    In a Ciaphas Cain book (The Traitor's Hand) there's a scene where a Slaaneshi sorceress, Madame Sejwek (lol Soyjak), casts an illusion on every loyal PDF soldier in the room to make her appear as their lover. Even Cain was stunned for a moment, but was lucky to have Jurgen coming in to cancel the effect on him. Cain then pointed his gun at the surprised & furious sorceress and said "Impersonating an Inquisitor is a capital offence." and shot her. In the footnote Amberley confesses that it's quite gratifying 😊

      @multigatawny5204 Dude, like you wouldn't believe.
      In "Duty Calls":
      "My attention was quite pleasantly distracted for a moment by the callipygian spectacle ascending past my eye level, and as I placed my foot on the lowest tread I couldn't help tilting my neck back a little to continue appreciating it for a moment longer."
      Basically dude was admiring Kasteen's ass, friends as they are. Which lets him spot out incoming assassin servo skulls and rally troops to defend themselves. We need Hugh Jackman as Cain. Dude has the height and the comedic chop, and maybe Bryce Dallas Howard as Col Kasteen.

      To be fair, every time you try to look up "Sorcerer" on the 40K wikia, it just redirects to Chaos Space Marine Sorcerers. And we know that Bricky does a lot of research by trawling the wikis. It's understandable he wouldn't know, since apparently the fandom at large (and possibly Games Workshop itself) doesn't consider non-Psyker Sorcery of sufficient interest to talk about.
      And that's more a problem with GW's methods of talking about elements of its setting than anything.

      To be fair it's confusing that all we get from people who are "Sorcerers" are always Chaos Sorcerers and there magic is always tied to Tzeentch and the warp which makes them pyschers so magic is basically just psychic powers and nothing about the lore really states there's any difference ​@@Bluecho4

    • @therat1117
      @therat1117 17 дней назад +6

      @@Bluecho4 Yeah, it's basically GW not having a tight grasp on their writing. Since psyker powers come from the warp and Chaos is effectively just The Warp, daemon rituals shake out as 'doing psyker stuff but Chaos'. Chaos is already so nebulous in terms of what it is and what it can or will do that randomly endowing psyker abilities onto people doesn't seem unreasonable. Plus, basically every Chaos psyker is also a Chaos sorcerer because sorcery gives you more psyker powers, which blurs the line into nonexistence.
      This is especially true when the Imperium is the dominant POV, and the default response to anything vaguely Chaos-y is to shoot it in the face immediately and pray to the Emperor later.

    Dark Heresy has so many cool things to it even in the other classes. Tech priests can Get an enhancement giving them emperor Palpatine force lightning, or inbuilt maglev so they can hover or float.
    I also played a psyker and two moments come to mind. One where I hid under a bed attempted to manifest a stealth ability, got a peril that caused a massive shockwave to to throw everything and everyone around the room.
    The other was when we faced a final boss who was a daemon and my character tackled a daemon, manifested Holocaust, and a peril caused wings to sprout from my back in the process. I also maxed the damage which can't be ignored by any means and ended up burning the daemon to true death...
    Dark Heresy's best selling point is that there is so much built into the world it never falls flat despite how much you know.

    You also have to consider with 'appeasing a daemon with rituals' that those rituals tend to include ingredients that you can't exactly purchase from your local street-vendors. And that's before we get into all the rituals which require you to make modern-art projects out of living (and probably resisting) humans. The Black Crusade ttrpg (or one of its expansions) has very extensive descriptions of example rituals of how one would summon or appease a daemon, and they're a lot more hard to set up than just 'draw a pentagram in chalk and hail Khorne 10 times'

    Oh boy! Dark Hersey was more or less my introduction to 40k (after Dawn of War) let me learn you a thing!
    DH (at least 1st edition) was based on a system called *Basic Roleplaying* ("BRP") and your character had stats between 1 and 100. 10s are a major break point (they give you "bonuses"), but generally speaking you succeed at a roll by rolling under whatever your statistic is. (If your Ballistics Skill is 33, you want to roll under a 33 to successfully shoot someone). The "Average" citizen of the Imperium has a score of about 30 across the board. Space Marines naturally have around 50.
    Now, there's modifiers. Having a reflex sight on your rifle might confer a +10 to shooting that rifle, so you effectively are shooting at a 43 instead of a 33. When you see stuff in the text that says "VERY HARD (-30)" that means it applies a -30 to your score. So that, instead of trying to roll under a 33 to shoot someone, suddenly you're trying to roll under a 3. (13 if you have that reflex sight. Praise the Great Horned Rat.)
    DH1 is very brutal and unforgiving.
    (Yes, DH players, there's a lot more variables I'm intentionally skipping over. Shush.)

