wrong Magnus used to see warp through lence of mysticism, we are using pure science to understand warp, both are different approaches, Magnus considered/advocated that we should play with Warp without any restraint, here we are learning about warp with proper caution and restraint, which is completely different than Magnus's approach.

@ilbgar123 Question! Shouldn't Psyker: Manipulation be at 80 and not 75???
Also, update to my Char Sheet.
Also, update to my Char Sheet.
Name: Serras Salnus (The Warp-Spawn Primarch)
Age: 4
Homeworld: Thernus
Stats
Martial: 14 + 10 (Primarch) = 24.
Combat: 9 + 10 (Primarch) = 19.
Administration: 18 + 10 (Primarch) = 28.
Intrigue: 5 + 10 (Primarch) = 15.
Diplomacy: 8 + 10 (Primarch) = 18.
Power: 14 + 10 (Primarch) + 9 (Powerful Psyker) + 2 (Warp Spawn) = 35.
Control: 14 + 10 (Primarch) + 2 (Warp Spawn) = 26.
Learning: 20 + 10 (Primarch) = 30.
Boni
Mentors. For each Stat, add 15 to each Stat-boost roll unless otherwise stated. All Skills gain +15 instead of 10 until 50. [Turn 1]
Due to synergy with Mentors, all three Psyker Skills gain 15, save the previously tagged Psyker: Manipulation, which gains 20. [Turn 1]Genetic Testing. In 5 years, widespread genetic augmentation will begin, which will provide a bonus to project rolls and background rolls involving the population of the system. [Started Turn 2, Finishes
Skill training bonus extended to 100 for Psyker Skills. [Turn 2]
Skill training bonus extended to 100 for Medicine Skills. [Turn 3]
Skill training bonus extended to 100 for Evasion Skills. [Turn 4]Turn 6Turn 5]
Genetics Research accelerated by 1 year (will finish at the end of Turn 5) and all future Genetics Projects gain a +5 bonus. [Turn 4 RER]Improved Las-Tech. +5 to PDF combat rolls. +5 to attempts to shoot down missiles and boarding craft. [Turn 2 RER Roll]
Racial Perks
Primarch: The Emperor created 20 sons, who rivaled him in physical, mental and psychic might. Roll 1d20 instead of 1d10 during character creation, add 10 to result. All Skill Caps are set to 150, with Tagged Skills [T] set to 200.
Warp Spawn: As a being spawned from the Warp, you are an anomaly, with the potential to severely screw up everyone's plans. +2 to Power and Control. Due to the power of your psyker nature, psyker abilities are automatically unlocked. Converts Piety to Power and Control.
Powerful Psyker. As a Warp anomaly, you have a stronger connection to it than even most other Primarchs. +5 to Power, and automatic +1 per year until maturity.
Favored By the Warp. +10 to Random Event Rolls (RER) and similarly luck-based rolls. +20 to rolls against Warp-based entities. You were 'born' lucky. Things would go your way when logic dictated they really shouldn't.
Flaws
Sin: Gluttony. This manifests as a strong desire to spend time with those you like, even if it would require that they rearrange their schedules around your needs.
Hero Perks
Administration: Organized. You always have parchment with you, for taking notes. One failed project, barring a critical failure, may be rerolled per turn. Critical failures don't reduce success chances for reattempts.
Power: Brute Force Backing Finesse. Finesse has it's place, but sometimes forcing your way through with sheer power is the best strategy. Apply Power bonus during Psyker rolls regardless of whether it would normally be applied.
Control: Who's In Control? While training in the use of your powers, you were briefly able to influence your tutor's manipulation of Warp energy. Of course, it only worked in close proximity (roughly 5 meters), but it should prove an excellent aid in disrupting rituals. +50 to ritual disruption checks, and minor boost to resistance to Warp energy.
Learning: Fast Learner. Even among Primarchs, you learn quickly. Provides 2 extra Minor Action slots.
Skill Perks
Speech All 50: Rhetoric. Different people react differently to different arrangements of words, tone, and posture. You have, through a mix of study and trial and error, learned how best to utilize this, and avoid it happening to you. Reduce difficulty of Speech Checks by 25. Malus of 25 to difficulty of Speech Checks on you.
Education All 50: Educated. You are well-versed in every conceivable topic, from the most commonly known, to the most obscure. This allows you to call up relevant information when attempting almost any task. +10 to all Checks. Gain additional Minor Action.
Psyker All 50: Well-versed In Warp Matters. You are very skilled with utilizing the Warp to accomplish all kinds of effects and prevent others from doing the same. Foes must pass a Check when using the Warp near you. Should they fail, they will be unable to use the power they were attempting to use while near you.
Psyker: Manipulation: 20: Biomancer. Manipulating your and others biology is a powerful force multiplier... or reducer. +5 to Combat, Tactics, and Medicine Checks. Malus of 5 to enemy Checks in the same.

