Should named character psykers have pre-set powers? I find it really weird how they have a pre-set Warlord Trait, but why do they roll for powers as usual?
I don't understand how GW thinks that it makes sense that a Psyker can know some powers for one battle, then completely forget them and learn some others next time, yet they always have the same WT.

This belongs in General Discussion

Banana?

If there was a model that knew Invisibility, the game would break even more than it already is. It would be in EVERY army of that faction. And if it's Imperial, then every Imperial faction would take it (likely an HQ) and a troop and that's an allied detachment right there. No. It should not happen that way.

Shark... there IS a Imperial Forgeworld Psyker that literally lets you pick Invisibility as a power.

That scares me....

I'm not that familiar with all (most) of Forge World's lines so what Psyker is that?

I might be missing something but I'm seeing he can take all six from Telekinesis and such, but not Telepathy. Or when it refers to codex powers is one if them equivalent to Invisibility?

whoops that wass the update TO 6th ed

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/C/Charcterupdate.pdf

this is the correct one, with access to telepathy.

Or Belakor, who is the loremaster of telepathy and knows it from the off. Invisible Lords of Skulls are incredibly funny.

Alright, I'm back to scared now.

But, Forge World is full of scary things and while in that section of 40K I'm more okay with it, if Tigurius or Eldrad had the same or similar ability I'm sure people would be calling 'broken' far more often. Thinking of Eldrad casting Invisibility on Bright Lance War Walkers every game without fail, even as an Eldar player, feels like too much.

I have a lot of fun planning A B and C depending on what powers come up and what buffs I can hand out during or before a game.
