They transcend statistics also? IMPOSSIBLE!

Ask the Primaris and Ridcully to experiment in ways to detect growing psyker abilities.
 
The warp is the sort of place where you can add two and two and get fish. Is it really that surprising that beings who draw their power from the warp are equally confusing?
 
True but now we have a chaos god of control and industry now right? In order to have control then you must have logic, therefore the warp should have patterns!

*Snickers*

Okay okay. But still can't they run some tests or something? If she does become a psyker she should learn how to control herself well AND we should know how connected she is to the warp.
 
@during, since the people of the Asgard sub-sector are basically vikings (Avernus excluded), does that mean there's no taboo against chainaxes?

Ok, this got me thinking. Freya's Tainted Bloodline trait comes from many of her family being psykers, relatively speaking. One in ten of those with Tainted Bloodline become psykers at some point in their life. Freya's own father developed psychic powers well after the usual age they're found. What that means is Syr - as one who holds the trait - has a one in ten chance of being or becoming a psyker.

Or at least she would, if she were raised on Vanaheim. But she wasn't. She was born and raised on Avernus. Avernus, where the "one in a billion" Gamma/Delta psykers number 42 (153 if you count those still in training) on a planet with a population of 3.6 billion. That's 11.6 (42.5) times the number of Gammas/Deltas than normal! Syr is 11.6 (42.5) times as likely to develop psyker powers than anyone else in her family (barring perhaps Freya)! I...don't actually know the math to work out her chance of becoming a psyker but it's a lot higher than 10%!

So as I was falling asleep last night I figured out what we were doing wrong.

Basically your numbers are the wrong numbers to be interested in. You've confused the multiplier for the increased chance, and I was too sleepy to figure that out.

The chance of a psyker in the rest of the Imperium seems to be "one in a billion" or 0.000000001, while on Avernus that is somewhere between 0.000000011 and 0.000000042.

That means that increased chance of an individual being a psyker on Avernus is the difference.

Between 0.00000001 and 0.000000041. (For simplicity sake I'm going to round that to between 0.00000001 and 0.00000004). Or one in 100 million to 4 in 100 million. (Which is the same as saying between 10 and 40 times as often).

That means that assuming there are no synergies between tainted bloodlines and Avernite influence, (which is a risky assumption, but this should give us the lower bound of the effect on Syr), and that the psyker bloodline is base (which does make sense), the formula is this:

0.1 + 0.1 (0.00000001) = 0.1 (rounded) = 10% < Syr's chance of being a psyker < 0.1 +0.1 (0.00000004) = 0.1 (rounded) = 10%

Meaning that the increased chance of being a psyker on Avernus has essentially no measurable impact on the likelihood of a single individual becoming a psyker.

Which makes perfect sense.

The reason the multiplier is so large is not because the effect is large but because the effect in the rest of the Imperium is so small.

Vanaheim has one as well. So including the Well of Urd and the two DAoT ships in our graveyard, there's potentially five battleships in the subsector, although only two are operational at the moment.

Yeah problem is one is mostly broken, the other three are completely broken and at least one of the ones we have is damaged probably.
And I doubt we can easily build more.

Well its not like we're running out of things to dig through is it :)

Well after this hell hole of a campaign I think were going to be telling the Military to "REBUILD EVERYTHING" for awhile while our tech priests are going to be told to "MAKE A TITAN"!

Also anyone want to guess what our next enemy is? Me thinks Orcs.
