So, I am considering switching from doing Basic Alkestry to studying how the Rune of Warding and Gellar Fields interact - ships that are immune to psychic attack or could be made undetectable in the Warp seem like they would be more relevant to the Turoq situation. Anyone have any opinions on that?
I would support this. Bonuses from Alkahestry don't seem very directly applicable to Turoq atm.

Wait for Tamia to do it since she has 37 learning compared to Xavier 18. Also basic Alkahestry does help and the sooner we get started tithe closer we can get too the master levels. Plus in order to give the warding the best chance you have to double down on it which means it would cost 10 relic material. Durin ever tell you what is going on there?

I am for this. It seems much more useful.

Alkestry is not as likely to be immediately impactful against Turoq.
Yes, and ship warding is not likely either. We are essentially created a much better gelled field in the warp not hiding ships in the warp. Both are long term projects.

Tamia has a much better chance and with out a double down has a 67 percent chance.

But it will help our economy.

we probably cant afford to ward many of the Trust's ships with the rune of warding. Not to mention that even if we could afford the wards, the time to implement those mass wardings will peobably mean turoqs raid will be over by then, or at least already done most of its damage.

Ship warding is immensely more relevant than Alkahestry. It allows us better defenses against Turoq's massed psykers at the very minimum, and may greatly improve our ability to move around troops whilst preventing daemons from knowing, severely curtailing Turoq's anti-divination techniques.

Not really mass available since the warding for them involves relic material. It does not prevent demons from knowing what we are doing since it creates a field similiar to a gellar field and block psykers powers. What it does do is allow areas for psykers in training to rest and make black ships available.which I am not tying to put down because they are huge but Alkahestry provides a resource only Avernus can make and trade.

Go for it.

About learning stat for xavier: His skill Genius researcher gives +10 on top.

Tamia has a learning of 37 and the skilled psyker trait for another plus 10.

Xavier has a learning of 18 with the double down of 20 and his trait.

I think it is best to wait and have Tamia do it for the better chance to pass and get a critical.

No, it would prevent daemons from knowing what is inside a ship, provided a complete ward. This is relevant, as daemons cannot now know which people or even if people are being transported.

Oftentimes, something now is often better than something better later.

Pretty sure its mostly the master stuff that requires large amounts of relic material.

So you have confirmation that demons can already look past and inside gellar fields ? Since gellar fields do what this ward does but to a lesser extent.

Patient is key and waiting for Tamia to do it would not only have a greater effect but the chance for a crit. We cannot implement the wards in mass.

@Doomed Wombat it cost 5 relic material just for a d6-1 of escorts. We are not going to put them on ships in mass. Even if they are a tenth of the cost because our current relic material income is 2.

@Durin 1 can demons look past the new ward?
2 can demons look past a gellar fields?
3 will these wards always have a relic material cost?
4 would a crit bring down on that cost?
5 will how the roll determine how effective the roll?
6 the higher it is the more likely it is to be effective?

Still not sure how that happened. I know Durin nerfed RM generation a while back, but not that much.

Still those are prototypes you cannot judge the cost of them based on that alone.

The cost is for Tamia's proto-wards, not for the escorts.

The escorts have negligible costs, Tamia could eat through 10d6 and I doubt we'd notice.
