Discipline Focus

By Edsel62, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Searched the forums and could not find this. Can Discipline Focus be taken multiple times for the same Discipline? For example, can a character take Discipline Focus Telepathy twice and thereby get a +4 to their Psychic Power rolls?

No. You can take Discipline Focus multiple times, but only once per Discipline - each discipline's Focus talent is considered a separate talent, as with any Talent Group. The only talents can be taken multiple times for a cumulative effect are Power Well and Sound Constitution, which both mention this fact in their text.

Thanks, that is as I suspected it would be.

Keep in mind it *does* stack with Discipline Mastery though, which kicks in if they learn 10 or more of a discipline. It won't increase their power rolls, but it drops the abilities PT by 5. Combine this with the +2 from Focus and you get an effective +7 :P
