Minor Manifestations
Examples of appropriate Minor Manifestations belonging to the Telekinesis Discipline are listed below

Float
The telekine focuses his concentration and slowly begins
to lift of the ground. The psyker can only move up and down
while under the effects of this minor power, and he cannot
rise higher than 5 meters.

Spectral Hands
By creating an invisible force, the psyker can manipulate
any object within 30 meters. The psyker can knock over
objects, push buttons, pull levers or do any number of other
small tasks requiring such force. The psyker cannot perform
any action that requires precision, such as typing on a data-
slate, pulling the pin from another creature's grenade, pull a
trigger, and so on. This power has no effect on living targets.

Twitch
The psyker causes a momentary inattention in another by
causing them to glance to one side, scratch an itch, or
similar distraction.

Sense Mechanism
By extending his vision into the Warp and perceiving the
shadows of the physical universe, the Telekine can sense
machinery and constructs within the area. This does not
grant him knowledge of their function, but simply their form
and location. The presence of living beings blocks the line of
sight beyond them, as they possess a far brighter presence
in the Warp than physical objects.

Psychokinesis Mastery (Talent)

Tier: 2
Prerequisite: Psyker, May not have any non-Telekinesis Discipline Powers.
Aptitudes: Psyker, Willpower
'Through the sheer force of his mind, he plucked the fuel tank from its couplings. We ran, and didn't look back.'

The psyker has focused on the arts of Telekinesis above all others. The psyker classes all the Focus Power test difficulty for
his powers within the Telekinesis Discipline as one degree easier (making a Challenging test into an Ordinary test, for example).
The psyker may only take powers from the Telekinesis Discipline, and may not have any non-Telekinesis powers when this
talent is purchased. Additionally, the Telekine replaces the Perils of the Warp table with Table: Telekinesis Perils of the Warp,
on page XXX. Should the psyker suffer Perils of the Warp while attempting to manifest a Telekinesis power, he must
immediately pass an Toughness Test or suffer 1 level of Fatigue as the energies barely contained and unleashed threaten to rip
the psyker with violent pressure from within, causing intense migraines, high blood pressure, and nosebleeds.