Ranged: 15. Ah, that's what the safety's for. Malus to ranged combat from lack of understanding of firearms reduced.
Stealth: 15. Oh, to keep from alerting the rest of the army and bringing it down on your head. Okay, but... wouldn't that let you kill off their bodyguards, the best troops in the army? Malus to assassination kills reduced.

Evasion
Lying: 15. You recognize that there are those you simply can't be sure of either way, and information too dangerous to allow the possibility of falling into the wrong hands.

Dodging: 15. You can dodge projectiles and/or strikes, but it's more instinctive than planned. This can be a good thing if you don't have time to consciously react, but it makes planning a fight even more difficult since you can't even guarantee your own position. Malus to Combat Checks reduced.
Trickery: 15. You can manipulate some people into harming themselves or their causes without them realizing, as well as hide small objects on your person, though someone who's really looking will see through your efforts. Similarly, your disguises are downright crude compared to the experts in the Witch Hunters. Malus to attempts at hiding small objects and disguising your intentions or even yourself reduced.

Perception

Environment: 15. You are now as perceptive as the average person when it comes to the world around you, which is especially helpful with your superior senses. Malus to detection rolls reduced. Malus to acting as field commander reduced.
Medicine
Surgery: 15. You can now perform basic surgeries (removing shrapnel or bullets) on your fellow man. Malus to removal of objects that shouldn't be in the body reduced. Less likely to cause damage in the process.
Narcotics: 15. You know most of the common poisons on the planet, and the best ways to deal with them. Chance of misdiagnosing a poison or drug and harming your subject reduced. Increased effectiveness of attempts to cure common poisons.
First-Aid: 15. You know the common practices for halting loss of blood, binding wounds, tourniquets, and the use of rubbing alcohol to prevent infection. Chance of those with injuries dying under your watch reduced.
Forging
Weapons: 15. You know how to make small, crude weapons, though with your powers, you can do it anywhere by providing the rapid heating and cooling necessary. Malus to crafting weapons reduced.
Armor: 15. You can craft simple pieces of armor, though they compare favorably only to Orkish attempts at the same. Malus to crafting armor reduced.
Gear: 15. You can now craft simple, somewhat ugly pieces of equipment not intended for direct combat. Malus to crafting of various bits and bobs, from rings to tools, reduced.

