Ascension's sound constitution and malleus psycannon

By cpt.catarro, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

A stupid question about buying sound constitution advancements in ascension,you have to forgive me but my players are really the example of the munchkin...

In the crusader advances for rank 9 there is "sound constitution x3" at 500xp, this means that you can take it 3 times at 500 points each,right?

and not 3 more wounds at 500 points as my player did...

About the psycannon: a psyker can add his wp bonus to the damage,the threshold and the result is the same for single shot and full auto? or i can't use it for full auto?

1) Yes, the listings "Sound Constitution (*X) means it can be bought that many times each at the listed price, increasing the wound total of the character by 1 each time. It was formatted that way because it actually saves a small amount of space in print by no longer requiring the lines for the footnotes.

2) That is a a **** fine question. I presume only in single-fire mode. Since the extra damage comes with a Manifest Power action, and you can only perform one of those a round (exception being Resist Possession as a Reaction) you would only be able to apply the extra damage to one round anyway. Still, I'd consider shooting that particular one off to Mack just to be certain.

You're right about that. It's the same as the advance most careers get on rank 1.

A most interesting question. It's not spelt out in the rules how this works... depending on how strong you want the psycannon to be, I could both see allowing the imbuing to happen for the entire next round or just for the next shot - meaning that only the first hit on a full auto salve would benefit.
Until an errata is published, that would probably be your call.

Ooh, how about giving it an overbleed of 8 or 10; each degree of overbleed is an additional shot imbued. As an unofficial rule until clarification can be had, it seems reasonable, right?

I thought about the overbleed too,but i couldn't quantify the power to decide it's rating. 8 seems fine.

and i like the idea of the first shoot enchanged in full auto.

Thanks!
