Psychics
Using Psychic Techniques
When a psyker uses a psychic technique, he has a choice of using it at Fettered Psychic Strength (Half of his Active Psy Rating, rounding up),
Unfettered Psychic Strength (Full Psy Rating) strength, or he may try to Push it.Depending on the strength used, consult the following chart and apply
the appropriate result.
Pushing Psychic Techniques
Astropaths and other sanctioned psykers may add up to +3 to their Psy Rating when determining the final pushed strength of the power. Other psykers
have a deeper connection to the wild surges of the warp and may add up to +4 to their final psy rating push result but at even greater risk. Any push can
result in scores over ten, but if a psyker has more than one source increasing the final effective Psy Rating, only the highest is applied.
Focus Power
Any use of a psychic technique starts with the Focus Power Action. This is usually represented by a Test, either Skill or Characteristic, to make the
power function or to generate successes. Focus Power is the catch-all phrase used to encompass the many different tests that may be required—
Willpower, Psyniscience, etc. In any Focus Power Test, the Psyker adds +5 to his Focus Power score for each level of Psy Rating. A result of “100” on
this Test always indicates failure. If something adds or subtracts from a psyker’s Focus Power score, that means it directly adds or subtracts from the
Test(s) required for a given power or technique. Some psychic
powers and psychic techniques do not require a roll, but they all require this Instant Action to Focus Power. If a Test is not required to use a power or
technique, it will not trigger a Psychic Phenomena check if used at the Unfettered Psychic Strength level. Any power used at the Push Psychic Strength
will always trigger a phenomena check as indicated on table Table 6–2: Psychic Strength.
Sustaining Multiple Powers
Maintaining two powers at the same time reduces the effective Psy Rating of both powers by 2. Maintaining three powers reduces the Psy Rating of all
powers by 3 and so on. No additional roll is required, but if the Psy Rating of a given power drops to zero, it is no longer maintainable and ends. If a
character suffers Psychic Phenomena while maintaining multiple active powers, the additional energy he is channeling is likely to go out of control or
otherwise worsen matters, adding +10 to the result rolled on the chart per additional
power he is maintaining.
Range and Line of Sight
Unless noted in their descriptions, psychic powers that are targeted directly against other individuals require the psyker to either have line of sight or
otherwise be ‘aware’ of the target of his powers, as well as the target to be inside the power’s stated range.
Opposed Tests and Multiple Targets
Where a psychic power is being used against multiple
targets, each of which may make an Opposed Test against its effects, roll once for the Psyker and have all those opposing individually test against this
single result.
Detecting Psychic Techniques
All psykers can Test Psyniscience when Psychic Techniques are in effect in their presence in order to determine their source (see Chapter III: Skills,
page 84 for details on this skill).