    There are more types of psykers within the dark heresy game, some based on the career paths you go down.
    There is the scholar emperyian which is your psyker nerd/savant who may not be perfect at all knowledge based things, but knows a lot to make a little bit of meta gaming okay. They are also the ones that end up with the most amount of psy rating which makes them more OP.
    There is the militant psyker who is basically what you expect a psyker from the imperial guard to be like, with military training and better in battle situation.
    There is the imperial diviner whose sole job is trying to predict shit before it hits the fan.
    There is the templar calaxis of the psykana which is a militant order of psykers really good at melee, aka Warhammer 40ks own version of a Jedi. Really good if you have a force weapon.
    There is the sorcerers who make deals with daemons and end up with their own daemonic powers and abilities that no other psyker can have. Unfortunately these psykers don't last long, they end up causing a lot more explosions and problems than other psykers.
    There are the wyrds and nascent psykers, the former are a type of psyker that appears as a mutation as the players of dark heresy end up accumulating corruption, which is like magical radiation, which can in some instances turn you into a psyker that has one specific power that they can try spamming whenever they feel like it. The nascent psykers are similar they are just not sanctified and keep learning new powers that usually cause more harm than good.
    There is also the chance of becoming a daemon which grants you psychic powers, which is a lot of fun but again your not going to be around for a long time. At best you get the angron treatment and are locked up and released only when you are needed.
    You can play a grey knight in dark heresy 1st edition, but that means little to no rpging as anyone you come into contact with either dies or has their memory altered.
    Finally there is the Primaris psyker which is literally the most powerful end goal psyker a psyker player can become, which once the players reach ascension, in some cases you can become an alpha grade psyker if you finished the path of a scholar emperyian.

    Theres a good few of these systems and all of them have psykers but sadly they got replaced with a simpler one that encompasses them all called wrath and glory
    the old ones are similar to one another being d100 systems with some comptability at different levels of power in the world from lowest to strongest you've got
    Only war- guardsman ttrpg, it can include vehicles
    Rogue trader- one player is the trader and the rest are the crew which can include certain xenos like orks and dark eldar
    Dark heresy 1e and 2e- inquisitor and inquisitorial agents
    Deathwatch- space marine suicide missions
    Black crusade-really strong guys you can play as chaos marines and cult leaders
    Also warhammer fantasy has some ttrpgs called warhammer fantasy roleplay where you play as empire characters which can be the lowest of peasants to wizards and witch hunters, we're on 4e currently but theres a lot of good content for 2e like:
    -a similar to dark heresy magic table but with 3 different levels of severity aka 3 different d100 tables
    -a mutation table that has 1000 results all gone into depth with

      another fun detail you can play as ogryn in only war, they have a passive where they wont go in the back of a vehicle unless they're convinced by a commisar called "it dark in dere"
      and on the sorcerer note I think its because once you become a chaos psyker you get easier access to the warp juice

    My favorite happened in the game I was running for my daughters. One daughter rolled perils of the warp and just stopped existing for about 60sec. Popped into the warp and back again, gained corruption and insanity. But the terror on her face when she just blipped out and started reaching for a new character sheet was spectacular.

    I had a hilarious Perils of the Warp moment happen a few months in my Dark Heresy group.
    Our group consisted of a Guardsman, a Techpriest, and *very* cavalier Psyker called Luther.
    Luther has rolled Perils of the Warp previously, but somehow always got lucky enough to kind of weasel his way out of the consequences. For example: gravity inverting while exploring a section of a derelict spaceship that had no gravity, so effectively nothing happened.
    But eventually Luther's luck ran out. We were deep in a derelict vessel overrun with mutated abominations AND opportunistic xenos scavengers and we were pretty banged up after a fight.
    Luther decided to wave off the Techpriest's offered medical attention and heal himself using a minor psykic power.
    Rolled Psychic Phenomena.
    Rolled Perils.
    Rolled 91 - Unbound Daemonhost.
    Rolled WP to resist possession - failed.
    Fate-point reroll - still failed.
    Our GM rolls for the Daemonhost's appearance and gleefully describes how the flesh of Luther's face rots away, his fingers elongate into bony talons and we are struck with a stench of decay that we can feel even through our voidsuits.
    We roll WP against fear and fail miserably. Even if we hadn't been paralyzed by fear - this foe is likely beyond us.
    Our GM informs Luther's player that it is now his turn, and he should act according to his new nature.
    We brace for a TPK as Luther's player announces that he will channel his mighty psykic powers to smite us down, and rolls to channel a psykic attack.
    He rolls hot enough to overchannel and hit two targets with psykic bolts, but rolls another two 9s on the power die.
    The first resolves into a harmless Psychic Phenomenon, but the second is Perils of the Warp again.
    And he manages to roll Psychic Mirror, causing both bolts to target himself, bypassing armor for good measure since the attack originates within his own possessed flesh.
    He rolls hot for damage on both attacks and promptly EXPLODES in a shower of warp-tainted gore.
    The two surviving party members gain a nice fistful of insanity points and take several rounds to recover their senses but we somehow manage to skulk back to our home base for that mission minus one psyker.

