Wasn't there a chest plate as well? It's not on our character sheet though. Think there might have been an amulet too?
But anyways based on MMOs, there should still be pants, boots, gloves, and probably a shield to go with the sword. Maybe a second ring too.
The tyrant lizard alpha had the Black Crystal Sword as a toothpick.

We currently have the Brestplate from Garkill's final Waargh (It was originally on a King Croc, but the Ork nabbed it). It drastically increases our toughness over all, presumably part of why Rotbart took so little damage from the Chapter Master and captain.
There's also a necklace, which does the normal BCJ things, but its special feature is that it enhances telepathy, which we can't use so we lend it to Tamia when she's doing big things. We keep it most of the time for the boost though.
There's a full suit of armour (possibly?) another ring and a pistol.
Vlad used to have the full set, but left it behind when he left, giving it to the President of Helheim when he left.
The president used one of the rings as a signet.

Yes, it was asked before.
By you IIRC.
The answer was a no, as I recall, for a bunch of reasons.

I've forgotten the reasons. I don't see any real reason why it would be impossible, given that the Imperium's colonisation of the planet included plenty of civilians instead of just soldiers. Can you remind me what they were?
IIRC it's a combination of them not quite trusting us yet, and much the same reason Midgardians don't want to move to Avernus anymore - standards of living have gotten better enough that "galaxy's most deadly Death World" no longer sounds better than "living in the lower levels of a Hive". That it was ever so bad that Avernus seemed like the better deal speaks volumes about the Imperium.

IIRC it was things like
No point due to damage to the Avernite abhuman progress, it would take too long for it to be worth it, chaos infiltrators, BD infiltrators and the Blood Dragon's won't let us.
Apparently they're of the opinion that its a waste of time for similar reasons to Midgard now, which is that its an overly complex way of executing people

Wait what? How is "delaying the corruption of the holy human form" considered a bad thing in-universe?

Considering the Catachan (Abs are flack armour), Valhallans (-20 is niiiiice) Mechanicus (ALL OF THE METAL!!) ect. are a thing I somehow do not think anyone considers what Avernites "corruption of the holy human form."
+ We're not the Imperium and Lin doesn't put so much emphasis on that crap.
And before you say no he does, another question of yours revealed that he considers human xenos hybrid that are non hostile fine. Seeing as that should be the ultimate perversion of the human form I think a bit of acceleration on the emps psycic human project is fine.

There's a difference between "fine to be" and "fine to create". (In other words, it's ok to be Lofn but it's not fine to conceive Lofn.) He's displayed the former attitude, but there's no evidence to say that he supports the latter attitude.
Shouldn't these be on a character sheet somewhere then? I still don't see them.

He's expressed no irritation at what seems to be a natural part of the human biology of this universe.
He's not getting irritated at Midgard's move towards ever more efficient digestive systems and nutrient storage, or the human natural progression towards Psycic awakening.
I find it very unlikely that he's going to be irritated at Avernites becoming more chaos resistant and generally better.
Shrug.
Dunno, the Neck lass at least isn't too important for Rotbart.
@Durin
1. Is Lin against the steady progress towards the Avernite abhuman?
Thank you thank you thank you
Now I got ideas on what it is

Dunno if we need to go that far.
My current favourite one is that Scott accidentally turns Sanctus Foreum from an incredibly powerful Machine Spirit (basically a powerful VI though whether or not it is warp based is unknown) into a full AI.
Others include
KAJU BATTLE DEEP ONE VS OPHELIA WITH BACK UP FIGHT!
We contact Ari and she decides we're ****ed so she moves into the Unseen University intended to get us up to speed...good, but also bad.
We accidentally make an unimportant department very powerful.
We accidentally make a university rock choir! (problem cause slaaneshi influence)

1. no, he tells you that the Emperor wanted Humanity to grow into its full potential, not be locked in its current form. He is a bit worried that Avernus may be controlling the progress however, but that is mostly because he does not in any way trust the planet, or understand it.He's expressed no irritation at what seems to be a natural part of the human biology of this universe.

@Durin
1. Under his 4 types of God format, does a potential entity like the Planet Mind either here or potentially on Fenris fall into the god side of things?
2. A curiosity question, IIRC you said 70 is "divine" in terms of stats is it possible for
A. A God in their area of speciality to have even higher stats i.e. 80 Martial/combat for Khorne
B. A non God being to get to 70 in a stat (for instance Jacob getting to 70 combat as crazy as that is)
3. Do we know who or what is currently in charge of the Valinor polity?
4. Does Lin have any recommendations for what should happen if we meet the Planet Mind (if such is even possible?)
5. Given what we currently know about her does Lin have anything interesting to say on Arietha?

1. It axtally could be any
2.
A. Yes
B. Unknown, that may be a way to become a god
3. No
4. Only the obvious, don't worship and and don't anger it
5. Not particularly

@Durin
1. To go back to the God point, do stats enter the equation when looking at different power gods? For example Ynneed is not as powerful as a Chaos God, but it is still a God. Would any stats besides maybe the power stat (as that looks at psycic strength) be different to account for that difference in power?
2. Do any of the People/Guardian's we've met worship the planet itself? IIRC you said the Sirens worship different versions of the Eldar Gods?

Here's an interesting idea of an ISOT omake; the Trust being inserted into the current 40k setting. How would Roboute react and respond, how would the Imperium deal with a human civilization that is both heretical to them while also potentially acting on the commands of the Emperor? How would the Emperor himself react and respond since he is to an extent aware of the situation befalling humanity.
After all in the universe that the Trust comes from the Imperium has become nothing more a legend to most of humanity, most of which is dead or corrupted, the Emperor died and was usurped by the fifth God of Chaos and then there's the Trust one of the few domains to remain loyal to him. Loyal enough to remain committed to what the Imperium could have been but never was.
Thoughts on this idea?

Well if it turns up in the cluster that is the current 40K universe...dunno.
I don't know enough about it. My current read on Roboute is that he is easily pragmatic enough to accept the Trust, our tech ect. and he'd probably be glad that there are some humans who cleave to something resembling the Imperial Truth, but he'd be paranoid as hell given our more radical leanings in some areas, though given where we are we'd probably be interacting more with Dante.
Quite a lot of it would depend on Lin and I doubt we'd get along well with the normal Imperials.
Personally I've always found it more interesting to ISOT us back to the Great Crusade period. Sometime around the Ullanor Crusade.