Wiring: 15. You can identify common problems, and aren't stumped if turning the device off and on again doesn't work, and you know their common weak points. Malus to attempts to break or repair broken electronics reduced.
Programming: 15. Turns out it's a little more complicated than that, but you've got the basics down. Malus to building or destroying digital infrastructure reduced.
Explosives
General: 0.
Extravagant: 0.
Preparation: 0.
Education
General [T]: 90. You have eclipsed most experts in their own fields, and all but the most genius of researchers probably don't know as much as you do. Extremely large Bonus to Invention, Explosives, Medicine, Electronics,etc.from deeper understanding of background knowledge.
Culture: 70. You have a knowledge of xenos culture comprehensive enough to make a number of assumptions about cultures you've never encountered before. Malus to diplomacy with cultures you are unfamiliar with reduced.
Esoteric: 80. On the other hand, a million believers will have far more impact than any one person could hope to have on the Warp, save perhaps an individual such as yourself, who has a stronger connection to the Warp Than almost any other living being imaginable, save for the titanic presence of Fernus' Planet-mind. Very Large bonus to Psyker Skill Checks.
Psyker
Manipulation [T]: 80. You are able to fine-tune your body and those around you to a moderate degree. +35 modifier to yourself in combat, and +15 to allies within 50 meters.
Willpower: 60. You have begun turning your mind into the equivalent of a fortress, and can root around in the minds of non-psykers as you please, though minor psykers may notice the intrusion. Large bonus to attempts at mind-reading/domination, and to defending against such attempts. Daemons will find your soul extremely difficult to take by force, and almost as hard to slide past your defenses.
Esoteric: 60. You have learned the best ways to disrupt rituals, and can casually close small rifts to force Warp Horrors out of those they possess. You can reliably predict events 30 seconds into the future, and get the occasional flash of events up to four hours hence. +30 to combat checks. Can disrupt even large-scale rituals alone with reliability.
Invention
Necessity: 15. You can create crude tools from random junk lying around a home. Crude traps may be constructed. Surprise Malus reduced.
Practicality: 15. You can substitute materials you lack with similar materials when building something. Malus to building without proper materials reduced.
Extravagance: 15. You understand that using more resources can be beneficial. You may double a creation's specs for 4 times the cost.
Interesting quest, though i can't help but feel that barring a Deus Ex Machina or ridiculous luck poor Serras is doomed once the Imperium finds her. Emps knows for certain that he didn't create a 21st Primarch, and a female one at that. Given that her randomly coming into being is so ridiculously unlikely as to beggar belief, his immediate suspicion will be enemy action. After all, the Chaos Gods did have the Primarchs in their grasp for an unknown amount of time. It isn't inconceivable for the power of chaos to find a way to replicate them.
Of course he can't tell the rest of the Imperium that without revealing the existence of Chaos, which he is trying to erase all records of. The most expedient decision would be to kill her personally and then claim to everyone that she was just an ungodly powerful alpha level psyker witch that was trying to fool everyone into believing her to be a daughter of the Emperor.
So i am a clear advocate of grinding Evasion so high that Alpharius and Omegon would appreciately say: "damn sis, you're overdoing it" so we can hide in the background when the Crusade comes to incorporate our little slice of space.

While your argument has some logic, it kind of falls flat when one remembers that Omegon was basically a copy of Alpharius produced by the warp, yet Emps took him in as his own.

also how can Emp able to figure out she is not one of 20? she is in segmentum solar, and Emp got no idea that she is an extra, he may even consider warp exposure changed her sex, it is not impossible after all. warp exposure gave Hawkboy his fabulous wings, so why not simple sex change?
A chunk yes.
As far as i am aware the existence of Omegon is kept secret from the other Primarchs and the Emperor by Alpharius and his legion. This is the reason why he is known as Alpharius Omegon.
Like, the Alpha Legion went to ridiculous lengths to conceal Omegons existence, to the point of surgically modifying themselves to look as identical to Alpharius as possible and each and every Marine answering to the name Alpharius.
One would think they might have a reason for that. Especially in this AU, where Omegon isn't an intended twin but confirmed Warpspawn.

We're really close to getting the 100-level skill-perk for Education:
Given that the 50-level perk was an extra minor action we should probably get this ASAP to take advantage of our childhood-learning phase if it's another action-slot (either major or minor).

I'll throw you guys a bone. The All: 100 Education Perk is another Major Action, the 150 Perk is one of each. However, I would recommend you guys boost Power by 4 at some point soon, as Powerful Psyker is only going to boost it to 46, at which point boosting it manually will be really difficult.
Hmm... that's right. We should use the last turns to boost Power to the limit alongside Control.

So Powerful Psyker will, once we reach maturity, give us a +25 to Power?! Wow!!!

Oh, you're right. I fixed it.
No, only 20. Base 14, plus Primarch bonus (10), plus Warp-Spawn bonus (2), plus 20, equals 46. Powerful Psyker gives you a point every year until biological 21, and you started off biologically 6.
Hello just discovered this. I never knew I wanted a primarch AGG until it was right in front of me and now I can believe I never thought of it!
So what exactly have I missed? do we have any big plans I should know about?
From what I can tell we are a psyker scientist as our build right? any skills we plan to train ect.?
