Overbleed X
- The difference between a successful roll and the target number on a Focus Power roll equals the Overbleed generated by a Focus Power Test.
- The maximum amount of Overbleed that may be generated is equal to the Psyker’s Willpower Bonus times the Psy Rating used for that Focus Power Test.
- This Overbleed may be expended on Overbleed Bonuses.
- X is equal to the amount of Overbleed that must be ‘spent’ to trigger a given Overbleed Bonus.
- An Overbleed Bonus can only be triggered once per such expenditure.
- Unless otherwise noted, Overbleed Bonuses are cumulative and stack with each other.

This is a list of the original Dark Heresy psychic powers that were not included with Rogue Trader, converted to the latter system’s Psychic Technique format, bringing back the altogether scrapped disciplines of Biomancy and Pyromancy, and supplementing Divination, Telepathy and Telekinesis.Because Rogue Trader does not operate with the concept of minor powers, these were divided among the disciplines as appropriate. All credit for the conversion goes to Surrealistik.Optional Rule –

Minor psychic powers from Wrath & Glory 2. edition.
Chameleon
Activation: Action
Duration: Sustained
Range: Self
Multi-target: No
Effect: You bend reality just enough to cause your image to blend with your surroundings. While this power remains in effect, you gain +20 bonus dice to Stealth (Ag) Tests and + 10 to your Dodge against ranged attacks.

3 DoS Additional +10 bonus to Dodge.
Compel
Activation: Simple Action
Duration: 1 Round
Range: 5 m
Multi-target: No
Effect: You implant a simple command in the mind of a nearby creature. This command must be short (consisting of a single action), simple, and obvious, but can otherwise overcome the given creature’s own interests or base instincts.
Example commands include: ‘drop the weapon,’ ‘open the door’ or ‘push him.’ Suggestions cannot make a creature perform an action that they are simply incapable of performing — for example, you can’t make a Cyber Mastiff work a cogitator.
The target creature must successfully pass a DN 4 Willpower Test or is compelled to obey.
Overbleed:
1 DoS +1 DN to the Willpower test to resist.
2 DoS +1 Round duration.

Overbleed:
1 DoS +1 to the DN for detection attempts.
Conjure Flame
Activation: Movement
Duration: Sustained
Range: Self
Multi-target: No
Effect: You conjure a simple flame. This flame can vary in size, from as small as a match to as large as a crackling torch. This flame behaves in every way as real fire and can be used to ignite combustible materials.
While the flame exists, you are immune to its effects, though you are not immune to the effects of fire from any other source (nor is your clothing or any items you’re holding). When making a melee attack, this flame can be used as a weapon inflicting 8+1 E damage. At the GM’s discretion, this can cause the On Fire condition.
Overbleed:
1 DoS You generate an additional flame.
2 DoS +1 E damage.
Dull Pain
Activation: Simple Action
Duration: 1 Round
Range: 5 m
Multi-target: Yes

2 DoS Range increased by 5 m
Invoke Luck
Activation: Simple Action
Duration: 1 Round

1 DoS You gain additional +10 bonus dice to the chosen Test.
Inflict Pain
Activation: Action
Duration: Sustained
Range: 5 m
Multi-target: Yes
Effect: You draw upon the swirling energies of the Warp and pour them into the mind of your target, wracking them with debilitating pain.
Choose a target within visual range. That target is immediately Stunned for 1d3 rounds and must make a successful Willpower Test or become Prone.
As long as you sustain this power, the target must make the same Test again at the beginning of each of their Turns or be dealt another round of Stun and must remain Prone. If the target resists, they are immune to becoming Prone by this power for the rest of the scene, but still takes Stun.
Inflict Pain has no effect against targets that aren’t truly alive (such as Daemons, plants, Beings with Machine Trait 6+, etc.).
Overbleed:
1 DoS Additional +1 Shock damage per sustained Round.
Subvert Machine
Activation: Action
Duration: Instant
Range: 25 m

Range: Self
Multi-target: No
Effect: You use your force of will to unshackle your body from the constraints of gravity.
You can float freely, hovering or moving slowly up or down (1/2 Speed). You are not able to truly fly, however, so must use some other means to move in any other direction. This power may be used to attempt to negate a fall.
Overbleed:
1 DoS May move at normal Speed up or down.
2 DoS May also affect a willing creature within 5m. The Psyker controls their vertical movement.
Psychic Torch
Activation: Simple Action
Duration: Sustained
Range: 5 m
Multi-target: No
Effect: You conjure a floating orb of glowing light. Though typically equal in intensity to a common
lumen torch, you can cause it to become as dim as a candle or as bright as a flare through concentration.
The orb typically floats in the air beside you, but with a mental command it can be given simple instructions
such as to follow you, orbit your head, or to remain stationary at a specific location. The orb may move up
to your Speed, but instantly dissipates if it passes out of range and must be re-summoned.
Overbleed:
1 DoS Range is increased by 5 m.
2 DoS May create an additional orb.
Phantom Grip
Activation: Full Action
Duration: Sustained
Range: 10 m
Multi-target: No
Effect: You manifest an invisible set of phantom hands within range.
By using the appropriate action, you can use these hands to perform any number of tasks that they might do — push a button, open/close a door, pull the pin from a grenade, etc., though you must be able to see the object/target to be manipulated. For the purposes of these tasks, the Phantom Grip has a Strength and Agility equal to your Willpower.
Phantom Grip can’t be used to make an attack, but the GM may allow you to make an Interaction Attack using a dice pool equal to your Willpower.
Overbleed:
1 DoS Activation reduced to an Half-Action.
2 DoS Range increased by 10 m.

line-of-sight.

incurring additional consequences depending upon their situation at the time.
Overbleed:
1 DoS Range is increased by 15 m.
2 DoS Agility Test DN increased by 1.
Otherworldly Voices
Activation: Action
Duration: Sustained
Range: 25 m
Multi-target: No
Effect: You mould the cacophonous sounds of the Warp into a tool for your own purposes, causing ghostly voices or other sounds to appear from places or objects within line of sight and in range.
These voices or sounds have an echoing, otherworldly quality to them, and cannot rise in volume above a typical conversational tone. These sounds are usually used to unnerve or distract others, but they can also be used to convey information to distant targets, though such communication is oneway and disturbing in nature.
Overbleed:
1 DoS Range is increased by 25 m.
2 DoS Volume of voices and sounds increased to level of a shout.
