Greetings, brethern,

in the mission briefing for [DC], an auto seance conducted by the Adeptus Arbites (or it least demanded by them) is mentioned. Thereby, DarkHeresy seem to official incorportating it into their canon. Any idea with which rules to one could cover something like that? I think about incorporting it into my games from time to time. If my player-psykers ask for it, I can of course say "no, one needs a special training for this you do not have" but I wonder how one could cover this aspect and make it available to players without destroying every murder-mystery-plot right from the start.

For simplicities sake, I would say an Auto-Seance uses the rules for Invocation (the "ritual" aspect of the seance), Astropathic Choirs (combining the power of multiple psykers) and Psychometry to discern the psychic impressions left by an event.

Could also be done with an Æon (Diviner) of sufficient strength; say Hermetic (Psy Rating 4) or stronger. Of course, then it would not quite be the same thing the Astropaths do, but the end results would likely be similar, presuming the Diviner didn't "get eaten by a Grue."
