Greetings! I've been playing in a long-run Dark Heresy campaing (three and a half years now) with a Noble (Scintillian) Adept (which is the name of my Avatar) and being at 15k XP, we are pretty close to move into Ascention. I have a couple of doubts which i'd like to get clarified:
1) Does the Unnatural Intelligence (x2) trait which you can buy at the Sage Rank stacks with the one provided by the Good Quality Cortex Implant ? (DH pag 155). Meaning: Can you get an Unnatural Intellgence (x3) on this deal?
2) How does Unnatural Agility (x2 ) and Lightning Reflexes talent stack for Initiative?
3) Rules for Heavy Weapons state that if you don't brace them (bipod/tripod, sanbag etc and using a full action) it's impossible to do semi/auto fire and you get a -30 penalty to shot. The Bulging Biceps talent states that you can fire a weapon on semi or auto fire modes without first bracing, does the talent also remove the -30 to hit penalty?
4) Is there any way in the game to remove the -10/-10 penalty for Ambidiextry/Two Weapon Wielder (Melee) ? (Like the Gunslinger ranged talent)
5) Is there a guideline to put a price on the Implants found on Rouge Trader?
6) Two Weapon Wielder (Ranged) and Two Weapon Wielder (Melee) are required to perform attacks with a ranged weapon and a melee weapon in the same turn, otherwise you don't count to have any of them. Does this mean that if you have Ambidiextry and Two Weapon Wielder (Ranged) a nd i try to attack with a Bolt pistol and a Chainsword i get a -10 / -30 penalty? (or a -20 / -40 penalty without Ambidiextry ?). Can i do multiple attacks without having any Two Weapon Wielder talents? (like firing two bolt pistols without Two Weapon Wielder Ballistic s talent)
7) Table 5-5 'Servitors and Familiars" (Page 145, Inquisitor's Handbook) seems to be a guideline to build cyber-familiars from scratch (thus, to calculate the Adeptus Arbites Cyber-Mastiff for example). Could this table also be used to improve already exsisting ones? If i'd want to buy a Cortex (Talent Implant) to give my Bloodhound Cyber Mastiff (Book of Judgdement page 74) the " Double Team " talent, could i do it by paying 500 thrones and passing some sort of skill test (like Tech-Use) and a reasonable lenght of time?
8) The Ordo Sicarius Initiate alternate rank on the Daemon Hunter suplement allows you to buy Psy-Rating 1 for ANY class. How does this fits on the Tech-Priest , since all background packages/talents/rules related to Psychic powers are always restricted to that class? Would it fit on the game background having a Tech Priest with psychic capability?
I'm pretty sure i have more questions, but for now these will do.
