or Kid Kyoto or someone else with the proper knowledge might stop by.

I have a copy, but some of the pages are missing. I'll check a bit later when I've got some time.

Very cool, thank you.

Also, if you could elaborate on stuff like LD10+3, Int10+3, and so on.

Sorry, I'm just interested and I don't want you to have to go out of your way(unless you want to!) to appease some n00b.
