Perceptor Savant talent

By Anthemonis, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Greetings everyone,

I'm playing an Imperial psyker and I'm following the career path toward the Perceptor Savant. Looking amongst the talents of the last rank, I've seen you can buy Strong Minded, but it requires WP 30 and Resistance (Psychic Power). The problem is, the latter is not available in the career path. Strong minded is also needed for Mental fortress, and since they are both quite useful talents how can I acquire them without the Resistance (Psychic power) talent? Was it just a mistake or an oversight?

Thank you everyone ^__^

Looks like you've found an item needing errata. If you are looking for an official answer I suggest emailing FFG (unfortunately I can't find an email address as I write this) and asking them. In the interim I would add it as a Savant-Adjunct advance costing 100XP. 100XP appears to be the standard for purchasing Resistance talents in the Imperial Psyker class and gaining it one rank after the Scholar branch of the tree seems reasonable.

Great, I'll write to customer support in the meantime.

Thanks a lot Black_Kestrel ^______^

Salutations Acolyte!

I can't speak to whether or not it is a mistake or an oversight (as the
Core Rulebook was designed before Fantasy Flight Games acquired the Dark
Heresy License) but I can offer a few suggestions on how to handle the
issue!

Most simply your GM could add Resistance (Psychic Power) to the advance
tree, at a cost of around 200 to 300xp. Alternately, you could take an
Elite Advance Package or an Alternate Career rank that has Resistance
(Psychic Power) available to it. Although, the first solution is by far
the simplest and most reasonable.

I hope this helps!

Hello there,

In my rulebook, I find Resistance (Psychic Powers) in the advance table of the Scholar Arcanum, the line just over Strong Minded. It costs 100 XP, and has no prerequisites.

Hope that helps, too ;)

Yep I know, but I'm following the other career path, the Savant one... In that career path there isn't, but thank you anyway ^___^