    I just finished a Campaign with a Psyker, who also became a Warlock (and therefore became a antagonist). We will return to these characters in Ascension.
    The Number you ad to your Psychic Roll is your Willpower Bonus (WkB), which is with my Wk of 66 the 60. So in this Case, 6 will be added to the Psychic Check. You may use one full action to prepare your Psychic Check. Which doubles your WkB.
    I wanna tell a small Story. We were fighting a Chaos Space Marine who was trying to become a Daemon Prince. I used the Force Barrage and used all my Dice in the Roll (Had Psi Rating of 4 at that point). Rolled 2 Nines. I got the following results: My own Force Barrage (with more damage than anyone would be able to tank) was thrown into my own face. I always hated the Mirror Trap Card... And on top of that I was flung 12 meters into the air. Which threw me of the Building, which was the highest tower of the Hive City. Making it short, I had to permanently burn one of my fate points to "survive" all that.
    At least my Character went on to become a true monster in psychic abilities and is no longer able to be corrupted. When you gain Corruption Points (CP) you always subtract your WkB. With my future plans for this character he will reach a point where he always removes 9 CP, when he gets any. Which make Sorceries pretty much free to use (When you use them you gain +1D10 CP). Too bad that most of them are just Psychic Abilities Light Edition. Except for the very juicy ones, like Gate!
    Psyker and Sorcerer are completely different things. A Psyker has a Gene that gives him his powers. A Sorcerer on the other hand can be a Psyker but doesn't have to be one. They use their understanding of Chaos/the Warp to create Abilities similar to what a Psyker can do.
    In terms of Rules: Sorcerers begin with a Psi Rating of 2. Later on go to Master Sorcerer which increases it to 4. If a Psyker gains those Talents it works a bit differently. You gain +1 on your Psi Rating per Talent, but your Powers are overcharged with Warp Energy therefore you gain a +20 whenever you have to roll on the Psychic Phenomena/Perils of the Warp Tables. Normally a Psyker can only get a Psi Rating of 6, but with this, they come up to 8. Which is really powerful if you have become a Master of your Discipline as you can use Half of your Psi Rating Dice to be able to ignore any 9s you roll.

    So the Dark Heresy RPG books used to be apart of Fantasy Flight’s 40k RPG range.
    This range was quite expansive with several different RPG systems - tho most of them shared quite a bit so you could actually link them quite easy if playing across multiple.
    Dark Heresy - you play as inquisitorial acolytes across an expanse of missions trying to seek out cults, find hidden relics of both human and alien design, search out treachery and save the imperium and improving your every growing name and ranks within the inquisition and your own inquisitors party.
    - there is a 2nd edition of Dark Heresy too.
    Rogue Trader (what the Rogue Trader game is based off) - is as it says. Your group play a Rouge Trader and their little group of companions as you just make your way across the imperium doing as you will, while not getting yourself completely murdered.
    Deathwatch - again as you can guess. You play as a Space Marine within the deathwatch. You can choose your class and your chapter each with their own unique additions to your character (note while the starting book gives you 6 chapters the expansion books expand these out massively alongside giving you rules to make your own).
    Dark Crusade - you play as Chaos this time. You can be a simple cultist or even a chaos marine. Pledge yourself to a god (or none or all) and raise yourself up the ranks and position of your warband and take to the galaxy to loot and burn and slaughter with glee.
    Only War - you play as the sons and daughters of the imperium serving within the Imperial Guard. You and your players (or GM) can create your own regiment from ground up, then characters and take part in very longtime but also deadly campaigns. You feel like your in the guard playing this one and there is so many options for regiment creation it can even inspire your own guard and tabletop unit.
    Sadly why you’ll struggle to find these outside of people who have PDF links to downloads you can get them from is due to Fantasy Flight no longer producing them.
    Even tho extremely popular, GW made a bit of a stupid when it went to FFG and told them that they could either continue making their RPG books using their IP… as long as they completely dropped making any of the Star Wars IP games they were doing (I.e. X-Wing, Imperial Assault, Armada, the Star Wars RPG series and Legion).
    You can guess which FFG stuck with. And it was also due to this that GW lost the FFG 40k RPG range and was forced to make their very poor replacement which I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen anyone talk about or play.

