Fettered Psychic Powers

By bigcrowe, in Rogue Trader Rules Questions

The new psychic power rules seem interesting. I got one question from reading the rules though,...

Table 6-1 on page 157 states that for a Fettered power 'No check, the power is activated'.

The rules don't seem to refer to that table, so I'm not totally sure what test it's talking about. Does this mean no Focus Power test is required to use the power (assuming it would normally need one)?

The way I read it (and taking the rest of the chapter into account), you still check for power activation (Characteristic test on WIllpower, Psyniscience or Awareness) but there is absolutely no risk of any Psychic Phenomena.

You are actively reigning in your ability to ensure risk free usage.

I'd say they forgot the words 'on the psychic phenomena table'

I agree.

Thanks everyone. A couple more read throughs and I think I understand psychic powers now.
