Psy PUSH: How I did it by Victor "Madpoet" Frankenstein

By madpoet, in Dark Heresy House Rules

I love the new psy system because with the old one increasing the chance of a psy power and also its effect was too much.

it was easier for a psyker to hit with a power than for a fighter to hit with a weapon.

Now is more balanced and to increase the chance the psyker must draw less power from the warp.

Fair.

As many said the problem now is the push rule.

Hot to solve it? simple.

Push add +2 (or more) to the psyker psy power not to the power level.

so pushing rise the chance of "casting a spell" (sorry I'v been rised with bread and D&D) instead of decreasing it but at the increased risk of Psychic Phenomena or worse....

I agree. The new system actually makes a psyker choose a balance between 'accuracy' and power. In my first few sessions i misread the manifestation rules and let the psyker get way out of hand, he ended up with more kills than the entire party in one combat than the rest of the party in the entire campaign combined! I was afraid that about everyone was going to convert to psykers the first chance they got.

We finally resolved it, so now I see its far less overpowered than the almighty powers he was pouring out.

Not sure I follow you,

You want to increase the chance to manifest the power to a positive number?

(i.e. the normal -20 penalty for Pushing becomes +20?) and then remove the bonus to the effective Psy Rating?
