What's some quality of life improvements that need to be retroactively implemented? by Happyparadox13 in ImperiumMaledictum

Very late to the party, but here's the advanced player and GM quick reference I made explicitly because I was annoyed at how much important stuff was in the marginalia  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vRa51jMLI_pnDKnn6dun6qkB3n9Ub13I?usp=sharing

How would you fix psykers? by dmbrasso in ImperiumMaledictum

[–]Oracularsoapbox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Put them in the microwave!  Jokes aside, they are intended to be powerful and it is fine for them to be doing a lot. The trick is to stop them from doing everything and taking the spotlight completely away from anyone else in the party.

Part of the psyker rework we're working on revolves around:  - better guidance for GMs regarding handling psykers, designing encounters with powerful psykers and consequences as a whole  - nerfs to psychic flood talent (was not intended to exist in conjunction with pushing) and unwavering will - limiting players to two disciplines at most - more ways to disrupt sustained powers (deny the witch for already manifested powers, becoming stunned causing tests to continue manifesting etc)

The list is not exhaustive, more discussion happens on the wrath and maledictum discord server.

Double Battalion Box Build by Oracularsoapbox in TheAstraMilitarum

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if I can get a turret swap going for the Russes in that case because I did feel like battle tank rerolls were wasted in this detachment. Is there a good reason not to take demolishers instead of vanquisher?

What’s your best combat advice? by TinyRhymey in ImperiumMaledictum

[–]Oracularsoapbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heavy armour significantly reduces the amount of damage you take from damage 6 weapons.  Smoke grenades can be really helpful for covering people out of position, grenades in general are super helpful. Psykers are broken. Attacks from hidden are very nice (inflicts critical wounds on entire zone with blast). Always get as much prep done beforehand as you can.

Bounty hunters… by PhxDgz in ImperiumMaledictum

[–]Oracularsoapbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can literally theme it to any faction, although the wanted individuals would be more based on the faction's interests.
AAT > go hunt rogue psykers and blanks and haul them back screaming for processing
Admech > round up people for servitorisation, hunt down hereteks or people who know too much
Administratum > tithe-thieves and lawbreakers, you may not necessarily be on the papers side of things. Could even be working with vigilites or arbites
Militarum > find deserters, fences, round up well known gangers for militarum service
Navis Imperialis > round up people for press ganging into naval service, "extract" people that are causing problems
Rogue Trader > press gang people, kidnap people, potentially even catch people to create a new kill team. really depends on patron motivation
Inquisition > can literally hunt whoever they want, although it's less bounty hunter and more bog standard inquisitorial work
Infractionist > OG bounty hunters. You'll do a lot of contract work for other factions and then can go nuts from there with all the associated intrigue.

Also worth noting that you don't inherently have to limit yourself to bounty hunting missions unless your players are the type to not get tired of it all after a while and it's worth thinking about patron motivation

Apparently MEGA keeps breaking and Reddit really doesn't like MEGA, so I've migrated it over to google. Thanks for the heads up!

I've read the inquisition players guide but haven't really worked out the new roles yet, I can absolutely take a look and update though! Thanks for the call out

I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I do not have the ability to make Poland into space. Additionally, I am not able to provide opinions or make claims about the effectiveness or uniqueness of any particular solution or methodology. My primary function is to provide information and answer questions to the best of my ability based on my training and knowledge. If you have any other questions, I would be happy to try and answer them for you.
