"Busy at work rerelasing new homepage and all the others are either on vacation, home with sick children or at the bloody film festival. And my email account still doesn't work properly." Citation from a angry North-Norwegian with the 'Crybaby' trait. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/01/20/prelude-rewards#c758 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:00:09 +0000 tancred c755@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ In sum: Psykers are not game-breakingly powerful until they reach very high ranks; and since Haxtes is primarily an assassin he won't get there until he's an experienced 30000+XP INQUISITOR. But even at psy rating 1-2 it will give access to options mundane people does not have. AND, most importantly, you'll be a LOT cooler! http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/01/20/prelude-rewards#c755 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:57:42 +0000 tancred c754@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ OK, short version of the Rogue Trader based system: Each use of a Psychic Power is like a normal skill check. Most powers use Focus as a base, but some use Acumen or Presence. You add 5x Psy Rating to your Focus to determined your effective skill. So a Psy 1 Haxtes would be Focus + 5., but a Psy 10 Xerza would be Focus +50. You can also get extra bonuses for picking Discipline Talents, the Power Well Talent, etc. So once you have 2 or 3 points of psy rating plus a few supporting feats you will be able to make your power tests most of the time (a lot of the typical powers are Challenging (+0%) to use, but some of the minor ones are even easier). With psy 1 and no supporting feats you obviously can't expect to succeed all the time (but you should be able to do Unnatural Aim 50% of the time). Psykers also get to decide how much of their power they want to use; the less of your psy rating you use, the safer it is. Desperate (or weak) psykers can call upon extra power with the invocation skill, but this can be very dangerous. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/01/20/prelude-rewards#c754 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:34:38 +0000 agenthaxtes c753@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Lol, I know that, but what can I do :) <br /> ]]> http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/01/20/prelude-rewards#c753 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:27:50 +0000 tancred c752@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ What's the point? Once you've decided I'll merely change the system again ;) Wait a few hours more and you'll see if say Unnatural Aim is worth the 100XP. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/01/20/prelude-rewards#c752 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:07:54 +0000 agenthaxtes c751@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Not fast in answering are we ? (Dont give it too the npc they seem to have plenty ) Xp is good, I`m waiting for the psy update too make up my mind on how to spend my fine xp. need too know the cost of minor powers and if with psy 1 there is the odd chance of making a power work from time too time. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/01/20/prelude-rewards#c751 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:00:37 +0000 tancred c750@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ ...seeing as how the XP reward didn't cause any massive interrest, I'm giving it to the NPCs instead :) http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/01/20/prelude-rewards#c750
