After skimming my codex again, thought of this problem:

If I choose Abhor the Witch! as my battle vow, I get a 5+ inv save against psychic abilities. Saves apply against wounds, so how would this work for abilities like Tyrannid's Peroxism? Or null zone? These things don't inflict damage, but they would affect me. The only two solutions I could come up with are:

1) Roll one dice for the unit as that unit's "Save"

2) As these powers don't inflict wounds, no save applies

Any other thoughts?

I'm thinking #2, it sounds like it falls into a grey area.

That's not what the rule says.

It states, "...psychic powers targeted against any Black Templars unit or character (or which includes them in its area of effect) are nullified and will not work on a D6 roll of 5+ (only roll once for each power...)."

This is not a save. The power simply is nullified, and therefore the rule is applicable to any power that fulfills the requirements (essentially, if it affects a BT model).

So it works in a sense like a psychic hood?

**Gwar!**

Xca|iber has it spot on.

It is VERY important to read rules correctly.

Also note that the power is NULLIFIED COMPLETELY.

Yup. Actually, it works more like a Crappy Runic Staff.

That's my bad - not at home and didn't have codex to hand.

It operates exactly like 'Shield of Faith' does for SoB.
