    Not whatever spell, he is still restricted to Lexicanum spells, and I was thinking of putting a chain-reaction to increased risk in but have not yet quite come up with something that I like. Something along the lines of that with every continuous spell one gets greater risk on Perils of the Warp aka Crit. Fail.

    I.e. 1st spell = 1 = Crit. Fail
    2nd spell in a row = 1 & 3 = Crit. Fail
    3rd spell in a row = 1 & 3 & 5 = Crit. Fail

    Now let's say it was 3rd spell in a row and he now does 1 turn nothing, now it falls back only to 2nd spell in a row. So 1 & 3 are still crit. fails.

    But the reason I am not really for that is because it's a class ability, and I don't want to turn them into glorified Assault Marines. Plus... The system is not made for PvP at all, it was created for a PvE with giving players the advantage to make them feel more awesome. And those flaws are coming out quite brash right now, lol.

    I agree but then again nobody makes use of their talents much, when looking at Zuriel and his Grandmaster of the Rage for example xD

    And as Psyker being a spellcaster I guess people are just more likely to use them because good variety. Be assured I see the problem but I have not a solution as of yet.

    I get what you are saying, and I do not want you to feel like I am attacking the system you have, but I just noticed something that was pretty clear and wanted to point it out. And I love to use my abilities! I just have a -limit- so I try to use them at the right moments.

    Nah believe me I see a ton of flaws in the psyker system, but it's hard to balance something if you don't have a full-time psyker. From the spell selection over their effects as well as when they go wrong.

    And yeah I get that. Most likely I actually after this mission want to give always 1 talent away and give a 2nd reward which is either an additional talent or a stronger version of the 1st talent or a special piece of equipment.

    Because I think that is what would make combat overall more interesting - seeing talents being used in @BadDo9 's tournament as well as whenever you use Blue Meteor. Gives more dynamic to it overall.

    Hey, I'm trying to save it for the biggest baddies! :p I only get 1 per mission, gotta use it wisely

    I said I'd wait because you were given a choice about what to do. If Claudius had gone for the webway, as he has now, I might have attacked the Blood Raven instead of you.

    As for the psyker thing I thought Uriel already had a system in place concerning overuse.

    Yeah it's "I hope Crit. Fails happen on a fair base" XD

    Exactly. Though the stun will wear off once the combat is over anyway ^^

    The stun was a pleasant surprise. At first I was like "Awh, I have to sit on my ass doing nothing." Then I read the flavor text and I was like "Oh yippee roleplaying!"

    (No I'm not ,like, a twelve year old girl.)

    To be honest, I was surprised at how much the Sorcerers screwed up, lol. Aaaand luckily you guys did not suffer from a Daemon Prince marching through a warp rift or something :3

    Well, we would have to kill him anyways... not like we could after being wasted by some sorc cabal, but we could die trying :)
