<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Custom Psykic Abillities"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Custom Psykic Abillities My friend and I have started making custom Characters, i am a SM player myself, and i know different chapters have different psykic abillities, for example the Dark Angels have that guy with the mind worm spell, SOOOOOO much cooler then just the standard spells of the regular codex, anyway my custom character is well custom so i think he should have some custom spells, seeing he is the leader of my very own... ... custom chapter.... i need a thesaurus. Anyway my character came from the Praetors of Orpheus, very techno. based but he is a powerful psyker, Yeah, Yeah, heresy and all that but radicalism is FTW.

I was thinking of Machine Possesion, like instead of taking his model move shoot and assualting, he may move shoot and assualt as one of the enemies vehicles, effectively Possesing it on a passed psykic test.

I am looking for some ideas for a custom techno based marine list of abillities, but i would love to hear all the wierd wacky and wonderful ideas anyone has had for their own WeirdBoy, Farseer or any other Psyker they've come up with. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/952665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/952665.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities ld test, it stops it from being overpowered kinda.

Also, a wierdboy power i thought of when i saw the pic of psycic vomit in the codex, Bleeegh! use the flame template and place the small end anywhere within 6" of the wierdboy to represent the projectile vomitting of pure WAAAGH!! energy. Any model under the template is hit with a S6 AP3 hit.
And another wierboy power 'Eadbangers Ball, if you roll double 1s for the psychic test, and get a result of 1 on the power chart, place the small blast over the wierdboy, and place a small blast over each model hit, any model under any of these templates is hit with with a S6 AP3 hit, if a model is under more than one template, it only counts as being hit once. I see it like getting eadbanger is a fail, and getting perils and eadbanger should be an epic fail. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/953560.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/953560.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities That's pretty sick, lol pun intended, my mate plays Orks and thats a really cool idea, he'd love it. i'll pass that on to him. As for possessing on a 4+ thats makes it sound a little less over powered and stunning on less means it will always do SOMETHING and not just be a waste of a spell. Thanks for that great advice ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/954053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/954053.page GMT Custom Psykic Abillities Fire of Fate: In his searching, Amun’khet stumbled upon a scroll containing a spell designed to augment servants of Tzeentch and hinder their enemies. Upon recitation, the psyker and his minions become covered in magical flames. The flames allow them to stride quickly through anything in the way, burn their enemies with fire, and blind enemies with bright pink and blue flames. Fire of Fate is a psychic power used before the psyker, and any unit he is joined to (including other independent characters), move. Fire of Fate has three effects. Firstly, the psyker, and any unit he is joined to (including other independent characters), ignore impairments on his movement such as difficult/dangerous terrain. Secondly, the psyker, and any unit he is joined to (including other independent characters),counts as having two close combat weapons if he does not already. Thirdly, the psyker, and any unit he is attached to (including other independent characters), counts as having both Assault and Defensive grenades until the psyker’s next movement phase.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/954078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/954078.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities that's a sweet spell and a awesome back story. I love it! i'll remember that one, with a different back story and a different name that spell could work for many people. SM's would find it just as useful as CSM's and I could see Eldar Banshee's charge through dangerous terrain. nice work ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/954155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/954155.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities ...

Weapon Lock
This spell is cast at the beginning of the librarian's movement phase. Upon passing a Psychic test any enemy unit firing upon the Librarian or any unit he is attached to on the next enemy turn must roll one d6. On a roll of 3+ their weapon jams and that unit can not fire any ranged weapon on the turn after.

Perhaps a wee bit over powered but i'd rather make it overpowered and get feed back then make it under powered and have people just agree. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/955955.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/955955.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities d6 for each model firing and on a 3+/4+ (not really sure) that model's weapon jams and does not fire. Its kind of just a cover save but against rapid firing sternguard it would help. You'd have to figure out if it worked against vehicles or not, if it did i'd use the 4+ if not i'd use the 3+.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/958564.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/958564.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities Sv against HW and 3+ against everything else?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/958724.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/958724.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities OTT and a tad complex. try to limit the effects of abilities to one thing and model them after other psychic abilities.

A good place to look for simple psychic abilities is the current nid codex, they are all very basic abilities but they all have something too them and decent back story even though only four of the 6 are really viable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/958802.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/958802.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities

Actually i just came up with one.

Accelerate Machinery
One Friendly Vehicle within 24"of the psyker can move an extra 6" one a successful Ld test]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/958831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/958831.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities
or Catalyst target a friendly squad during the shooting phase before any assault takes place all models in the squad may take thier attacks even if they were killed before initiative order (IE you get to make your attacks back if you were killed in close combat)

Warp feild gives the psyker 2+ armor and 6+ invulnerable (no test)

all basic and all have some kind of effect]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/960007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255218/960007.page GMT Re:Custom Psykic Abillities Ld test. They are cool spells and it's good advice, making spells simple make them better in the end.
