## Psychic Powers

Glory of the Emperor: Half, 10m x PR

* For the briefest of instants the Librarian channels the light of the Emperor, bathing all those nearby in His glory. The Librarian may affect a number of allies equal to his PR within line of sight and range of this power. Those affected are healed by the divine light and will recover Wounds equal to the Librarian’s PR. This healing cannot restore Critical Damage, nor will it take a creature above its starting Wound total. Channelling this power is difficult and draining, and a Librarian may only use it a number of times each day (within a 24 hour period) equal to his Willpower Bonus.

Inspire: Half, 5, x PR

* The psyker can bolster his comrades by sending out waves of reassurance and calm. A number of targets equal to the psyker’s PR immediately overcome the effects of Pinning and gain a +10 resistance against Fear. This effect lasts as long as the targets stay within range of the psyker, and the psyker maintains the power.

Iron Arm: Half or Reaction, Self

* The Librarian sheathes his arm in an impenetrable field of energy with the power to ward off powerful melee attacks. While this power is in effect, the Librarian gains one additional Reaction each round that may only be used to parry, with a bonus on the Weapon Skill Test to parry equal to 3 x PR. Note that this power prevents the Librarian from using his arm for any other purpose, such as wielding a weapon, climbing, and so on.

Smite: Half, 10m x PR

* The Librarian conjurers up lethal bolts of lightning that leap from his hands to burn and blast his enemies into ash. Smite must be targeted at a single creature. However, it may effect others nearby depending on its power. The Librarian does not need to make a BS test to hit the target. However, his Focus Power Test is modified as if he was making a ranged attack (using bonuses and penalties for range, lighting, enemy talents, etc.). Smite deals 1d10 Energy Damage x PR with a Penetration equal to his PR. Any creatures within 1 metre x PR of the target will also be affected by Smite.

War Cry: Half, Opposed, 5m x PR

* With a terrifying cry, the Librarian demoralises and stuns nearby foes, forcing them to cower before his might. This power can affect a number of foes equal to the Librarian’s PR. Those affected cannot use Reactions from the end of the Librarian’s turn to the start of his next turn.

Word of the Emperor: Full, Opposed, 10m x PR

* The Librarian recites a sanctified prayer to the Emperor, speaking holy words that burn the minds of the unfaithful and cast out the spirits of the Warp. This power can affect a number of targets equal to the Librarian’s PR. Those affected will become Stunned (see page 261) for one Round. Targets with the Daemonic Trait are affected much more seriously by this power and will suffer 1d10 Explosive damage x PR and must make a Warp Instability Test. Finally, creatures targeted by this power suffering from Possession (see page 134) may immediately make a Challenging (+0) Willpower Test to break free.
