A school for the cursed: A Psyker Quest. Warhammer 40k quest.

I am really getting a kick out of how well this Renown system is working in making people make these sorts of decisions!

It is very fitting that the same 'how kind can I be, when should I enforce my authority' decisions Occam needs to make, are also made by the readers.
 
That is a *lot* of abandoned territory.

I do worry about maintaining our cover, but making mercy our first instinct is significant enough I have to vote for it.
The document does not reveal its importance easily. (-30)
Target Difficulty (Psy-rating * 10) + Difficulty = 80
Occam rolled 45
Honesty compels me to wonder if this should have actually been a 20 target and you went the wrong way with the difficulty modifier?

Or is that why we built up warp charges, to boost our rating?

Big derp on my part. But the result is the same.

Target Difficulty (Psy-rating * 10) + Difficulty = 50 +- 30 = 20

Two degrees of failure. You build up 2 Warp Charges for a minor success.


Psy-Rating is not strength, just your capacity to wield your power. You are at 50/50 to be able to perform a 'challenging' psychic ability without needing to draw upon the warp.

A challenging ability for occam being 'I just turned your tank inside out with my mind.'

- while i do enjoy playing as a sneering imperialist, the fact that we also have to go through the lands of these barbaric knights with early gunpowder weapons means that we have to diplomance them if we dont want to be harrased every step of the way.

So does that mean we can't really fail a psychic check as long as we have warp charge to spare unless it's a crit fail? From the looks of it it's 1 warp charge per 10 we miss by so even a 90 on a 20 check would fall within our 10 warp charge limit.

Which I guess is fair for a full fledged psyker doing psykery in a calm setting and not needing to spam powers one after another?

Provided you are not doing something beyond your abilities? Pretty much.

You are trained enough that even in a badly failed manifestation, a psychic casting will at most make reality get a bit fucky-wucky around the edges and possibly maim you and very likely hurt bystanders.
