Oh, absolutely. Especially if there has been reports of unusual (Read, lesser Perils) happenings going on at the front. And yea, most Imperial psykers are kind of prone to exploding/having critical existence failures. This is starting to remind me of /tg/'s 1st Membranes. An entire regiment of paranoid, schizo psykers. It is hilarious as it is absolute bloody mayhem.

It works better for Chaos forces, since they are more likely to throw warp spawned abominations into the fray then they are to simply spaz out and start blamming anything with the slightest taint of the warp floating around. And if one thing Dark Heresy has taught me, its that if a daemon shows up, you're probably going to be losing PC's. Lucky if you don't lose the whole party, since a lot of them take the term "schmuck bait" to a whole new level. Kind of fair, since Inquisitors seem to always be bastards to their acolytes.

Yeah, Imperium is serious business with their Psykers. Doesn't mean they are stable, by any means (Well, Librarians typically are, but they cheat), and I think a Commissar cadet would blue screen at the sheer psyker rawness going on.

Precisely! Just smite/throw the environment at things/mindbullet your way to victory/death. And hey, becoming an inside-out horror monster could be an advantage if you do so in the midst of the enemy ranks. Since all the now inside-out horror monster cares about is murdering everything within arm's reach, and the sudden daemonic abomination miiiight be a bit more pressing than the guardsmen rapidly running away. Pushing powers, while cool in concept, really doesn't seem overly justifiable. But hell, more power is always good.

I was expecting the NPC Blam-issar with one Pysker, let alone two? Witchhunters be coming sniffing about before this campaign is over, I'm betting. Hell, I expect my Psyker's Comrade to end up pseudo blamming him at some point, just to possibly roll a less damaging/more hilarious Perils.

The fun way, you mean the only way, right? Besides, unfettered isn't too terrible, it only rolls perils on doubles. Pushed, however, is another story completely. Besides, running around blasting everything with psyker force is clearly the proper response. Besides, you don't have to reload a psyker. Replace them? Sure, but they don't reload.

@SomeChap

Add in a Commissar just to see who blams the psykers first. The Janissary, the Commissar, or the Krieg Medic who is more concerned with salvaging anything useful than actually saving their lives.

This is obvious, I mean, every time I look at those critical hit charts, it is just begging for things to go horribly wrong/right. Granted, so is the Perils charts. I am sorely tempted to push all the powers for the sole fact of getting to roll on those. And get blammed by the saner party members after the first time. That miiiight be why Alpha Legionnaire psyker died, pushing warp powers for no good discernible reason.

@SomeChap
Well, when the environment you're fighting in tends to be more dangerous than the enemies your fighting, blamming any advantage you can get your hands on, probably ain't a good idea. Just wait until we get a Mordian medic and Catachan weapon specialist. Just to make things absolutely batshit.

But I'm kinda looking forward to seeing the psykers explode/implode/stop existing/spawn daemons/BLAMing. I am perfectly fine rerolling up new characters and filling missing spots as needed, so let RNGesus do his worst.

@SomeChap

Well, we got our Sergeant. A Janissary. Oh lord, we got two psykers, and our Sergeant is a Janissary. This is going to be glorious.

In between the games of "Dodge the Blam" and "Duck, Duck, Daemonic Possession", I can only imagine the squad self destructing from conflicting ideologies and abilities. I'm betting the first time a power gets pushed, who wants to take that bet?

I blame the psykers. Always blame the psykers.

@SomeChap

So what's better than one potential walking disaster? TWO walking disasters, obviously. I feel sorry for whomever is stuck in charge of this squad already. Since I already am halfway to the first Malignancy test, since an unfortunate 1d5 roll for starting corruption.

I already used the 300xp that support specialists start with to give my comrade Ultimate Sanction. I have a feeling it'll be needed. Looking forward to seeing this squad get to work.

@SomeChap Speaking of sucking things into the warp, the last psyker I touched was out of Black Crusade. Aaaaand he took a 30m sphere of the spaceship he was on into the warp with him. Needless to say, he didn't survive.

To be fair, it was an Alpha Legionnaire that randomed Warpsmith mutation, and had the worst perils rolls I have ever seen.

I promise a dedicated psyker will go better. Probably. Maybe. If the Empra wills it.

Well, this seems rather fascinating, sure as sure. If you got the room to spare, I'm certainly interested in drawing up a fellow for this.
