Hello all,

I'm currently playing in a Beta v2 Dark Heresy game.

Here is my question. If I have a shock maul, and turn off the power (assuming that I can or it runs out of juice)...does it at that point become a simple weapon/truncheon that I would need the separate weapon skill for? Or does it still use the shock maul weapon skill?

I'm curious as to what everyone thinks.

Thanks!

Stupid as it may be, I would assume (I am not sure, I haven't got the DH2 book in front of me, but it's how it used to work) that it works like the Force or Power fields - when turned off, it reverts to it's Primitive/Low-Tech equivalent.

So yeah, you probably need Low-Tech to use it.

This is because the Weapon Training/Proficiency-Talents are crap and despite several revisions, still contain key flaws like this.

Edit: Ah, I didn't notice this is in the Dark Heresy section, I thought it was in the Dark Heresy 2nd Ed. section. You should probably raise the question there to avoid confusion.

Oops, didn't realize there was one for the beta specifically. I'll repost over there
