How many times a round can a psyker activate a power? This is something a player and I have been puzzling over as different powers take different focus times raging from reactive to full action+.

My opinion is that a focus power roll can be attempted just once a round whereas the player thinks he should be able to focus pwoer 3 times a round if he activates two that take a half action and one that's reactive.

O pg. 188 of the DH corebook it says you cannot take the same action twice but would say Glimpse (pg 172) and Seal Wounds (pg. 170) count as different actions? To me they're not but I don't like using the gm fiat too often.

Also if a player manifests Seal Wounds then later wants to manifest Catch Projectiles is that legit?

jSorry if this is an abviously daft question it's just bugging me.

[just re-read the errata and it's covered in there. sorry folks]

Straight out of the Errata:

The first paragraph in the Using Psychic Powers
section starting on page 161 should include the
addition: “Making a Focus Power Action is the psychic
equivalent of a Standard Attack Action, and counts as such
for purposes of determining what else a psyker can do in a
round. Therefore, a psyker who uses a Half Action power
cannot make another Half Action Standard Attack on the
same round. A Psyker may manifest only one ability per
Round with the exception of the Resist Possession power.
A Psyker is required to roll at least one die to manifest an
ability.”