Telekinesis Discipline Powers
Basic Techniques
The following discipline powers form the basics of the
Telekinesis Discipline, as well as the basis of Neonates and
Aspirants training the Scholastica Psykana.
A psyker entering the Telekinesis Discipline may start his
progression with any of these powers.
Telekinetic Control
Value: 50 xp
Prerequisite: Willpower 35
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Routine (+20) Willpower test
Range: 10 meters x psy rating
Sustained: Half Action
Subtype: Concentration, Miscellaneous
Description: The telekine calls on his powers to reach out farther
than his flesh can extend, distorting reality to grasp objects with
eldritch hands. With invisible fingers perhaps only betrayed with
frosted rime or whispered breezes, few can notice his subtle
manipulations.
Effect: The psyker chooses an object in range and line of sight
with a weight no greater than 2 kg x Psy Rating. At the beginning of
each of his turns, he can move the object in any direction up to a
number of meters equal to twice his psy rating. If the object ever
leaves the range of the power, the power ends.
Mind Over Matter
Value: 100xp
Prerequisites: Willpower 35
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Willpower Test; Special - See Below
Range: 5 meters x Psy Rating
Sustained: Half Action
Subtype: Attack (if used to throw target), Concentration
Description: The basic talent of telekinesis is a versatile and
immensely useful tool in any psyker’s arsenal, a valuable means of
exerting his will upon his immediate surroundings. Human psykers,
whether sanctioned by the Imperium or lurking in the shadows
beneath so-called civilization, speak of reaching out with hands of
spectral presence, or imbuing objects with motion or inertia that
should otherwise not exist.
Effect: A psyker with this power may use it in one of three ways:
constant motion, rapid push or forceful throw. When using constant
motion, the Focus Power Test is Routine (+20), and the psyker
may move any object within range and line of sight that weighs no
more than 10kg x Psy Rating. Objects moved in this way can only
be moved too slowly to be used to attack, and when released the
object drifts slowly to the ground.
When using a rapid push, the Focus Power Test is Ordinary
(+10), and Opposed by a Strength Test from a single target
within range and line of sight. If the target fails the test, he is thrown
backwards Psy Rating meters, plus an additional meter for every
Degree of Success on the Focus Power Test. When using a
forceful throw, the Focus Power Test is Challenging (+0), and
allows the psyker to lift an object weighing no more than 5kg x Psy
Rating and thrown at an enemy within range, hitting them to deal
1d10 Impact Damage +1 for every 5kg of the object’s weight..
Fragment Image
Value: 50 xp
Prerequisite: Willpower 35
Action: Free Action
Focus Power: Ordinary (+10) Willpower test
Range: Self
Sustained: Half Action
Subtype: Concentration, Reaction
Description: By altering the air around the psyker, they are able to
distort the view any enemy may have of them, causing them to be
much harder to hit with ranged weapons.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Blessing, granting the psyker the
ability to distort his vision and impede upon an attacker's ranged
attacks. This power reduces the Ballistic Skill target for the attacker
attempting to harm the psyker by 5 x Psy Rating.
Telekinesis Control Techniques
This sub-discipline focuses on controlling and manipulating the
psyker's surroundings with more profound and refined displays of
their abilities. Telekines learning these techniques embrace vastly
differing ways of utilizing their wills, to forge weapons of invisible
energy or to defy the very laws of gravity itself.
Psychokinetic Domination Techniques
Most psykers are able to master the ability to manipulate and
move objects with their mind to some degree. Somewhat rarer,
however, are the true psychokinetics, psykers able to lift cargo-
eight haulers with a thought and hurl them at their enemies with a
gesture. This branch of Telekinesis Control Techniques focuses on
affecting living beings as if they were inanimate objects, turning
vaunted and fearsome foes into little more than playthings to the
psyker's desires.
Push
Value: 100 xp
Prerequisite: Willpower 35
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Opposed Willpower
Range: 10 meters x Psy rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: The psyker gathers a ball of telekinetic energy and
directs it against his target.
Effect: The psyker makes an Opposed Test, pitting his Willpower
against the target's Strength. If the psyker beats his opponent, his
target is knocked down to the ground counting as Prone. For every
two Degrees of Success, the Psyker also deals one level of Fatigue
to his target.
Synergy: If the Psyker also has the Twitch Minor Manifestation
power, he lowers the difficulty of this power by One Degree
(effectively granting the psyker a +10 to making the Opposed
Focus Power Test)
Assail
Value: 200 xp
Prerequisite: Willpower 40
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Ordinary (+10) Willpower test
Range: 20 meters x psy rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: The psyker reaches out with his mind to pluck up
whatever objects are available and hurl them at his target. If there
is nothing suitable nearby, the psyker can direct his mental
energies directly at his foe, pounding him with bolts of invisible
force.
Effect: This is a Psychic Bolt. If the psyker scores at least three
degrees of success on the Focus Power test for this attack, the
target is also thrown 1d5 meters away and knocked Prone. Certain
especially large targets such as battle tanks, Greater Daemons,
and Titans are immune to this effect at the Game Master’s
discretion. This power inflicts 1d10 + Psy Ra ting Impact Damage,
and has a Penetration of 2.
Fling
Value: 300 xp
Prerequisites: Willpower 40, Psy Rating 3
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Opposed Willpower Test
Range: 10 meters x Psy rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: The psyker can telekinetically lift a person from the
ground and fling them into the distance for horrifying results.
Effect: This Psychic Malediction is activated when the psyker
makes an Opposed Test, pitting his Willpower against the target's
Strength. If successful, The psyker picks up a nearby person
weighing 50 kilograms times the psyker’s Psy Rating or less with
his mind and flings him into the distance. If the target hits a solid
object in a horizontal path, he suffers 2d10 Impact Damage, plus
two points for every 20 kilograms of weight the target weighs. If the
target is flung into an open distance (or vertically), the target suffers
Falling Damage instead.
Tempest
Value: 500 xp
Prerequisite: Willpower 45
Action: Full Action
Focus Power: Opposed Willpower Test
Range: 25 meters x Psy Rating
Sustained: Full Action
