Rewards of the Gods

By vogue69, in Black Crusade

Are those rewards cumulativ?

let's say for example the Warpsmith gift.

Those that make sense as being cumulativ probably are, such as flaming arm or warpsmith.

unaligned charaters will never gain "good" mutations, rather they have the chioce between Eye-Stalks and Intelligent Cysts?

I think mutations that give the same bonus like mark of tzeenech and warpsmith both give psy rating. You just take the higher of the 2 instead of adding them together. I believe it states that somewhere in the book regarding traits.

No, unaligned chars have the best chance at good mutations, about a double chance of getting what they want. Also, a char who is unaligned while selecting all corruptions, then converts to a god, will have the best set of gifts of the gods possible, most likely -- for a future Khornate, for instance its ludicrously awesome to have Illusion of Normalcy (ALWAYS!!! PERIOD!!! surprise as a Khorne follower, with that +30 or so bonus for surprise, which is insanely powerful with lightning attack and helps you close to melee), Nerveless Ennui (gotta love an additional ignoring of 1-9 points of critical damage per hit, although it seems the only way to experience pleasure is Ecstatic Oblivion used on you now), and of course, Dimensional Instability (go incorporeal for 1-9 rounds, while possibly being able to attack if your will is strong enough).

Other chars will want different things, of course -- if you want to look like a classic demon, you might want horns, wings, and a tail really bad, a female follower of Slaanesh might really want a chaos organ really bad, some PCs will want to become freakin' robots or daemonettes, etc. etc.

it says you can't have 2 marks of tzeentch. but it also declares the mutations as: the psyker gets the trait Psyrating (+2)

which I read as +2 to your current rating. Otherwise it would say Psyrating(2)
