I have encounter between a Tzeentch Sorcerer and the PCs set for tomorrow. Now I'm considering giving the sorcerer the 'Flicker' spell on page 219. Basically it gives him the incorporeal trait (pg 141). It says normally an Incorporeal creature can't normally affect the corporeal world. However, I don’t think sending Doom Bolts would be limited by this power? What say you?

I realise this reply is a little late, so I apologize, but maybe this will help.

With the Incorporeal Gift of the Gods, I believe that being Tzeentch Aligned allows you to use Psyker powers despite your lack of physical substance. As you're using a Tzeentch Sorceror it would be fair to think that he would have that benefit.

The prophet of Tzeentch in the core book adventure also continues using psychic powers while insubstantial through flicker. However, he changes to exclusively using Tzeentchian mind-control, so you feel it makes it more fair, one could take the stance that any physical effect powers (TK, direct damage etc) can't be used.

That said, ask yourself this: how many of your pc's could actually strike against an Insubstantial enemy? This is, IIRC, exclusively something psykers and people with Daemon weapons can do. A fight against an untouchable opponent you can't harm isn't exactly fun.

From experience, a Tzeentchian Space Marine Psyker with a good spread of powers and Flicker is a nightmare to stop for anything but another psyker, and a pretty **** scary one even for them.

if you feel like balcning things out then slide a minor deamon weapon to one of your party members, using the rules say its boung at max strength so only one power and itsc minor one so only a plas pistol with a horrow or damonette, will help enough thats its not so unstrung

can a psyker with the psyker power "flicker" cast psychic powers when are incorporeal?

Yes.

It may have consequences, though, as it can be considered a little bit too cheesy if there's no one around to hurt you while incorporeal. The GM may start throwing more daemon weapons, daemons, warp weapons and psykers at you to deal with it. The rest of your warband will hurt then too.

If the GM is using foes with Flicker and the warband has no way of dealing with it, it's just a dickish move (assuming it's not an important NPC who's using it during an escape).
