if a marine librarian uses might of the ancients (making him str 6) can he also force weapon someone in the same turn?
Does he have to be an epistolary (sp) to do this?

Without checking the codex:

Yes

Yes

Which is why people should check the rules before answering.


No

Yes

ummm, Sourclams was absolutely right coredump, The difference is just that you picked out librarian as being the unupgraded unit whereas sourclams was referring to anything taken under the librarian unit entry in the space marines list.

edit: either way your answers carry the same meaning because of the second question there

To satisfy coredump's nerdrage:

Yes, a Librarian can use his force weapon while under the influence of his self-buffed S6 from MotA when making melee attacks. Then, if he is also an epistolary, he can use the instant death ability of his force weapon as a second psychic power.

Aren't a codicier and an epistolary both librarians? What am I missing here?

One can use two psychic powers per turn, the other can't.

It would give away too much of GW's IP to say which.

ones better then the other... or so they say.

Sorry spleen, he wasn't right. A basic librarian can't use the power and "force weapon someone" on the same turn. And the question was obviously about a basic librarian, since the second question referred to an upgraded one.

Clams, I was not enraged, I just commented that if you check the codex, you may not have made the mistake.
