OK, I'm going through the book and I notice that the British Chaplain has an RC 4+ and the note below it states he's got combat training. However, it also states he has None for Equipment. Also he has Pacifism.
I can see the Pacisfism still working, as he can still make attacks against non-human adversaries, but what does he have to make those attacks with?

Throwing Holy Water or stakes, maybe?

OK, still haven't gotten any serious answer on this. My group is planning on running a campaign, we've got some newbies and lots of questions forming. Given the interest in SS Occult units, there has been a lot of interest in fielding chaplains lately.
Am I safe to assume a pistol? And with the Pacifism ability, does that mean he can only use it against non-human models?

Thanks for your patience. Cheers, Chris |

No equipment means no equipment. Of the three chaplains in the Occult book, only the German one was issued a sidearm by his nation's military. The British chaplain does not have a weapon as standard kit. If he is made a hero or the beneficiary of a special order, he may then gain access to a weapon, however is still not allowed to use the weapon against another human being, only against animals or supernatural creatures.

So that means he's unarmed unless he gets a hero template like One Man Army. Where he gains an LMG and hand grenades. And the RC stat allows him to use them, but because of his Pacifism only against non-human threats. Same thing as his detachment having the Molotov thingytails special order.
So my One Man Army Chaplain now armed with a Vickers and hand grenades along with his Bible and vestments can now mow down vampires and werewolves while saying "I kick arse for The Lord!"
OK, that makes sense! Thanks.

Exactly. There will be other hero types from time to time that also give a weapon of some sort and the same rules apply. In the case of a SO, he would also gain whatever weaponry the rest of the detachment has.
Unlike American and German chaplains, British chaplains did receive combat training, so they knew how to handle themselves even if they weren't expected to do any actual fighting. Hence the British chaplian has higher stats than his American and German counterparts.

Funny I was thinking the Rocket Hero as well.  not sure if it would work as it is an America Hero type? Sorry don't have my book with me.  |

It would. The chaplain can be upped to Hero status, just not his assistant.

But last I checked, a British chap can't take a US hero type.
