I want to slap in a Chaos sorceror into a game that I have planned, but Im not entirely sure how i would. I know that Chaos sorcery works a bit like psychic powers, but the only thing Ive found so far is in one of the RT books. Would that work fine in Deathwatch or would it need tweaks?

Thanks

Sorcery is best described in the DH books; Disciples of the Dark Gods, Radicals Handbook, Ascension. The RT mechanics are probably closer to DW though. A good example of a DW level Chaos Sorceror is in The Emperor Protects.

the one in TEP is rather nasty

Alas, not all of us have TEP. Perhaps it would be a good idea to create your own? I am starting to write up a game which is almost normal Deathwatch, but with Traitor Marnes, and can give you the stats for the Chaos Marine Sorceror when I finish.

Thatd be cool if you could do that, in the mean time i think ill attempt to make my own using a range of the powers from other books

The one main thing to remember when creating Chaos Marines is that some of them have had 10,000 + years to perfect their evilness.. I would try to decide on what Fallen Chapter they represent and then you can tailor the powers and abilities to represent that Power of Chaos to it's fullest. I have just picked up the Rogue Trader Main Book and it is an excellent source to use as a template to help.

I dont know many of the Fallen Chapters, and I know even less about how many of them actually have sorcerors in their ranks. I spose itd be easy to pick out one seeing as the sorceror itself is an Ultramarines Librarian who has been corrupted, but manages to hide his taint long enough from the players for it to actually hold a shock when they have to fight some one who is in such a prestigous chapter who has fallen and they couldnt even tell. Is there any Fallen Chapter that would actually do that?