    Since you guys are doing Psykers, and RPG stuff, I feel it important to plug my 40k ttRPG. I'm making a GorkaMorka RPG. The Public Playtest Edition will be available 1/1/2025. Play an Ork, Grot, Snot or even a Squig. Do Orky things. Die often and be rewarded for doing so in Orky ways. The first 40k Ork RPG ever. It's not about Epic Adventure. It's about screwing around, and just having a good time wrecking face.
    Several random tables, including specialized Hazardous tables, as MANY things in the game are Hazardous.
    Weirdboyz have their own Hazardous Table.
    Many things that only existed in previous editions are available in GorkaMorka (MadBoyz, SkarBoyz, Hop-Splat Fieldgunz, and more). The game is Player Driven, meaning the narrative is crafted by the Players and their Actions. The referee (GameBoss) is just there to interpret the acts and progress the scenes. The Story is up to those playing.
    The Public Playtest will be for you, the players, to aid in making the Final Release Version as great as it can be, by submitting feedback.
    The Final Release Version will be 100% Free, as this is an Unofficial Fan Made product.

    ACHTUALLY Rogue Trader is its own game, TECHNICALLY. Fantasy Flight put out 4 games that I can recall: Dark Heresy (Inquisition), Rogue Trader (Rogue Traders, duh), Only War (Imperial Guard), and Deathwatch (Space Marines). Owlcat's game system is (very) loosely based on the TTRPG. They are similar to D&D/Pathfinder in only the loosest sense. Like, you're not rolling d20s to resolve anything. You can run them together, but for example Deathwatch isn't really... balanced to run along side Only War. Y'know, Astartes vs Guard. smh my head roll Perils of the Warp

    • @CattraKell
      @CattraKell 17 дней назад

      I mean if we want to get TECHNICALLY - FFG only put out 3 - Dark Heresy was Black Industries originally and then republished by FFG even before 2e. There are copies out there which is the 1e core rulebook without the FFG branding.
      FFG did make a ton of expansions though which occupy too much of my shelf space but looking at the prices on ebay for stuff like The Lathe Worlds and Blood of Martyrs makes me weep. But thats nothing on some of the Rogue trader expansion books such as Faith & Coin or Stars of Inequity. Stars of Inequity honestly is so vital as well with the amount of content you can just straight up generate from its like 100 pages of D100 tables.

    A single DH game in college was my first real dip into 40K outside of /tg/ shitposting. Knowing what I know now, my 80 year old neophyte psyker was not very believable in setting (I rolled randomly; blame the tables). It was funny when the DM decided to end the one shot and sent a Bloodthirster after us. It crit our Guard, turning him into a pile of viscera instantly. Me and the other psyker then used the trip power, alongside the power that gives a penalty to tests and the Deja Vu power, to make it keep slipping in the blood pile while the soldier and tech priest lobbed grenades at it until it died.
    Dee's Guts were made into a sanctified relic after the fact. That was a fun game.

    It would be a really chaotically awesome mess if other party members had a D-100 table like this. - Like a Master Scout Sergeant whose battle hardened PTSD brain could snap and become a sleeper cell stealth assassin against everyone. Or a Mad Terminator marine that gets possessed by Khorne or afflicted with their own form of high octane grimdark cyber-psychosis. Lots of infinite possibilities for other party members too. Great system and tables to think about. Another cool character could be a Rogue trader with super charisma that could charm and mind control a massive group in an instant, or on a wildly fail roll turn an entire sector of space mercenaries against themselves and the party.

    In my Only War game (the TTRPG to play guardsman) we had a Psyker. During a mission to clear out a traitor stronghold, our Psyker tried to use a power and failed so hard that he summoned a Bloodletter. Panicking, on his turn he tried to use another power to try and kill the Bloodletter, only to fail once again and summon ANOTHER Bloodletter. As the group is running the hell away, he tried one last time to do anything against the demons and ended up exploding, killing his character, the demons, and traumatizing our entire group. To this day, my character (an Ogryn by the name of Chunk) refuses to be in the same room with another Psyker.

    My favourite memory of my Dark Heresy playthrough was my group getting ambushed by an Eversor assassin on an abandoned hulk. We were getting ran through the beginning turn so we decided to run and the Eversor rolled a d6 and locked on to me.
    I proceeded to max out any and all psychic powers/rolls I had to take him with me using perils and rolled crit fail, followed by a 99 on my perils table. Turned into a fire Daemon, oneshot the eversor and chased my party out of the hulk with each of them being 1 tile away each turn from being oneshot by me.
    The last guy, our Arbites was 1 tile away from getting off the map but it was my turn and I was one tile in range for a fire storm. I asked him how much he liked his character, he said a lot, so i made him flip a coin for it.
    I ended up branding my characters name on his ass cheek and let him go, but we came back later at a higher level for violent closure.
