I'm hoping to get a critical, or at least a higher result. This seems like the kind of action that could get Lin a new trait, which could boost his Piety and get him closer to Transcendence, which could stop him from dying.

I'm more concerned with information, personally.

Not critting the Psyker Education and Psyker Genetic rolls was a sad day. Particularly since the latter had enough bonuses to have 99% success probability.
 
[X] Plan Enjou T102

I like DeusFerreus's extreme Deiphobe upgrade plan, but I'm concerned about our resources. Plus I like Enjou's Munitorum plan better because he put the longest projects first (ensuring they'll all finish around the same time).

Changed vote, I'd rather divine The Destroyer and I like 6 orders of orbital platforms. Also I'd rather get Jacob a set of relics than just a relic sword.

1. Sorry for asking this, but it is an interesting question. If we get the designs for Grav Shear weapons including the swords, would Jacob get that if we commissioned a weapon from Svartalfheim?
 
Thinking about if the Nids do reach the galaxy they're going probably an entirely different form of monster than what the Trust was use to, after all they would have had to adapt to the Necrons going all out. Which reminds me; if we can I'd like to someday Divine the war in the void between the Necrons and Tyranids for a few reasons. 1) Try to get an idea for when the Necrons make their big return. 2) Get some perspective of what we're up against once they've returned. 3) Investigate how severe of a threat the Tyranids might be if/when they reach the galaxy.

Research: Power Melody Composition- The recent joint research project between Headmaster Ridcully and Primaris Jameson made several major discoveries, one of which is that the closer the melody of songweaving matches the required frequencies of a power the more effective the power is. While the exact mechanisms of this increase are as yet not understood Primaris Jameson thinks that she will be able to figure out how to compose melodies that match the powers used.

Time: 7 years
Chance of Success: 40% (uses learning)

Cost: 39,000,000 Thrones, 390,000 Material, 850 Advanced Material, 95 Exotic Material.
Reward: Primaris Jameson figures out how to compose a melody that matches the power better.

1.Would this work with the powers that make up Neo-Astrotelepathy?
2.If so would it have separate effects for projectors and receivers or one total effect?
3.Is this action a general study thing or a power-by-power thing? because it sounds like it should be a general study thing, but the phrasing almost sounds power by power.

4. What do current Admech tech preservation protocols look like? We're a small polity and losing stuff in a Trust-wide invasion or civil war is a serious risk.
What I'm hoping for is a vault in every fortified position in the Trust with significant Admech presence, and some fortified areas without that, but with a couple of Admech guards specifically to keep the vault safe(and destroy their contents if breached), each containing a copy of our useful technical knowledge, some vaults on stealth ships in the deep void, and maybe a couple of time capsule vaults they paid to setup in the nearly impossible to scry, incredibly challenging to travel through, sections of Avernus(Under Dis? Underwater near the coast?).
5. If tech preservation protocols don't look like the above, or better, how can we fix that? write an Omake?

6. I had an idea I want to ask about:
Can we use the heads up displays or the indirect perception of the vehicular sealed video cockpits to break up or block out (visual or auditory)perception of memetic hazards, then highlight their position well enough to attack them unimpaired, as a means of reducing the mental load involved in resisting Chaos corruption while fighting Chaos?
I think this might be worthwhile because it's the memory of a chaos rune or daemon existing in their mind that makes people especially vulnerable to corruption a long time after their exposure, even if they never went anywhere near them or were subject to any specific attempt to corrupt them, so not only might it help with the aftermath, but it might reduce what has to be resisted to active telepathic and soul altering attempts.

7. What does Saint Lin think of including some training against harmless illusions and mental intrusion as a side goal of religious proceedings(possibly across the Trust), to get some kind of bonus against Psykers and Chaos?(after meditating on divinity)
8. Would we need to study more animals with potentially harmless illusions to do that?
 
@Durin, I have some questions:
1) I think that electric on vanilla power sword will work for Jacob better than fire sword, since it may be too flashy for stealthy fighter like him. Is it valid assumption?
2) IIRC, shape and size aren't much important, so he can adapt to it with ease?
3) How good would such a variant work?
"A power sword with straight medium sized blade and handle that can be used with one or two hands. Electric effect is invisible and almost inaudible until connects to the target, and can be turned off for situations where it's undesired. Blade is made of opaque Angelsteel. Rune of banishment provides a boon against psykers and daemons."
4) What about this?
"A power sword with straight medium sized blade and handle that can be used with one or two hands. Power Field generator of the highest quality allows incredible efficiency, greatly increasing both armor penetration and damage, as power field of such strength damages material of the target in some radius from the cut itself. It has several regimes, some with lesser power in case that it's normal settings would be excessive, and possibility of temporary bursts of even higher power, after which cooling down at lower setting will be necessary. Blade is made of opaque Angelsteel. Rune of banishment provides a boon against psykers and daemons."
5) Can we specify the sword to be made by Granalf personally?
6) If so, how much will it increase quality and cost?
7) How much time would it's making take?

Pretty sure we don't get much if any say in the matter.

It's made for him after all, he's probably going to correspond with the Artisan and they'll make the best weapon for him.

He's a paragon artisan, who's paragon trait explicitly increases the effects of relics that he creates. It also cost 100 credits for him to make us a personalised set of power armour.
 
I think Jacob deserves to have his equipment crafted personally by Granalf. I want something that's better than Surtbrander.
 
I prefer a standard precise sword.

Just a sword, no flaminess or chemicals or whatnot have you, just high maximal sharpness, balance and so.
 
Now here's an interesting question.

Surtbrander multiplies Surt's melee damage by 8 I believe (it does) and at a base human scale terminator armour multiplies his damage by 3.5.

Does that mean that when wearing his armour he gets a total damage multiplication of 11.5?
