Psychic Techniques of Chaos

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.

or suffer 1d3 Mortal Wounds as well.

2 DoS Double the blast radius.


Possession

Value: 300 XP
Prerequisites: ??
Focus Power Test: Target’s Willpower (Opposed Test)
Sustained: Yes
Range: 30 m
Focus Time: Full Action
Multi-target: No
Prerequisite: Psyker must have the CHAOS Keyword
Effect: You breach your enemy’s mind, quashing its will completely, and turning their body into your puppet.
You and your target make an Opposed Willpower Test. If you succeed, the target is completely dominated — they have no free will whatsoever. With a simple thought you can compel the target to perform any task you choose as long as the power is Sustained.
This control has no limits, and victims do anything you command them to do without question. You immediately gain 1 Corruption on activation of this power, and the target must make a -20 Corruption Test when the power ends.
Possession is mentally draining, as you must constantly overpower the target’s persona. You suffer 3-DoS Fatigue every Round you sustain the power. You may not recover Shock while sustaining this power.
Overbleed:
1 DoS Activation reduced to an Action.
2 DoS May sustain the power for a minute before taking Shock.

a random mutation from the Minor Mutation table
(p.288). The resulting mutation is horrific, but
temporary. The target’s flesh returns to normal when
the power ends.

suffer 1 Shock for every minute you sustain the power.
You may not recover Shock while sustaining this power.

Infernal Gaze

XP Cost: 10
DN: Target’s Defence
Activation: Action

Range: 25 m
Multi-target: Yes
Keywords: CHAOS, PSYCHIC
Prerequisite: Psyker must have the CHAOS Keyword


Effect: You worm your way into the mind of your victim, forcing them to experience the dread things that only the Warp can unveil.
The target temporarily loses 1 Intellect and must make a successful DN 7 Willpower Test or suffer intense, personal hallucinations. These hallucinations take the form of supernatural illusions that only they can see. The target immediately rolls on the Perils of the Warp table.
The effects of these hallucinations continue for as long as you sustain the power, or until the Perils of the Warp run their course, whichever is longer. In certain circumstances, where the target may question why those around them are not affected by such an obvious supernatural event as determined by the roll on the table, the target may be allowed to reroll its Willpower Test. Temporary lost Intellect returns at the rate of 1 point per day.
Infernal Gaze is mentally taxing. You suffer 1 Shock for every minute you sustain the power. You may not recover Shock while sustaining this power.
Overbleed:
u [1] +1 temporary Intellect damage.
u *[3] Target must add the psyker’s Corruption score to the first digit of their d66 roll on the Perils of the Warp table.
