Three words.....

"Is this possible?"

For those that may want a little more detail.....

We’re talking a Gunslinger type Assassin/Nascent Psyker very close to ascending and loving the look of the Vindicare career. Unfortunately we do like to play in character (I know shocking isn't it) so if this is something that wouldn't happen in the setting, we'll just skip it. Probably going with the Interrogator career instead with the PC becoming an official pysker via the translation package (can't remember its name).

We're not incredibly versed in the setting outside the RPG books. Picking out a way for this to happen in game (within the rules and forgoing any houserules) is something either impossible or something you fine people would swoop down explain for us all to see.

Thanks guys

You'd definitely need the Mind's Eye Opens - during Vindicare training, psychic ability will be noticed and they're not going to let such a loose cannon become one of their most prized assassins. As this transition package doesn't allow for entry into the Vindicare, I don't see a way of getting there.

Haven't heard of psychic Vindicares either, though most of them could probably be considered psycho...

Unfortunately the OA is notoriously anti-psyker (note the Culexis Temple!). They are inherently unpredictable and volatile, something falling far short of perfection and precision. I would recommend going for Interrogator or Primaris Psyker. Nascent Psyker is definately a dramatic character development and can be fun to play, but it closes at least as many doors as it opens. Unfortunately there is not a package for translating a proto-psyker into Stormtrooper or that would have been a decent fit (probably)... I am assuming you want to further develop your new powers, so that one is out. Other than the signature weapons you could possibly get your hands on some of the assassin type wargear if your Inquisitor is willing to pull a few strings. I am currently working on a new Ascended career for gunslinger types, but it doesn't include psychic abilities in its build either, so no joy there.

By the RAW, why is the bolded true? As far as I can see, all the general packages are open to any character, from any class going into whatever class?

In the discription of Minds Eye Open, Ascension pg 48:

"Ascended Careers: Interogator, Inquisitor, Primaris Psyker, Sage." ;-)

To my memory, the "This fits this career" is really more of a general guidline, with the exception of the Vindicare "Sniper Training Camp" one.

Gah. Somehow I had missed that each individual general package had career restrictions. Thanks.

No. The transitions listed for a specific career are for that specific career. The General Transition packages are mostly available to any. The exception being The Mind's Eye Opens not being available to Psykers or Techpriests, and leading to only the previously mentioned ascended careers of Interrogator, Inquisitor, Primaris and Sage.

Of course, one of those exits led me to ask a question and post the answer here. Quite interesting stuff.

What Career may change into what Ascended Career is a guideline, with the exception of Magos. Transition packages are actual rules, though.
