suppose that i have a epistolary that cast 2 psychic power each turn

the rules say that i cannot cast 2 shooting psychic power.

Might of heroes (+1d3 attack on assault) is not a shooting power so:

can i cast 2 time might of heroes on the same target?
can i cast might of heroes on one target and another MoH on another target?
can i recast MoH if i fail the psychic test?
can i recast MoH if someone dispel my effect?

there are a lot of people say i can't because eldar have an item that say you can repeat the same power twice but i think that is because they also have an iteam that is written you CAN'T repeat the same power twice, so i'm really confused, i think that i ca do all ' wrote but a lot of people told me i'm wrong

why?

then, blood lance, psychic shooting attack, i know i can't shot 2.

but can i recast it if i fail the psychic power and
can i recast it if someone dispel it?

thanks and sorry for my bad english

Yes, the only restriction on using one psychic power per turn is in relation to psychic shooting attacks.

That does mean if a model is able to cast two powers a turn he is able to cast the same power a 2nd time...this question is actually even asked in the official GW Chaos Space Marine FAQ (regarding CSM powers, of course) and they answer in the affirmative: It is fine to use the same power twice in a turn so long as it isn't a psychic shooting attack (and the model can use two powers in a turn, of course!).

So as for your questions:

1) Yes, you can cast MoH twice on the same target unit, although it is debatable whether or not the same model in the unit can gain the +D3 attack bonus more than once a phase (I lean towards no, personally).

2) Yes, you can cast MoH on two separate target units.

3) You have to use MoH at the start of the assault phase, so IMHO that means you'd have to declare you're casting MoH twice before taking a psychic test for either, so no you can't really 'recast' it if you fail one test, you'd have to be declaring you're using it twice first.

4) Same answer as #3, you'd have to declare you're using MoH twice ahead of time.


As for the Eldar point you bring up, you are absolutely correct, Eldar have a specific exception that they cannot use the same power twice in the same turn, so they require a piece of wargear to do so. If anyone gives you crap about it, point them towards the CSM FAQ which addresses this specific question.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

the faq you are talking about reguard ahriman right?

If anyone else is like me, and trying to find this in the Eldar book. It's in the Farseer entry on p.26. The restriction to 1 power per turn is under "Psychic Powers", and the no doubling up powers is actually under Spirit Stones.

when i told they to see the faq of chaos , they told me that arhiman have the black staff that make this possible, it is true?

Attila wrote:when i told they to see the faq of chaos , they told me that arhiman have a special rule to cast the same power. it is true?

The exact rule for the black staff is:

"...in addition it allows Ahriman to make up to three Psychic tests in the same turn (one of these may be to use the special ability of his force weapon). It even allows him to use several powers that count as firing a weapon in the same Shooting phase."

So as you can see, there is absolutely nothing in there about him being able to use the same power more than once (hence the FAQ question). Your friends are incorrect. Ahriman is permitted to use 3 powers in a turn, just the same as an Epistolary is able to use 2 powers in a turn.

Only the Eldar have the specific rule allowing them to use a power more than once in a turn and that is because they have a specific rule denying them from normally doing that. No other codex has that restriction!

again thank you
