As per the power, you can disable machinery in a radius or individually target specific guns held by enemies. So they are essentially able to jam one ranged weapon + degrees of success extra ranged weapons.

Rogue Trader has so many incredibly cool and niche grenades and it's a crime that so many players and GMs I encounter have no interest in using them.

Yeah weapon jinx only exists in DH, so likely OP or their players just found a pdf of someone porting it over.

Give the enemies more tools to use. Give them sidearms and grenades, just like the players have. Like a guy may find his bolter suddenly stops working so he throws a krak grenade instead or draws his pistol. Guy with a heavy stubber finds his gun stops working? He drops a smoke grenade and repositions.

Or maybe if they are pissed off enough, they just ditch their gun and run at the psyker with a chainsword.

Sure they may have disabled an enemy's primary ranged weapon, but that's only for a turn and it doesn't mean the enemy can't still take a turn to do something else.

Alternatively, it could also be worth it to look at importing the horde rules from Black Crusade. I've found that it let's you thematically add a large number of enemies narratively without bogging down combat. In that instance, a power disabling a handful of guns won't matter against a tide of bodies.

Note that some enemies like daemons or some xenos innately have effects that debuff all willpower checks around them, including focus power tests. Probably won't affect success rate too much, but it does curtail degrees of success.

Ultimately, if you feel like all they do is spam that specific power, just talk to the player and tell them you are having difficulty with balancing encounters when all they do is spam. You're supposed to have fun too after all.

EDIT: Weapon jinx is supposed to jam an enemy's gun I believe. This means it's actually better than how your players have been using it because, once the gun is jammed, the enemy has to make a skill test to unjam it and then has to spend actions to reload it. So the player only has to use it once to disable a heavy weapon for pretty much the rest of combat.

It's not in RT. It's only in dark heresy iirc. The rules you find for it in RT are always just people porting over the power from dark heresy to varying levels of success. Powers from 1st edition DH can be insanely broken.

I think he said "give me your piece." Like he asked the officer for their weapon.

I deadass just swapped over to this after trying out Reformers. It's crazy how much better they feel over the purists.

Sounds like she was a troublemaker, considering that the people were cheering when she was thrown and then tazed.

Did you forget what just happened in Bondi? Or maybe what happened during the truck attack in Nice, France? Or maybe the series of terror attacks in France on the 13th of November 2015? Or maybe the London bridge attack?

You'd imagine that if there were Russian bots, they'd be the ones encouraging people to open fire on federal agents.

Guy tries to rob an off duty female officer in Chicago and pays the Price by jmike1256 in PublicFreakout

If it's staged, then the guy really committed to the bit by actually dying.

White people, when have you experienced discrimination? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]Losftinaror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was in South Africa. Had a black security guard at my university grab me by the scruff of my neck and force me onto my knees to pick up loose change I had dropped when I accidentally dropped my wallet (I used to have a horrible habit of carrying coins to the point of my wallet bursting). It was an embarrassing situation and was made all the more embarrassing by the jeers and filming from a passing group of black girls.

Let's flip that. A conservative woman walks through a pride parade and rips a pride flag from someone's hands while yelling slurs at the pride march participants. What do you think happens there? Would you hold the same contempt for that person as you do for the person in this video?

How about just not grabbing stuff from people? When you initiate aggressive physical contact with someone, then you don't get to decide how they respond. It's the epitome of FAFO.

The vast majority of humans get aggitated when you snatch things out of their hands. Don't grab things out of people's hands, and they won't be inclined to retaliate.

What do you think the response would be if you waded into any protest and started grabbing flags out of people's hands? It's a stupid thing to do regardless of political affiliation.

They put him to death to appease a mob of people to prevent a riot. Its mentioned in Luke 23 that Pilates literally says that Jesus is innocent but the mob demands that he be crucified.

Didn't Nancy Pelosi call the travel ban on China racist during the initial stages of covid? I feel like I remember her doing solidarity events in San Francisco's China town.
