    player avatars

    Help a Noob - bunch of rules questions (Update 2022 version)

    Ones I feel I can answer. 1.1 Yes new wound, new first aid roll. 2.1 I like 1 1m squares, but it can depend on the scale of the map. Just wing it if it's not. 2.2 Go with the sensible answer of you can only get the bonus for a sight if you're actually using it. 2.3 Pretty sure it's radius...

    Interpretation of Psiconics

    Hmmm some of these are contradicted by the current rules (Enhanced Str & Enhanced End)

    Insta-kill by Teleprojection and making the target naked (aka Fun with Zhodani Psionics)

    I've a different question about teleportation. There are effectively 3 different powers 1) Teleport naked - cost 2, target roll 8. 2) Teleport with clothes and small amount if equipment - cost 4, target roll 10. 3) Teleport with armour - cost 6, target roll 12.