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: The most powerful psychokinetics can agitate the
very air around them, creating swirling vortexes of wind and debris.
Though this power is arduous to maintain, the damage it can deal
is truly devastating. The psyker summons up what is essentially a
psychic storm. The psyker occupies the storm’s eye, and around
him, out to the limit of the power’s range, are high winds, freezing
temperatures, and possibly rain or even hail.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Maelstrom. Any unsecured objects
lighter than five kilograms are picked up and flung around by the
winds, and the swirling debris, rain, and dust reduce visibility to
1d10 meters (roll once when the power is manifested)—the
psyker’s vision is not affected. All Ballistic Skill Tests suffer a –20
penalty. Additionally, all those caught in the tempest must make a
Challenging (+0) Strength Test or only be able to take a Half
Action each round. During the psyker’s subsequent rounds, he may
spend a Half Action and make a Willpower Test to briefly focus his
thoughts on one specific area, sending a barrage of debris scything
through it. This shooting attack deals 1d10 damage to all targets
within 2 meters of a specific point, plus an additional 1d10 damage
per degree of success. This attack always strikes the targets’ Body
locations. For every round after the first that the psyker sustains
this power, he must make a successful Ordinary (+10)
Toughness Test or suffer one level of fatigue.
Psychokinetic Precision Techniques
This sub-branch of Telekinesis Control Techniques focuses on
using their abilities in refined ways to inflict harm upon the psyker's
enemies.
Precision Telekinesis
Value: 100 xp
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Opposed Willpower Test
Range: 5 meters x Psy Rating
Sustained: Free Action
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: Unlike the first gross manipulations of Telekinesis,
this allows the psyker to fine tune his ability until he can do
anything at range that he could do with his bare hands.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Manipulation. In any situation
where the task in question would require a Characteristic Test, the
psyker substitutes Willpower instead. The psyker’s Psy Rating
substitutes for his Strength Bonus when using this technique. At its
most basic, this power can pull the pins on grenades, press
buttons, jog triggers, undo latches and direct small projectiles to
deadly effect.
Synergy: If the psyker possesses the Spectral Hands Minor
Power, the range of the power is increased to 10 meters x Psy
Rating when manipulating small objects (such as grenade pins).
Crush
Value: 300 xp
Prerequisite: Willpower 45
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Challenging (+0) Opposed Willpower test
Range: 10 meters x psy rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: Rather than using his abilities to turn inanimate
objects into weapons, the telekine focuses directly on his enemy to
squeeze him in an invisible fist of power. Unless the target can
repel the psychokinetic assault, he is bludgeoned horridly. Even
should he survive, the overwhelming psychic force nonetheless
pins him in place under a tremendous weight.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Malediction. The psyker nominates
a single target in range and line of sight who opposes this power
with a Toughness test. If the target fails to resist the power, it
suffers 1d10+Psy Rating Impact Damage, with a Penetration value
of 2. This attack has the Snare (PR/2) special trait.
The psyker may also Grapple the opponent substituting his
Willpower bonus for his Strength bonus.
Death Grip
Value: 500 xp
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Challenging (+0) Opposed Willpower Test
Range: 5 meters x Psy Rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: Using the power of his mind, the psyker is able to
create a telekinetic grip on a living creature’s vital organs and
squeeze them. Needless to say, this can simply stun the target or
cause immediate death.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Malediction. The psyker makes an
Opposed Willpower Test against the target. If successful, he inflicts
1d10 Rending Damage with the Shocking Quality to the target, with
a bonus of +1 point of damage per Psy Rating. This damage is not
reduced for armor (unless warded) or Toughness Bonus.
Additionally, this power will only work on living beings and animals.
It will not work against daemons, non-living, or other denizens of
the warp.
Wall Walk
Value: 100 xp
Prerequisite: Agility 35
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Routine (+20) Willpower Test
Range: Self
Sustained: Free Action
Subtype: Concentration, Movement
Description: The psyker bends gravity to his will, and can walk on
walls or ceilings with ease.
Effects: This power is a Psychic Blessing that allows the psyker to
negate all penalties incurred by low- or high-gravity worlds. In
addition, the psyker can walk on walls or ceilings for as long as this
power is sustained. The psyker moves across such surfaces at half
his normal Movement rate. The psyker must also test Agility to go
between a wall and ceiling and vice versa, unless the psyker takes
a Full Action to ease himself onto the new surface.
Synergy: If the psyker possesses the Float Minor Power, he is no
longer required to test Agility when moving between Walls and
Ceilings, and vice versa.
Levitation
Value: 200xp
Prerequisite: Willpower 40
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Willpower Test; Special - See Below
Range: Self
Sustained: Free Action
Subtype: Concentration
Description: The psyker is able to call upon his telekinetic abilities
to be able to lift himself into the air. By the time a psyker learns this
power, he is able to maintain his delicate concentration to block
outside distractions and keep his focus on the task at hand.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Blessing. While this power remains
in effect, the psyker has either the Hoverer Trait or the Flier Trait
When using the Hoverer trait, the Focus Power Test is Ordinary
(+10), with a rating equal to his Psy Rating. When using the Flier
Trait, the Focus Power Test is Hard (-20), with a rating equal to
twice his Psy Rating.
The psyker can also use this power to lift objects or others into
the air as well. To determine how much weight the psyker can
levitate with this power, consult Table 7–26: Carrying, Lifting, &
Pushing, on page 248 of the Dark Heresy 2nd Edition Core
Rulebook. Instead of using the psyker’s Strength Bonus and
Toughness Bonus, use his Willpower Bonus and Intelligence
Bonus. The maximum lifting weight is the total amount of weight
the psyker can levitate—anything over that limit and the psyker is
unable to lift it.
Synergy: If the psyker possesses the Float Minor Power, he adds
his Willpower Bonus to the Hoverer Trait.
Defy Gravity
