Elite advance Astropath

Experience cost
300 xp

Prerequisites

Sanctioned Psyker: A character must possess the Psyker elite advance and the Adeptus Astra Telepathica background in order to gain the Astropath elite advance.

GM Guidance: The Astropath elite advance is generally most appropriate for starting characters. Becoming an Astropath is a gruelling and lengthy process that usually occurs as part of a psyker’s Scholastica Psykana training.
It is extremely rare for a psyker to become sanctioned and to later become an Astropath, and to do so would require a journey to Holy Terra in order to undergo the ritual of Soul Binding. However, Acolytes are exceptional individuals by their nature, and an Inquisitor could arrange for a psyker amongst his Acolytes to undergo the process to become an Astropath.

Instant changes

Gains the Unnatural Senses (X) trait, where X equals the Astropath’s Willpower characteristic.

Unlocked advances
An Astropath character gains access to a special set of talents and psychic powers. These talents and psychic powers are only available to an Astropath character, and are purchased with experience in the same way that regular talents and psychic powers are purchased. The psychic powers do not belong to a discipline, but can require certain discipline powers as a prerequisite.
