So I found something that may be of interest to the thread. There was a lot of discussion with regards to Angron and the Butcher's Nail.

One thing I found when going through his page is that, between landing and being found, only a 'brief' amount of time passed.

Of interest is that we are currently ~759.M30.

So we got like 200 years to save him. I think that we can pull that of.
 
So, is it just me, or do the various 'schools' of psykery have different ranges according to their required finesse? Flesh manipulation needs to be in roughly Seras' immediate area, while technomancy can at least cover a few kilometers to control a Dreadnaught. Elemental goes further, up to continents, and rift closure (and opening?) can up up to planetary scale. Finally, upper-limit divination is outright galactic.

Not really necessary. We can probably learn about it around a decade it would happen and can just take some time to get to him. Serras also has no IC reason to even look for him so she'd have no IC reason to. Finally divination can get kind of sketchy once things get far enough due to people being able to change the future.
 
So, some other Primarch had adoptive human parents. How many had close relationships with adoptive siblings?
 
Actually, if Serras enhances her siblings to be Beta rank psykers they'd still be relevant players on the Imperial scale at this point. Particularly with the genetic enhancement and training she could give them.

Primarchs even without psyker powers are pretty much the most powerful and skill human in the history of mankind. They'd be immensely relevant on the galactic scale even without psyker powers.

Oh, in that case should still point out that they are unlikely to be able to handle Beta powers since people that can handle them are rare. Even a lot of the weaker levels would be out for many. That said I do think that we should really raise medicine so that we can work on genetic engineering since as shown with the one based on Serras' DNA at the moment those give great boosts to the population and to research in general.

It would also let us start working on creating rejuvenats to stop our most skilled people from dying of old age. For a few centuries at least, maybe more. Though looking at some of our teachers and SLs we should probably get working on that sooner than later.
 
I have to admit that I'm losing something along the way of the chain of logic that says that Serras' siblings may be unsuitable to be boosted to beta rank.

Serras is strong enough that pure fate manipulation should be enough. Beyond that, all the rest of her panoply of skills is present. She can literally create the patterns of thought in their minds.

It's outright mentioned by Serras herself that most people just don't have the willpower to not stay uncorrupted. Giving the power of a beta to a child who may not even be able to handle seems like a very stupid idea. Rewriting someones mind, especially a childs for power is pretty damn unethical. There is also the case that people really wouldn't appreciate having their fate manipuplated and I am pretty sure that comes with hard limits as shown with the Emperor who missed a lot of things despite his power.

Finally pretty sure it's a balancing mechanism to prevent us from just spamming Beta's whenever since that would break the game.

we could still give them a lower level of psychic power and work our way up while training them to a level of power in accordance to their willpower.
 
I think the plan was to train up the kid's stats and SL in general. If we want to give them Psyker powers, then make willpower and Control/Piety one of the stats we train up. I don't think we were ever planning on giving anyone more psychic power than they could handle.
 
On the stat Crystals. If we spend four Major Actions a turn, we can get five stat points a turn. So in addition to maybe some Power, we can get to 25 Combat, and after that either 50 Control or 50 Combat, presuming we don't get too much other stuff popping up that requires Major Actions. Which might happen, due to the whole preparing for Orks thing.

We can use minor actions for training as well, though this turn we filled those up with SL and training Psyker Esoteric for the most part.

SL...
Speaking of SL, when do we stop advancing those?

I don't really want our parents for instance, to make it to 10, where they'd be like
AN SL of 10 would gladly sacrifice themselves to buy you an extra moment of life against a foe none of you had any hope of beating (Think Ollanius' sacrifice, but entirely because they cared about you personally).

Fanaticism in our personal relationships strikes me as 'bad' so, how high do we want to go before stopping?