Value: 400xp
Prerequisites: Psy Rating 4
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Challenging (+0) Willpower Test
Focus Power Time: Half Action
Range: Self
Sustained: Half Action
Subtype: Concentration
Description: The psyker is able to gather together emotion and
mental strength, using powerful psychic energy to influence the
motion of objects and defy the laws of physics.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Maelstrom with a radius equal to
10 x the psyker's Psy Rating. This power reverses gravity in the
affected area, causing all unattached objects and creatures within
the area of effect to fall upward. Living creatures can resist the
effects of this power with an Opposed Strength Test. If some solid
object (such as a ceiling) is encountered in this fall, falling objects
and creatures strike it in the same manner as they would during a
normal downward fall - receiving Falling Damage as normal. If an
object or creature reaches the top of the area without striking
anything, it remains there, oscillating slightly, until the power ends.
At the end of this power's duration, affected objects and creatures
fall downward. Note - Creatures who can fly or levitate can keep
themselves from falling.
To determine how much weight the psyker can force to fall
upwards with each object and creature with this power, consult
Table 7–26: Carrying, Lifting, & Pushing, on page 248 of the
Dark Heresy 2nd Edition Core Rulebook. Instead of using the
psyker’s Strength Bonus and Toughness Bonus, use his Willpower
Bonus and Intelligence Bonus. The maximum lifting weight is the
total amount of weight of each object and creature within the area
of effect the psyker can levitate—anything over that limit and the
psyker is unable to lift it.
Psychokinetic Warp Techniques
This sub-branch of Telekinesis Control Techniques focuses on
using their abilities of Telekinesis to manipulate and harness the
powers of the warp itself to warp reality.
Space Slip
Value: 100xp
Prerequisite: Psyniscience
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Difficult (-10) Willpower Test
Range: Self
Sustained: No
Subtype: Concentration, Miscellaneous
Description: The telekine is able to push himself through the edge
of the warp, slipping out of reality for a brief instant and
reappearing in a different nearby location. A powerful trick, but
dangerous and unpredictable in its effect.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Manipulation. When this power is
activated, the psyker is immediately moved to a point 1d5 or
1d10+2 meters away (chosen before rolling) from his starting
location in a direction of his choice without regards to any
intervening matter. However, he may not bypass warded barriers,
void shields, Geller Fields, or the like.
If the use of this power means that the psyker would appear inside
solid matter, he must pass a further Challenging (+0) Toughness
Test. If this Test is successful, he is thrown backwards 1d5 meters
away from the offending object and is Stunned for 1d5 Rounds. If
this Test is failed, he is still hurled back and Stunned as previously
described, but also takes 1d10 Explosive Damage (Body Location),
which is not reduced by Toughness Bonus or Armor. If the solid
object encountered is another living thing, it too must pass a
Challenging (+0) Toughness Test or become Stunned.
Warp Jump
Value: 250xp
Prerequisite: Psyniscience +10
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Willpower Test; Special - See Below
Range: 10 meters x Psy Rating
Sustained: Half Action
Subtype: Concentration, Miscellaneous
Description: The psyker tears through the fabric of the warp,
manipulating the raw and malleable nature of the immaterium to
slip through reality with control and rapidity.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Manipulation. When this power is
activated, the psyker chooses a location within range and is
immediately moved to that point. If the location is within the psykers
visibility, the Focus Power Test is Ordinary (+10). If the desired
location is not visible, the Focus Power Test is Challenging (+0).
Gate of Infinity
Value: 400 xp
Prerequisite: Psy rating 5
Action: Extended Action (3)
Focus Power: Hard (–20) Willpower test
Range: 1 kilometers x psy rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Concentration
Description: Though it offers no physical attack, this power is
nonetheless one of the most dangerous uses of the Telekinesis
discipline. With it, the psyker tears open a hole in space so that he
might pass through the Warp. Others might refuse to pass through
the unreal pathway, however, fearful of any proximity to the
Immaterium and its terrible denizens.
Effect: The psyker chooses a point anywhere within 5 meters
times his psy rating, and opens a gate to the Immaterium at that
point. He then chooses a point within range of the power, and
opens an exit to the gate at that location. The psyker must be
aware of the location in which he is opening the exit to the gate,
either having visited it before, seen it from afar, or simply studied it
on a map. The gate lasts for a number of rounds equal to the
psyker’s psy rating, and has a radius in meters equal to the
psyker’s psy rating as well. For the duration of the power, the two
sides of the gate are linked, and any person or objects may pass
between them freely provided they can fit through the gate.
This power is incredibly taxing and requires at least 12 hours
of recovery before it may be used again.
Telekinetic Augmentation Techniques
This sub-branch of Telekinesis Control Techniques focuses on
enhancing the psykers combat abilities by augmenting his own
reactions and strength, turning his own body into a superhuman
weapon. Shaping the force of the psyker's mind into a weapon,
these techniques are powerful manifestations of the psyker's
discipline and control.
Telekinetic Weapon
Value: 200 xp
Prerequisites: Weapon Skill 35
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Difficult (–10) Willpower Test
Range: Self
Sustained: Free Action
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: The psyker’s mind cuts deeper than any mortal
blade, manifesting as an impossibly sharp blade of psychic force
that shears through flesh and armor with contemptuous ease.
Effect: While this power remains in effect, the psyker bears a
sword of telekinetic force, which imposes no penalty for lacking the
required Weapon Training Talent. The psyker may use the
Telekinetic Weapon as he would any other melee weapon, and the
blade may be parried, though it cannot be destroyed by weapons
with the Power Field quality. The weapon deals 1d10 plus Psy
Rating Rending Damage with a Pen equal to the psyker’s Psy
Rating. This is further modified by the wielder’s Strength Bonus as
normal for a melee weapon.
Catch Projectiles
Value: 150 xp
Action: Reaction
Focus Power: Challenging (+0) Willpower Test
Range: Self
Sustained: No
Subtype: Concentration, Reaction
