I am a bit confused about the rules for gaining psychic powers in Dark Heresy.

You start off at Psy rating 1, which allows you to roll one die and ad your willpower bonus. It also allows you to start off with a number of minor psychic powers equal to half of your WP bonus rounded up (so if mine was 3, I would get two). This seems straight forward.

What I am confused about is that you can buy your 2nd Psy rating at 200 and it lets you have up to one half of your WP bonus (rounded up) automatically? Plus you can take that minor psychic power up to three times at the Neonate Rank?

There is no limit to how many powers you can buy other than your rank advancement, right?

sorry for the dumb question, but this info is kind of scattered throughout the book (in three spots, actually) and it is a little unclear.

Hi Dustin,

you are a little "off track". Topics like that are better of in the "Rules Question" section .

Anyway, I think you got it quiet right:

Each step of "Psi Power" offers you additional powers as written (take not that only the WPB at THIS TIME counts...no "retro-upgrading after raising WP") and you can buy some more as "Talents", just like extra wounds with the "Sound Constitution" Talent
