[IH][Bug] Divine Light of Sollex (p.38)

By Gregorius21778, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

The Background Package "Divine Light of Sollex" (Tech-Priests) indicates that the Fellowship shall be reduced by -5. Due to Core rules, Tech-Priests do not have Fellowship at all.

I did not found anything about "Divine" or "Sollex" in the last Errate.

Am I missing it?

If not (and this is a bug unfixed), any suggestions on it? Just leaving it alone or reducing something else/taking a skil away?

Tech-Priests do have a Fellowship score. They just cannot advance it by investing XP.

Which does suck as it means that unless they get a pretty better than average roll for the attribute they dont stand a chance of buying the Peer talents.

I've HR'd it that they Can buy them, but the (full) increase only works amongst other Members of the Ad-Mech, or those with strong ties/devotion to the Omnissiah, else wise they only receive a +1 when dealing with other people.

Some Ad-Mech do learn how to deal better with people, and they're the only career to suffer such a pointless (but yes XP saving for other things) thing they are not supposed to buy.

Let the players spend the XP where they want, just make sure they roleplay it as well.

Roleplay not Roll-play

I took an alternate route of allowing any Techpriest with the Binary Chatter talent and Secret Language (Tech) skill to communicate with similarly-able servants of the Omnissiah to use Logic as an interaction skill - two tech-priests blurt code at each other for a few seconds to uncover information and generally engage in conversation at a speed much faster than human vocalisation.

Yes, some Mechanicus do... but the Adeptus Mechanicus does not consist entirely of Tech-Priests. Human relations would, feasibly, be the responsibility of other servants of the Machine God, to allow the priesthood to remain focussed on holy and logical matters.

There's also the Bonded Emissary alternate rank which includes lots of social skills and is open for adepts and techpriests.