Description: The psyker uses his telekinetic abilities to ward away,
deflect and catch incoming projectiles.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Blessing. This power only works
against solid projectile weapons and has no effect on energy
weapons of any sort. If the Focus Power Test is successful, the
psyker automatically discounts a number of hits from incoming
missiles equal to his Psy Rating, causing them to immediately stop
and hang in the air. When this power ends, they fall harmlessly to
the ground.
Entangle
Value: 200 xp
Prerequisites: Ballistic Skill 35
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Hard (–20) Willpower Test
Range: 5m x Psy Rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: The psyker traps his target in aetheric filaments,
bringing him down to the ground and pinning him there for easy
capture.
Effect: The psyker reaches out with bands of ensnaring force that
bind and hinder his enemies. This is a Psychic Bolt which deals
2d10 + Psy Rating Impact Damage with the Crippling (2) and
Snare qualities.
Force Shards
Value: 400 xp
Prerequisite: Psy Rating 4
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Challenging (+0) Willpower test
Range: 5 meter x Psy Rating
Sustained: No
Subtype: Concentration
Description: This technique is an elegant manifestation of the
psyker’s killing will in the form of multiple hovering blades of
destructive force, visible as hazy distortions in the air.
Effect: When activated, the psyker brings a number of force
shards into existence equal to his Willpower Bonus. The force
shards hover around the psyker, acting as a potential barrier to
incoming attacks. Any opponent attacking the psyker when he has
one or more force shards orbiting suffers a –10 to Weapon Skill or
Ballistic Skill tests. The force shards can be launched singly or as a
group at ranged targets. The psyker makes a Ballistic Skill Test to
hit the target, and deals 1d10 Rending Damage with a bonus of +1
Damage per Psy Rating. For every Degree of Success, the psyker
hits his target with an additional force shard, up to the total amount
of shards generated by this technique. Additionally, the force
shards have a Penetration value equal to the Psy Rating used in
the technique.
Warrior Telekine
Value: 500xp
Prerequisites: Psy Rating 5
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Hard (–20) Willpower Test
Range: Self
Sustained: Free Action
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: A warrior Telekine can use his telekinesis to leap
higher, hit harder and manipulate weapons more easily, as well as
using telekinesis to wield small weapons like knives, rocks and
sticks alongside the weapons at hand.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Blessing. While this power remains
in effect, the psyker is able to augment his own physical abilities to
superhuman abilities. Each round this power is manifested the
psyker chooses either Strength, Toughness, or Agility. Whichever
characteristic is chosen gains the Unnatural (PR/2) trait.
Additionally, for each point of Willpower Bonus, the Telekine may
make an additional attack with a Low-Tech Weapon that is wielded
by the power of his intense focus.
While under the effects of this power, the Psyker doubles his
Carrying, Lifting, & Pushing limits, as well as the distance he is
able to Jump and Leap.
Telekinesis Force Techniques
This sub-discipline focuses on harnessing the powers of the
mind in its purest forms. Psykers learning these techniques are
some of the most combat proficient Telekines. By using the force of
their own will to assault their enemies, or protect their allies from
incoming danger, these Telekines are highly valued by both the
Scholastica Psykana and the Astra Militarum for their versatility.
Psychokinetic Defense Techniques
While most Telekines are known for their ability to manipulate
their environments with the power of their own thoughts, a select
few learn how to focus their minds to form impregnable mental
wards.
Telekine Shield
Value: 200 xp
Prerequisite: Intelligence 40
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Routine (+20) Willpower test
Range: Self
Sustained: Free Action
Subtype: Concentration
Description: Using the energy of the Warp, the psyker erects a
wall of tangible force that moves with him. The shimmering barrier
stops bullets and deflects blades, but as more and more kinetic
energy is directed at him, the psyker’s mental shield wears down.
Effect: For the duration of the power, all of the psyker’s Hit
Locations count as being protected by cover with an Armor Value
equal to half this power’s psy rating. This shield can be damaged
just like normal cover by damage that exceeds the shield’s Armor
Value. If the shield is reduced to 0 Armor points, the power stops,
and is no longer sustained.
Telekine Dome
Value: 300 xp
Prerequisite: Psy rating 4
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Challenging (+0) Willpower test
Range: 5 meters x psy rating
Sustained: Free Action
Subtype: Concentration
Description: The psyker shields himself and nearby allies with a
dome of mental force, large enough to surround his group and
protect them from harm. The protective shield deflects bullets and
lasblasts, sending them ricocheting in all directions.
Effect: The psyker chooses a point in range and line of sight, and
creates a dome of invisible energy centered on that point with a
radius equal to half the psyker’s psy rating, rounded up. Each ally
(including the psyker, potentially) standing inside the dome gains a
number of Armor points equal to the psy rating to all Hit Locations
against any attack that originated outside of the dome’s radius.
However, characters may still physically pass through the dome at
no penalty.
Telekine Barrier
Value: 500 xp
Prerequisite: Psy Rating 4
Action: Full Action
Focus Power: Routine (+20) Willpower test
Range: Self
Sustained: Free Action
Subtype: Concentration
Description: The psyker's mind is so agile he is able to erect a
field of telekinetic energy about himself and his allies that swat
aside projectiles harmlessly away from himself and his allies. The
shield itself vibrates with each impact, producing a gentle shimmer
in the air.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Blessing. The field generated by
the psyker functions as a Force Field, with a Rating equal to 10 x
the psyker's Psy Rating and a radius of 5 meters x Willpower
Bonus. This field is completely immune to damage from Primitive
and Solid Projectile weaponry (or any other weapons that rely
solely on solid projectiles to deal damage; needle weapons or
webbers would be two examples). This shield does not block line of
sight. The defense provided by this power will also work against
attacks with the Warp Weapon quality
Psychokinetic Assault Techniques
One of the most direct use of Telekinesis is to manifest bolts
of pure mental energy. Telekines often demonstrate these raw
abilities in weaker forms before their formal training

