Daemon Weapon / Daemonic Mastery Test

By arkenfels, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Hi Everyone

My Assassin (Death Adept / Sin Eater) now ownes a Daemon Weapon.

My GM told me I have to make a Daemonic Mastery test everytime I use this Weapon, which seems very hard to me.

The rules are not clear in this point. Do you have to make this test everytime you use it, or once to bring the Weapon under control and then maybe again when the wielder is weakend by drug influence, mind derangement, fatigue, stunned or something thelike?

Just for the interested:

Weapon: Dagger 1d5+ SB + WB(3); Warp Weapon, Soul Thirster (Entity bound is associated with Khorne, Willpower 33)

While not strictly applicable to Dark Heresy, the version in Black Crusade requires a Daemonic Mastery Test upon first obtaining the weapon, and then once more at any point where the wielder is stunned or unconscious (so do not leave your Daemon Weapon on your person when you go to sleep).

And stay away from any Psykers that use the Flashbang minor psychic power because if you fail the test it stuns you. LOL gui%C3%B1o.gif

Thanx so far. The Black Crusade Rules should work.

@phi: Psykers stay away from me! gui%C3%B1o.gif anyway thanx for the advice. but a +20 on Wp together with resistance pp give me a good chance to deal with this minor power. i could even convince my gm to give me extra bonus because of my good q photo visor.....
