That's not a bad thing, you just need to be expecting it.
The simple fact is that Psykers need to be a little bit more careful than everyone else. Dark Heresy is not a "meat grinder" system wherein you should expect to have a new character rolled up every other session, but it is the sort of game that rewards you being careful about a situation rather than just bursting in, guns blazing all the time. Ultimately, learn to laugh at the mishaps when they happen. Similarly - try being a Hero every once in a while and earn back your lost Fate Points, and use that to offset the ones that you spend on preventing yourself from getting eaten by daemons in the first place. Keep your WP bonus as high as possible and prioritise new talents like Corpus Conversion, Discipline Focus and (to a lesser extent) Favoured By The Warp, all so as to make your rolls as consistent as possible. This obviously won't prevent you from rolling mishaps, but at low level there really isn't much way around that so your best bet is to be as efficient as possible before that happens.Īs for not rolling Psy dice unless you have to, that is just fairly straight-forward min-maxing. Instead, take powers that can help anyone and not just yourself - Healing in particular is hugely valuable - or something like Weapon Jinx, which automatically takes an opponent out of the fight for a few rounds, and thus prevents someone from getting Boltgun'd in the face for a while. but all that means is that the rest of your squad are getting shot to bits. You could, for example, take the Chameleon power and keep yourself safe. The keys to building a good - and relatively safe - Psyker are to pick powers which will have the most effect in helping the party rather than just yourself, and to take stats and talents that mean you don't need to roll Psy dice.
Psychic Powers in Dark heresy, even after you account for the FAQ which fixes a significant number of badly-worded powers and overpowered abilities, are notably more powerful than the abilities available to any other class mishap and warp phenomena are the price you pay for that, in terms of theme, fluff, and also balance. However, it seems like you need as high a Psy Rating as possible to stand a chance of reliably using any discipline power.You have correctly identified the role of Psykers in Dark Heresy. This seems very detrimental, and it seems like you would want to not have a higher psy rating than you need. It seems like the more D10's you have, the more likely you're going to invoke a psychic phenomenon, as the more dice you roll the more often numbers will appear. So suggestions focused around that idea, would be appreciated. worrisome, and makes it seems like I'll possibly be more of a detriment to my party than a benefit.Īlso, I want to be more combat focused, utilizing Psychic Blade (19 threshold), and Telekinetic powers in general, eventually, in combination with biomancy. It really seems to me like I'm going to be rolling for psychic phenomenon a lot, and that's. I'm trying to figure out a good Psyker build, that reduces the chances of a psychic phenomenon (or at the very least a "bad" phenomenon).
However, it seems like you need as high a Psy Rating as possible to stand a chance of reliably using any discipline power. Then there are Psy Ratings, which increase the number of D10's you roll. On a roll of a 9, I invoke a psychic phenomenon, as I understand it. So, I'm about to play my first game of DH 1st edition, and I'm going to play a Psyker.
