Warpcraft Affinities
- Affinities represent a narrow focus or signature relationship with a specific psychic aspect.
- They are tied thematically to a Technique + Form, but express a particular flavor or application.
- A psyker may begin with 1+Psy Rating/3 affinities and gains them as Psy rating increases. If Talisman or Relic raises characters Psy Rating it does not provide more affinities.
