How do you think a psyker capable of snapping Warlord level Titans in half with his hind, or mind possessing a whole level of a hive city would be effected? I think the strain would either cause severe bodily shock and shutdown, or intense (more so than usual) Mania. But the possibility does remain maybe the shadow in the warp won't stop the psyker immediately but grind him down and suffocate his powers over him?

Thoughts Dakka?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10657130.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10657130.page GMT Re:Alpha Psyker trapped in the Shadow of the Warp - What happens?
Disclaimer: It should be clear from page 24 of section X of the reformed Psychic Combat rules (Tactical Training Exorcises, v. 205.4), that in order for the unstoppable force to overcome the immovable object, the character must roll a 10 or better on their "Emperor's Inspiration" check (or equivalent for faction). This, naturally, also covers situations where the immovable object is resistance to using abilities.

Any author who claims otherwise is a heretic playing by outdated rules.

So more power seems to make it easier to handle.

Where are you getting this from? Do you have a quote?

The seers in "Valedor" didn't seem to struggle comapred to your "run of the mill" librarian in other stories.

Also, take a look at this line from the 5th edition tyranids codex under "shaow in the warp":

"Should the psyker attempt to use his otherworldly abilities, the cerebral cacophony worsens even further, pitching all but the strongest into insanity.."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10658501.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10658501.page GMT Alpha Psyker trapped in the Shadow of the Warp - What happens? IIRC the 8th ed Nid codex mentions that the Hive Mind can do that with lesser effect on general Eldar warriors.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10658542.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10658542.page GMT Alpha Psyker trapped in the Shadow of the Warp - What happens?

I dont recall that, but I will have a look.

and IIRC the 8th ed Nid codex mentions that the Hive Mind can do that with lesser effect on general Eldar warriors.


You may be thinking of the continent spanning tyranid structure in the tiamet System (eldar rangers going into convulsions when it fired)? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10658559.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10658559.page GMT Alpha Psyker trapped in the Shadow of the Warp - What happens? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10658989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10658989.page GMT Alpha Psyker trapped in the Shadow of the Warp - What happens?
There seems to be a trend though of sufficiently powerful psykers breaking through regardless via mental fortitude so its likely a alpha level psyker can, although also likely his physical form (baseline human) may not survive for long doing so.

Interesting food for thought, although I do imagine the hive mind would notice and want that psyker biomass ASAP for a mega Zoanthrope!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10659067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783301/10659067.page GMT
