My player asks - Why are Assail and Foreboding concentration subtypes while molten beam isn't?
I just noticed assail, shockwave and moreover foreboding are classified as concentration. Foreboding lets me use powers to dodge as a reaction. if I have a telekinetic shield up can can't use anything with concentration even the non-concentration part of oh crush? I know I can concentration on multiple powers I just take a loss on power but according to the forum is sounds like you can't use two concentration powers in the same turn...
assail
The psyker reaches out with his mind to pluck up whatever objects
are available and hurl them at his target. If there is nothing suitable
nearby, the psyker can direct his mental energies directly at his foe,
pounding him with bolts of invisible force.
Value: 200 xp
Prerequisite: Willpower 40
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Ordinary (+10) Willpower test
Range: 20 metres x psy rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Effect: If the psyker scores at least three degrees of success on
the Focus Power test for this attack, the target is also thrown 1d5
metres away and knocked Prone. Certain especially large targets
such as battle tanks, Greater Daemons, and Titans are immune to
this effect at the Game Master’s discretion.
foreboding
The psyker gains an unnatural sixth sense. With this inexplicable
insight, he knows how and where his enemies will attack, dodging
blows and lasblasts with contemptuous and frightening ease.
Value: 200 xp
Prerequisite: Psyniscience rank 1
Action: Reaction
Focus Power: Difficult (–10) Perception test
Range: Self
Sustained: No
Subtype: Concentration
Effect: In any situation where the psyker would be called upon to
make an Evasion test, he may instead attempt to use this power. If
the power is successful, the psyker avoids the attack exactly as if he
has passed an Evasion test with the number of degrees of success
he scored on the Focus Power test.
molten beam
The pyrokine projects from his hands a blindingly bright beam of
sun-hot energy. At the touch of this blazing ray, plasteel liquefies
and flesh bursts into ash.
