So I'm a bit confused. My friends told me that the Rune Priest has to roll to hit (after passing his psychic test) for Jaws of the Wolf World using his ballistic skill.
Old Zogwort has zero ballistic skill - does he have to roll to hit for his squig power, or the few other shooty Ork pyshic powers?

Most ork powers automatically hit, so it isnt a problem.
You dont roll to hit with JotWW, as it doesnt have a weapon profile. If it has a weapon profile, like living lightning, he does indeed roll to hit.

I can't comment on the rune priest as I dont have the puppy codex but Zoggy doesn't roll to hit as both psychic shooting powers state clearly in the codex that they hit automatically.
As for the squigify attack, thats a contested roll with the rival independant character. If zoggy wins then you have a very unhappy opponant
I've always rolled to hit the very few times I've used the Eldar's Eldrich storm.
at a guess, if it doesn't clearly state in the rules that it hits automatically then roll to hit as with any other shooting attack.
Oh yeah - my first post on the forum, been lurking far to long

JotWW doesn't roll to hit.
Living Lighting and the other Weapon profiled powers do.

I have never read the rule itself. It is my understanding that you literally draw a line and everything that line passes through is hit, much like if you were using a flamer template and getting hits on all models whose bases are partially covered.

So in other words, it's broken.

Nah it isn't THAT bad, most IC's have a high enough Initiative, mooks aren't that important and you can always hide in transports. The ones that get the most flak from it are the tyranids, no transports and low I monsters. :( Anyway, if you want broken, try to transfer the Purple Sun from WHFB to 40k.

If a Psychic Shooting attack auto hits it will state that it auto-hits; or it will define parameters.
Zzap, and Frazzle both tell you they are Shooting attacks and that, so long as the enemy unit is in range, they automatically hit.
Zoggy's curse tells you to choose an enemy independent character, in line of sight and within a certain range; then dice off, and apply the appropriate result of the dice off.
Jaws tells you simply to draw a line of a specific length; then determine which models are effected and must test to stay in play.

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.
Stop looking for buzz words and start reading the whole sentences.
