This mod add two (for now) new Psyker Discipline to the list of Sanctioned Psyker potential disciplines.


Electromancer

"Whether channeling the deadly storms that shake the Warp or generating bio-lightning from their nervous system, Electromancers are forces to be feared on any battlefield.

The Electromancy discipline revolves around Shock damage, the Blinded status, and a custom debuff called Static Charge.

  • Psybolt -  The psyker summons a lightning from the Empyrean, dealing 5 + (PsyRating × WillpowerBonus) Shock damage. If the target have stacks of Static Charge this spell hit that many times instead, then all the stacks of Static Charge are removed.
  • Warp Storm -  Everyone within the area takes X to Y Shock damage and is forced to make an Agility resistance test. All targets that fail the test are blinded until the psyker's next turn.
  • Blinding Light- Each enemy in line of sight gains a rank of Static Charge and is forced to make a Fortitude resistance test. All targets that fail the test are blinded until the psyker's next turn and gains PsyRating/2 stacks of Static Charge.
  • Electrokinetic Lash - a long-range damaging ray
  • Chain Lightning - Chains up to 4 targets within a 3-cell radius, dealing psy rating × psyker's WillpowerBonus damage to each.
  • Neural Surge - The psyker deals WP Bonus Shock damage to the target ally. At the start of each turn, the damaged ally gains movement points equal to
    their Toughness bonus. The target's melee attacks apply Static Charge
Talents
  • Thunderstruck -  Enemies that begin their turn stunned, blinded or with Static Charge stacks within the psyker's line of sight take WP bonus Shock damage.
  • Neural Shield - The psyker gains +(8 + 8*PsyRating)% additional armour against Shock damage and half this amount as additional armour against energy damage from Exotic and Power weapons.
  • Stormcaller-  Whenever the psyker deals Shock damage to a unit, their attacks and abilities deal +1 damage until the end of the combat.
  • Warpstride - agility to allies under the effects of psychic powers
  • Battle Sorcerer - If the psyker's only equipped weapon is a one-handed, non-staff melee weapon, the first time each turn the psyker use a damaging psyker power they can make an extra melee attack with a -15 WeaponSkill malus. (This Talent will know if you are hiding a Bolter in your secondary weapon slots! You will get the extra melee attack only if the Melee Weapon is the only weapon on your character. This Talent have a hidden compatibility with One Handed Staves - you can wield a sword/mace/axe in a hand and a Staff in the other hand, Gandalf Eisenhorn style)

Excess -  [ WIP - Abilities may be subject to changes, be safe and report bugs!]

"Excruciating pain. Paralyzing pleasures. Consuming greed, pride, and self-indulgence. Using the warp to bend the body and mind of one's enemies is an unsanctioned practice, for it invites the influence of Chaos into the soul".

The Excess discipline is ispired by Slaneesh's domains. It revolves around CC and debuff. It's available to Sanctioned Psykers, but not as a starting discipline.

  • Pangs of Misery -  Deals WP Bonus to 3xWP Bonus Neural damage. The target must pass a Willpower resistance test with +Heretic Rank malus. On a failed test, the target suffers a random physical or psychological trauma. [Curated list of debuff in progress]
  • Allure -  All enemies that are not immobilized in a 6-cell radius around the Psyker must pass a Willpower resistance test or immediately move 3 cells toward the character. For 1 round the psyker becomes the lowest priority target for enemy attacks.
  • Sensory Overload- The psyker flood the target's mind with unbearable pleasure. If the target is a Human with difficulty tier I or II, they must pass a Toughness resistance test with a −(5 + PsyRating x Willpower Bonus) penalty. The target cannot act until the end of their next turn and counts as full cover for the Psyker and their allies when adjacent to that enemy. At the end of their turn, the target suffer (1 + Target FEL Bonus) to (Target's Fellowship Bonus x Target's Fellowship Bonus) mental damage. If the target passes the test, is not a Human, or has a greater difficulty tier, they onlysuffer the damage immediatly.
  • The Six Blades of Prosepheron - This ability can only be used with at least one sword equipped, once per combat. Until the end of combat, the psyker can make +(Heretic Ranks) extra melee attacks during their turn.
Talents
  • Sadistic Glee -  Whenever the psyker deals damage to an ally, the psyker gains +1 Resolve until the end of their turn.
