Speaking of new ideas

@Durin
1 Can we have Ridcully and or Lin look at Lieutenant-General Mineyev and see if he is getting any sort of warp connection? 'Last survivor' is a fairly common trope and could conceivably be an archetype.
2 Does Ridcully think he would have any better luck seeing what is up with the Phase Tigers than last time he tried? He has reached whole new levels of BS divination and learned new aspects of reality over the last few decades.
 
Great, so what do people think about having a psyker order based around implementing the various new psi skills we keep picking up?

Their job would be to ensure that all our psykers learn the new skills as we discover them as well as coming up with ways that the skills can be utilised.

The wouldn't be a research group, we'd still need to do actions like studying wildlife or trading with Xeno's to discover new skills and verify the skills purity but they would cut down on the actual implementation of the skills.
The point would be to speed up how long it takes us to make use of our new knowledge and decreasing the admin time that heroes have to spend on things, letting them spend more time researching instead


For example with the learn basic alkahestry option we would have a hero action where the hero works alongside the order to learn the skills and then it would be up to the order to teach the rest of our psykers as well as come up with plans on how we can use the new knowledge while the hero is free to move onto something new.
 
Sepet gaining more intrigue is kind of crazy. He's got to be closing in on Transcendent.
One day, after a long and bloody campaign, Sepet will gain his final intrigue trait.
We won't know that, however- his Transcendance would obscure any and all information anyone can gain about him.
He'll be like a black hole, an anti-meme.
Durin, when asked about Dalve's whereabouts, will only say "You don't know".
And this state of affairs will continue, until we hear of a very odd event:
Turoq died, cause of death unknown.
And at that moment, we still won't know if it was him.
Durin, when further inquired on "If it was Dalve" will only say "maybe."
We'll get Ridcully to divine it, but even then- it'll be like looking at a shadow. More of an outline of unknowns than a single answer.
It'll feel like a friendly shadow, however. Watching out for us. A walking Shadow in the Warp, extinguishing unholy flames.
 
Slightly confusing, does he no longer get bonuses against Angyls?
Angyl are just another name for daemons sof Abomination.
1 Can we have Ridcully and or Lin look at Lieutenant-General Mineyev and see if he is getting any sort of warp connection? 'Last survivor' is a fairly common trope and could conceivably be an archetype.
Nah, claiming an archetype is extremely rare, especially for a such a common concept as "the last survivor". Remember that only 1 person in the entire galaxy can do it at the time, and he has to have much better claim than any other. Ridcully managed to do it largely because "Blind Seer" is a very specific and narrow archetype (and he managed to do witness really, really important stuff).

We might want to check him over for something, since surviving the sort of battles he does over and over, is very improbable.
 
@Durin

Are you willing to put up a table of Combat and Martial Bonuses, maybe in the charsheets or Munitorum? Since you already sporadically update it on charsheets, we could just see the whole table and figure out ourselves.
 
Who says his faith is in the Emperor? He might have faith in the planet mind... it has the advantage of not being dead.
Piety is just shorthand for Willpower in most cases.

I asked Durin if they could be seperated, some thousand pages ago, but he doesn't really see a point in it.

So any character with high piety is just really strong of will, wether that is focussed through faith in something specific doesn't matter.
Same for Chaos, Xenos or loyal subjects of the man in gold.
 
+ You can have peeps who are very religious who have will power like a wet noodle.

They tend to be swivel eyed fanatics, but whose counting right :)
I think true fanatics tend to get a bonus on piety anyway.
Even if they don't have much "natural" willpower fanatics are really good at resisting ideas opposing their worldview, wether mundane or from chaos-memetics.
That's propably one of the main reasons why faith in the Emperor helps people resist Chaos.

He on Terra can't intervene usually, no matter how split up.