The psyker may also use the spikes to block line of sight, block

Psychokinetic Impact Techniques
Particularly strong psykers in the arts of Telekinesis learn how
to channel their aggression into impossibly strong impact waves.
While considered blunt and raw manifestations of the discipline,
these techniques are nonetheless some of the most powerful a
Telekine can master.
Shockwave

considerable power to amplify the noise exponentially, creating a
torrential shockwave. The energy batters any unfortunate enough
to be nearby, throwing them away from the psyker in a barrage of
force.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Blast centered on the psyker with a
radius equal to the psyker’s Psy Rating. Any creature within the
area of effect, with the exception of the psyker, suffers 1d10 + Psy

enemies in a savage storm of psychic fury.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Maelstrom. Any creature within the
area of effect, with the exception of the psyker, suffers 2d10+ 2
Damage per Psy Rating. Any target that suffers damage must also
make an Opposed Strength Test or b e pushed directly away from
the Psyker a number of meters equal to the psyker's Psy Rating.
Vortex of Doom
Value: 400xp
Prerequisites: Psy Rating 5
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Difficult (–10) Willpower Test
Range: 5 meters x Psy Rating
Sustained: Half Action
Subtype: Attack, Concentration
Description: Playing with impossible energies of the immaterium,
the psyker uses his power to punch a hole in reality, opening a tear
to the Warp. Roiling energies pour into reality, tearing apart
anything unlucky enough to be close to the unstable rift. The
psyker struggles to keep the volatile torrent of energy in check,
pouring all his energy into constraining the vortex, lest it break out
of control and cause untold destruction.
Effect: The psyker chooses a point in range and line of sight, and
creates a vortex of energy centered on that point that starts with a
radius of 2 meters. Anyone who is touching the vortex at the end of
the psyker’s Turn must take 2d10 Energy Damage, +2 per point of
Psy Rating, with a Pen equal to the vortex’s current radius in
meters. The psyker may not voluntarily stop sustaining this power.
Instead, at the beginning of each Turn the Psyker is sustaining the
vortex, he must take a Challenging (+0) Willpower Test with a –5
penalty for each meter in the vortex’s current radius. If he passes
the Test he may perform one of the following actions:
 Increase the vortex's radius by one meter
 Decrease the vortex's radius by one meter.
 Move the vortex any direction a number of meters equal
to the psyker's Psy Rating.
If the psyker fails the Willpower Test to sustain the vortex, or if
he is unable to make the Test due to other circumstances, its
radius increases by one meter and it moves a number of meters
equal to the psyker’s Psy Rating in a random direction (see the
Scatter Diagram on page 255). If the vortex’s radius ever
decreases to zero meters, the power ends and the vortex
disappears. If the vortex’s radius ever grows larger than the
psyker’s Psy Rating, it explodes, ending the power, destroying the
vortex, and dealing 2d10 Energy Damage, +4 per point of Psy
Rating, with a Pen equal to the vortex’s current radius is meters, to
anyone with a number of meters of the centre of the vortex equal to
twice the Psy Rating of the psyker. The psyker is hit by this
Damage regardless of his proximity to the exploding vortex as the
energy of the Warp he was channeling lashes back into him.
Telekinesis Technopath Techniques
This sub-discipline focuses on certain Telekines natural ability
to manipulate and tamper with mechanical, electrical and electronic
systems. Most often associated with the machina-mentors of the
Adeptus Mechanicus, these Telekines are both feared and valued
for their abilities to influence the holy machine spirits to perform the
psyker's bidding.
Technopathic Resonance Techniques
Telekines who learn how to integrate, support, and honor the
machine spirits with their techniques are highly valued by the
Adeptus Mechanicus. Their affinity and respect is shown through
their non-disruptive uses of their power.

