Penalties for sustaining psychic powers

By itcamefromthedeep, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

The rulebook seems to be unclear on what the penalties for sustaining psychic powers are. Dark Heresy Page 164. The errata v3.0 seems to be no help.

is it:

1 power: -0

2 powers: -4

3 powers: -8

4 powers: -16

---

or is it:

1 power: -4

2 powers: -8

3 powers: -16

4 powers: impossible

Any clues as to the intent?

I'll ask my player who has a psyker, get back to you.

launching the first power: -0

launching the second power: -4

launching the third power: -8

launching the fourth power: -16

launching the fifth power: impossible

bye ;)

well, looks like you have your answer lol

I do not remember in DH but in RT it add a +10 to the psychic phenomenas also.

Somewhat related to this: what type of action would you guys say dismissing powers is? Free action? Others? I can't find any mention of it in the book, and there are definitely instances where this could be important.
