Terrify says the target must take a morale test at the end of the psychic phase.
During the enemy's psychic phase, your malediction is still in effect. Does the target have to take a morale test at the end of his psychic phase?

Appended: The wording in 6th was that the unit must IMMEDIATELY take a morale check, limiting it to one test immediately when the power was cast.. The new edition is changed to "at the end of the psychic phase". There are two psychic phases in a game turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878463.page GMT Re:Does Terrify cause two morale tests? RAW...yeah. It doesn't specify at all. A psychic phase ends, unit is under malediction terrify, so it has to make a morale test. at -1 even... Cute. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878541.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878541.page GMT Does Terrify cause two morale tests?
(also, just reread the power... how much BS is it that Terrify no longer takes away a unit's Fearless special rule)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878577.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878577.page GMT Does Terrify cause two morale tests?
Not saying that it lasts the entire duration is not the same as saying as it does not last the entire duration.

6th edition wording similarly separated the morale check from the "until the start of your next turn" sentence, however they felt the need to include the specification that the test happens immediately, and therefore only once. This specification is no longer included in 7th edition.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878583.page GMT Does Terrify cause two morale tests?

Maledictions last until your next psychic phase unless otherwise stated. Terrify does not state that the morale test is a one time thing.

Read the other maledictions and blessings... some describe single effects that only happen once, some describe ongoing effects. Any sentence that describes an ongoing effect begins with the words "Whilst/While this power is an effect, ..." Thus any sentence that doesn't start with those words only has a one time impact. The Terrify power includes a sentence of each format... there for one ongoing effect, one single time effect.

Also it uses the words at the and of the psychic phase, as opposed to at the end of any psychic phase...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878613.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878613.page GMT Does Terrify cause two morale tests? Especially since the second morale test would happen immediately following your own movement, causing lots of pointless, wasted movement time.
Nonetheless, RAW...
If I were a TO though, I think I'd make them roll it. (IE;most important rule). That way, it wouldn't be done with any consistency, which discourages TFG from abusing stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878626.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878626.page GMT Does Terrify cause two morale tests?
Hallucination - "Roll once the power has been successfully manifested"
Levitation - "The psyker and his unit immediately make a move"
Objuration Mechanicum - "in addition the unit suffers a single hit"

All of the powers that have actions list Exactly when to use them. "Immediately", "a single hit". Terrify has an action and specifies to use it at the end of the psychic phase, which there are two of. It has permission from Maledictions to last until your next psychic phase. It has NO restriction stated that it does not last until your next psychic phase.

I'm not following that logic... Your psychic phase comes AFTER your movement phase. the morale test comes at the end of the psychic phase. so it would happen just before your shooting phase, and just before your opponent's shooting phase. Why would the second test happen immediately following your own movement phase?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878631.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/597517/6878631.page GMT
