Psychic Phenomena and Perils of Warp

Psychic Phenomena Table

Also known as the Psychic Phenomena Chart or Minor Warp Disturbances, this table is rolled on before the Perils of the Warp table and represents less catastrophic but still dangerous side effects that may occur when a psyker fails to control their power.

---

When Is It Used?

• Whenever a psyker rolls zero on their Focus Power Test.
• The result is a d100 roll on the Psychic Phenomena table.
• If the roll totals 75 or more (after modifiers), it escalates into the Perils of the Warp table.
