NOOB Tech-Priest

By Thallos2, in Dark Heresy

alright, id like to try a tech-priest, but with all their implants, they seem to be very confusing, how does it work? do they HAVE all those implants? because the trait merely says 'suitable' for them, if you could sum it up for me, that would be fantastic, thank you very much

They do indeed start with all those implants, but the only one that will have any real of game effect, at least at the start, is the Respirator Unit, which gives you +20 to resist airborn toxins and gas weapons. If you take a look at the list of talents (page 110) you'll see that there are many that only a Tech-Priest can have. This is why you have all the implants, since many of the Tech-Priest Only talents are extensions of the implants. For instance: Electrical Succour makes use of your Electoo Inductor / Potentia Coil to remove Fatigue, the Cranial Circutry / Cyber Mantle is required to have Mechadendrites, the Rite of Awe and Rite of Fear uses your Respirator Unit to create "fear" effects, and I think the Electro Graft's only use is described in the talent with the same name.

And you should get hung up on the word "suitable", it mearly means that each person who becomes a Tech-Priest is given those implants.

thank you very much, that greatly helps
