Been awhile since I last hit Ja2.

I was a GM for a WH40k tabletop RPG group before, going to have so much fun with this!

Well, and it froze up before I could get to my first save.

r6331, SCI 6615, as per your most recent installation instructions.

It's okay. It just means I can't Ironman; half the games it plays for a bit without a huge problem.

MASS COMMISSAR!!!!111

I just had a squad of Commissars chain multiple battlespeeches while charging into battle.

DUDE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

Also, blanks are supposed to be Immune to Psykers and Warp-related phenomena, not just deal damage to them.

Just wait till you get a couple of fully-equipped battle sisters Very Happy

True about blanks and warp-effects. This will be hard to do for some effects though, like Warp Rift - I use explosion effects there. I can easily negate any damage received, but stopping a blank from falling over is hard.

Sigh, I really need time to mod on this again.

I equipped a Soritas with a full set of power armor, but she got hit quite a few times and took a bunch of damage.

Of course, I'm playing on insane difficulty.

Psykers are terrifyingly useful, but the cost of their abilities and the fact taking 2 ranks to reduce the cost (which is necessary if you plan on having your psyker do more than 1-2 things per battle) takes out another specialization/trait makes them far less crucial than having a squad of commissars.

If I bring 8 commissars (I'd feel like a cheater, actually) this is going to be absolutely dumb- each battlespeech grants all allies 40 AP, except for himself, basically, I can cast battlespeech 8 times in a row (with a long cooldown after, but still), granting 7 other commissars 40 AP each for a grand total of 2240 AP.

Thats some insane burst potential... Screw Stormtroopers, Inquisitors should just recruit Commissars.

True, though these AP will be lost next turn. Still, I didn't have that method in mind Smile

Not sure wether there is an AP limit in place here, but one would be needed I guess... an easier way would be to change the mechanic so that one can only benefit from one speech per turn, which would somewhat ease this.

They are capped at 100 AP max, but its simple; have all your commissars spend most of their AP, except 1 who will inspire the rest. Then he shoots an enemy as well, and the rest of your commissars shoot, leaving 1 to inspire again, then he shoots as well; repeat until all battlespeeches used.

I just had 4 commissars charge into 16 opponents and kill 12 of them, and critically injuring another 3... in a single round.

IT WAS GLORIOUS. HIS ENEMIES WERE CLEANSED THIS DAY.

If you nerf it, I think the only-1-speech-per-turn is pretty reasonable, but I won't have GLORIOUS CHARGES anymore.
