I keep re reading the rule book and it never states you can't use multiple psychic powers in a phase cause it assumes all psykers can only use one a turn... Can mephiston at the beggining of an assault phase use two of his assault oriented powers? Or can he use multiple powers a turn but one per phase. The only flat out restriction I have seen so far is when it comes to psychic shooting attacks.

In the BA codex it says that mephiston can use three powers each turn and codex overrides the rulebook so there's nothing stopping him from using all his powers and I don't think which phase you're in would really affect it. Although I'm by no means an expert either.

The BRB doesnt care about phases, only limits per turn.

If you can cast multiple powers a turn, and those multiple powers affect a single phase, you are allowed to cast them barring restrictions on Shooting.

So yes, Mephiston can use two assault phase powers out of the 3 he is allowed to use each player turn.

He can even use all 3 in the Assault phase if he wants.

Don't forget he has his Force Weapon power also.

Awesome. I wanted to make sure I was going to play him right. NOW I see why he's a must have. Before I thought he was just meh since I thought you could only use one power per phase.

same thing with Ahriman his staff lets him use multiple shooting spells in the same shooting phase, or pop 3 gifts of chaos' at the beginning of the turn if he wanted

Really? No one else is going to say it?

Alright, I will.

The codex does not always override the rulebook. Specific rules override general ones. If the rule in the BRB is more specific than a general rule in the codex, the BRB will, in this case, override the codex.
