Creation of a Psychic Powers page (Warhammer 40k)

[AbaddonTheDisappointment]

So, this is a continuation of a previous thread made by Reaper which I didn't want to add this to since it's been like over a month and I didn't want to dabble in necromancy. Anyways, this is to ensure that most of the major powers psykers have can be categorized on a separate page without adding a ton of clutter or tabbers. Individual potency for powers shown or specific scaled powers that not all psykers have shown that don't fit neatly into a single discipline would be specifically stated on their profiles but general powers that those psykers would have access to would be on the page. Said psyker powers are on this sandbox:

AbaddonTheDisappointment/Psykers

vsbattles.fandom.com

The page would be called, as the title of the CRT implies, Psychic Powers.

The pages effected would be:

I watch you. I see the hatred in your eyes, well hidden behind courtly graces. I listen. I know the terrible darkness that hides behind your well-rehearsed lies. I wait for you at the edge of sanity. I taste the pain in your mind, the yearning to end this charade. I make my home in the darkest...

vsbattles.fandom.com

The newer pages already have the disciplines listed that they would have (namely Voldus and Kairos Fateweaver). Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Hive Mind, and Gork and Mork would get the minor powers, major disciplines, and their respective disciplines/powers depending on who they are as they're major psychic entities in the Warp and as such would have access to those abilities that most psykers have access to. Synapse creatures, Doom of Malan'tai, and the Swarmlord would get common powers, minor powers, and the Hive Mind discipline as those are the powers basically anyone has and Hive Mind discipline pertains specifically to them. All of them would also have "resistance to psychic powers" added to them as psykers can resist the powers of other psykers and this would replace the giant block of resistances that some of these pages have.

There are other pages that would be effected by this, however those pages are mostly outdated and will be updated in time when that time comes, namely the Imperium/Chaos-related pages. Those will have their own dedicated CRTs with the psyker page already as a part of the profile.

Obviously agree. Fantastic work on all the sourcing and links, lad.

 

[Kingofwolves999]

Warhammer updates make me happy

 

[PsychoWarper]

Imma be honest I thought this had already been done lol, obviously agree nice work Abby.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Nice work, I think the page is great.

For minor corrections I only see these two:

Sound Manipulation (The psyker can create a deafening bang[9](Psykers can create a deafening screech which drowns out all sound[10])

There's a middle [ ( ] that needs to be removed

Soul Manipulation (Psykers can burn away the souls of others)[

While I believe the power is correct, the image to support the power does not feature the fire killing someone else's soul. Just that it's fueled by the caster's soul. I would say just include this one and the next part in an Imgur album or something

Fixed both. For soul manipulation specifically I just added the other part where it says it burns away warp entities and other immaterial creatures who are effectively made of soul stuff. I think I mostly based that one on the fact it burns in both the materium and warp so it should effectively burn the soul as well.

 

[AbaddonTheDisappointment]

Bump

 

[Crabwhale]

You've got two admins on this, I think it can pass.

Well then now I just gotta wait another day then since Yknow 2 day wait

 

[Eseseso]

HOLY CRAP, nice sandbox! Easy agree!

Heck of a lot better than my Marvel Magic sandbox is, for sure.

 

[AbaddonTheDisappointment]

Welp since it's been two days I'm going to start implementing all of this

 

[PsychoWarper]

Peak

 

[AbaddonTheDisappointment]

And with that I should be done updating those pages

 

[Qawsedf234]

I just realized, Psychic Power is a bit of a vague name here. Should we add some modifier to it so it's just 40k specific?

Should we just have it so it's Psychic Powers (Warhammer 40,000)?

 

[Qawsedf234]

Should we just have it so it's Psychic Powers (Warhammer 40,000)?

I think so, since it's a generic name like RWBY'S aura or the five different Demon physiology pages we have.

Space Marine physiology for example is a franchise specific thing that probably doesn't need an identifier, but Ork Physiology probably would.

Got it. Would you be able to unlock the profiles above then so I could change it?

 

[Qawsedf234]

Got it. Would you be able to unlock the profiles above then so I could change it?

I've changed the name of the page, just tell me which ones need to be unlocked. Or is ot just everything barring the 8-C people.

Actually I think it just links automatically. If we still need to change it so it doesn't become an issue in the future, it's all the pages besides Voldus, Swarmlord, and Doom of Malan'tai