Effect: This power is a Psychic Manipulation. While active, any
Tests made to detect the psyker's presence, as well as that of
anyone within range of him, using either psychic or technological
means (including Psyniscience), count as Hard (-20). If the means
of detection would not normally require a Test, the user must make
an Ordinary (+10) Willpower Test if they are using psychic means,
or an Ordinary (+10) Intelligence Test if they are using
technological means.

Value: 200xp Value: 800xp

Prerequisites: Intelligence 40
Action: Half Action
Focus Power: Special - Ordinary (+10) Willpower Test
Range: Touch
Sustained: No
Subtype: Concentration
Description: The Telekine is able to manipulate machines with
ease, naturally knowing how to activate and utilize the full
capabilities of the holy machine without need of technical
understanding.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Manipulation that allows the psyker
to instinctively operate any machine, weapon, or device of a
technological nature. This power can be used to open or lock
mechanical doors, operate machinery and fire emplaced weapons,
and so on, at the Gamemaster's discretion. Effectively this power
replaces the need for a Tech-Use Skill Test, even when dealing
with machines of alien origin. The more complex the activity
attempted, the greater the difficulty modifier the GM should impose
on the Focus Power Test.
Techsorcism
Prerequisites: Psy Rating 5
Action: Full Action
Focus Power: Hard (-20) Opposed Willpower Test
Range: Touch
Sustained: Full Action
Subtype: Concentration
Description: The Telekine is able to fully integrate with the
machine spirit of a complex machine - such as an Imperial Titan.
The psyker risks much in the process, but in an act of dominance
he can bend such battle machines to his will.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Manipulation that allows the psyker
to integrate, commune, and dominate the machine spirit of complex
machines. If this power is successful, the Psyker is able to
dominate and control the machine spirit of the machine. However, if
he fails he is rejected from the communion and suffers 1d10+ Psy
Rating in temporary Willpower Damage that persists for 1d10 days.
He may not attempt to commune with the Machine Spirit again for
24 hours. If the psyker fails by 5 Degrees of Failures or more, his
soul is psychically ripped from his body and becomes subsumed
into the machine forever (effectively killing the character).

Value: 200xp
Prerequisites: Psy Rating 3
Action: Full Action
Focus Power: Opposed Willpower Test
Range: Touch
Sustained: Half Action
Subtype: Concentration
Description: The Telekine rests his hands upon a tainted or
corrupted machine, infusing and coaxing the machine spirit with
energy to cast out the baleful influences and daemonic domination.
Effect: This power is a Psychic Manipulation that allows the psyker
to banish a daemonic or malicious presence (such as scrap-code
or schismatically) from a machine or implant. A Daemon or
malicious presence targeted by this power must take an immediate
Opposed Will Power test. A failure means it takes D10 damage.
For every Degree of Failure, it takes an additional D5 damage. If
the target takes damage in excess of its wounds, or rolls more than
twice what it needed to succeed on the W ill Power roll, it is
banished back to the Warp or otherwise excised from the machine.
Note: This power has no effect on large machines such as
corrupted battle tanks, possessed Titans, or daemonic engines -
such constructs are simply far too complex for the psyker to excise
or are by nature too infused with daemonic energy.

