Be in the presence of chaos rituals, read ultra-heretical books (unfortunately a necessity of Inquisition job), be unlucky to be near a psychic phenomena, etc

This week in BLACK CRUSADE! the heretics decided to fix up their new base floating in space. This involved turning the life support on, patching the holes all over, and getting the main generators up and running. With their base in order the group prepared to use their frigate with Inquisition symbols to basically take all of psykers of Imperial planets in the Calixis sector to make an army of psykers. While members of the group have expressed their concern with turning the void station into a psyker haven and then arming them, they have been ignored.

That's too much work for too much risk. the obvious thing to do is to put the psykers on stasis and use them to power xenotech weapons.

Find a vial of the Obliterator Virus, process it into an aerosol form, and distribute it through the ventilation system whenever you've got most of the psykers in one place. Turn them all into one big grey goo amalgam of psychically active techno-organism, then drop that horrible thing onto the central hive of of a segmentum capital.

As long as you don't let anyone out, it'll eventually sort itself out. No guarantees that the facility will be habitable afterwards, though.

As a side note, the void station that they're looking to put all these psykers on to train is some sort of xenos void station that gives corruption points to anyone on board every time they fire the guns. They of course tested this repeatedly.

The best selling tome "Ten thousand and one hundred novel uses for unbound psykers" has a sequel! "How to squeeze a brain dry" will teach you the how to get more bang from the captive, drooling vegetables before you toss them into the food vats. Order now and receive a free xenotech writing quill!

The station is armed and full of psykers so it will probably move of its own volition soon anyway. It's probably best to be at least a light year away when that starts happening, so you have time to see the shockwave coming.

In such instances a good rule of thumb is to ask WWAD or What Would Ahriman Do? He would definitely NOT stockpile unsanctioned psykers inside a corrupted void station with heavy weaponry. But, heck, what did Ahriman know? I'm sure everything will turn out fine.

Yeah, I don't do the whole corruption thing, but I take insane risks in combat to do cool stuff because if I play it safe I'm likely to eventually get killed by a lucky shot from some schmuck cultist so I might as well risk dying while climbing down the side of a titan or holding a corridor against genestealers.

The Lone Badger posted:Or feed them to the guns to power them up. All of these options have been bandied about by the group. In fact, the group's resident psykers have already determined that by focusing the warp through said guns actually *does* power them up. With any luck, accumulating the sheer number of psykers that we're intending to gather will open up a giant Warp Storm right at the borders of the Koronus Expanse and the Calixis Sector, giving Chaos yet another front/another way to contest this space.

NGDBSS posted:The plan is that each role will give a certain amount of characteristic and non-characteristic aptitudes, and that each advanced role will give things out in the same quantity. My idea on collisions is that role aptitudes are at lower priority, and are thus "replaced" first, so as not to make a headache on bookkeeping for "permanent" aptitudes on the race and background.

tech-priests get eight apts and are absurd because the game designers and game players can't stop jacking off to the thought of them All of the characters who get seven aptitudes have a strong social focus; that's probably why they get a bonus apt compared to, say, the Weapon Specialists' six. So for Dark Heresy, which is nominally investigative, I'd go with seven aptitudes too.

NGDBSS posted:Reposting this for comment. (Also I'll probably just merge Leadership with Psyker, as both aptitudes are a bit neglected - Leadership more so, actually.) Aptitudes are a poo poo system and your efforts would be better spent cooking up a table of cost multipliers for each role. That way you can balance all of them against each other and not have to deal with the lovely problems Aptitudes cause or the headache of changing them post-character creation. Oh wait, they already did that in the DH2 beta and threw that baby out with the bathwater. No, I'm not bitter.

It is really silly how every single lore has the same aptitudes - makes Intelligence&Knowledge aptitudes ridiculous, especially since a lot of other skills also use the Intelligence-aptitude.

Speaking of lores did any of you guys ever found use for non-Forbidden ones? Like loving common lore (War, Adeptus Astra Telepathica, Administratum) Scholastic lore (Astromancy, Beasts, Heraldry, Judgement, Numerology, Philosophy)???? I mean I can see use for them in a DARK HERESY campaign but what about the other games?

^^^^Usually I find that the people who care about lore skills just end up taking Infused Knowledge, seeing as how that gets you access to all Commons/Scholastics for one lump sum.