Table: Telekinesis Perils of the Warp
1D100 Effect
01-05 Haunting Breeze: A light wind whips within 3d10 meters around the around the psyker, hurling light objects such as
leaves and sheets of paper into the air and causing the clothes and hair of everyone around him to billow dramatically.
06-09 The Earth Protests: The ground beneath the psyker’s feet grows quarrelsome, rattling all who have the audacity to
stand up on it. Each character within 2d10 meters (including the psyker) must make a +20 Agility test or be
Immobilized for 1 round.
10-13 Warp Tempo: Time around the psyker begins fluctuating inconsistently, stagnating in some places and accelerating in
others. Each character within 1d10+5 meters (including the psyker) must make a –10 Intelligence test to adjust to the
unnatural pace. Each character who succeeds gains a +30 bonus to Evasion tests for the next 1d5 rounds.
14-18 Spatial Lurch: The world seems to stretch for a several seconds as if made of an elastic substance before hurling
individuals and unsecured objects into new locations at a dizzying velocity. Each character within 1d10 meters
(including the psyker) is hurled 3d10 meters in a randomly chosen horizontal direction (see the Scatter Diagram).
19-24 Falling Upwards: Gravity lapses, and people and objects tumble skyward. Each character within 2d10 meters
(including the psyker) is immediately hurled 1d5 meters into the air before crashing back to earth with a crunch.
25-30 Mind Maze: Until the end of the encounter, the psyker’s imagined mindscape spills over into reality, and walls of force
solidify in the 2d10 meters around him. The psyker suffers 2 fatigue. Until the end of the encounter, this area counts as
difficult terrain (see page 204) and provides 2 APs of cover to anyone within.
31-38 Shearing Thoughts: Invisible blades hack into anyone near the psyker, slicing apart bodies as he looks on in horror
(or possibly manic glee). Each other character within 1d10+5 meters of the psyker suffers 1d10 rending damage to a
randomly selected location that ignores armor. The psyker suffers 2 Corruption for each character he wounds this way.
39-46 Tech Scorn: With a crackle of static, the psyker’s mental disruption causes all machine-spirits to flee the area.
Complex machines within 3d10 meters shut down and become Damaged. Each character with one or more cybernetic
replacements or implants suffers 1d10+5 energy damage to the body location that ignores armor. Ranged weapons in
the area become Jammed.
47-55 Psychic Mirror: The psyker’s power twists, mercilessly assailing him instead of his intended target. Its effects resolve
as normal, but target the psyker himself instead of his original target. If the power is beneficial, it inflicts 1d10+5 energy
damage to a randomly chosen location that ignores armor instead of granting its normal effect.
56-58 The Furies: The psyker’s unchecked emotions roil into existence in the form of a clawed hand that grasps a randomly
chosen being within 1d10 meters of the psyker (potentially including the psyker) and slams it against the ground. The
target suffers 2d10 impact damage to the head location with the Concussive (2) quality. If the psyker is not the target,
he suffers 1d10 Corruption.
59-67 Banshee Shriek: The psyker looses an unearthly wail that cracks mirrors, pierces eardrums, and chills the soul. Each
other character within 4d10 meters must make a –30 Toughness test or be Deafened for 1d5 rounds and suffer 1d5
fatigue.
68-72 Ethereal Storm: Bolts of mind-force fly from the psyker’s head. Each other character within 2d10+5 suffers 1d10+5
Impact damage to the body location and is knocked Prone. The psyker suffers 1d5 Corruption for each character he
wounds this way.
73-78 Forceful Impact: A randomly selected large object in the area (or a chunk of a large object) hurls high into the air;
1d10 rounds later, the object lands 2d10 meters in a randomly selected direction (see page 204) from where it was
originally launched, inflicting 2d10+5 Impact damage to a randomly selected location of each character caught beneath
it.
79-82 Shadow Killer: The psyker’s shadow wells up, rising off the ground into an orb of darkness that cracks like an egg. An
eerily familiar figure slides forth from the oozing umbra, screaming curses upon the psyker for some unidentified
misdeed or betrayal. The shadow has the profile of one randomly chosen character within 4d10 meters of the psyker
(potentially including the psyker himself) and takes its turn immediately after the psyker, making every effort to kill him.
The figure vanishes after 1d10+2 rounds or when slain; if it kills the psyker, it gloats over his corpse for the remainder
of its time.
83-86 Chronological Incontinence: Inky hands reach through a seam in reality, grabbing a randomly chosen character
(potentially including the psyker) within 4d10 meters and pulling into a prison of time outside of reality for 1d10 rounds.
When he returns, he has aged 1d10 years, suffers 1d10 Corruption, and remembers being somewhere that he
steadfastly refuses to discuss.
87-90 Mass Reflection: The psyker attempts to stammer out a word of warning as he feels his power rebel. Bolts of energy
fly from his mind, striking everyone except the individual he intended to affect. The power’s effects resolve as normal,
but affects all targets within 2d10 meters of the psyker (including himself) except for his original target. If the power is
beneficial, it deals 1d10+5 Energy damage to a randomly chosen location that ignores armor instead of granting its
normal effect.
91-95 Gravity Unbound: The bonds of earth are severed with a jolt, and gravity within 1d100 meters reverses for 1d10
rounds. All creatures and unattended objects lift off the ground at a rate of 5 meters per round. At the end of this time,
reality reasserts itself and everything comes crashing down. Characters who fall this way suffer falling damage as
normal (see page 204).
95-99 Brain Lightning: A blast of psychic energy rips its way out of the psyker’s skull. The psyker is Stunned for 1d10
rounds and suffers Intelligence Decay (2d10). The nearest character within 30 meters must make a –30 Willpower test
or suffer a wound to the head location with an energy effect of 2d10+5. If a character fails this test, the psychic arc
continues on to the next character within 30 meters who has not already suffered the attack.
00 Warp Rift: A point of fathomless darkness appears in the psyker’s forehead, rapidly expanding until it opens into a full-
fledged portal to the Immaterium. The psyker is Stunned for 1d10 rounds. Until the rift is closed (almost invariably
through the psyker’s death), 2d10 Chaos Furies (see page 306) or other appropriate Daemons rip their way into reality
via his mental causeway at the beginning of each of his turns and set about wreaking destruction on anyone nearby.
