quick question about psychics

[thehorrorchord]

couldn't find this in the rule book. could a hive tyrant that is engaged in hand to hand combat cast a blessing like 'iron arm' on himself? i know witchfire spells cannot be done, due to the whole being in base to base you cannot shoot but i didn't see a clear explanation on whether or not you can cast a blessing on yourself (or malediction for that matter) if your in base to base.

also second question is does the regen biomorph stack with it will not die rule conferred by the endurance psychic power?

thanks!

[wisdomseyes1]

Yes to both.

It will not die happens at the end of your turn and will only ever regain 1 wound at a time, regen happens at the beginning and gives you dice for each wound lost.

Blessings don't have a restriction that I have seen either, and function exactly like catalyst (with the exception blessings happen before anything moves an catalyst happens at the beginning of the tervigans move)

[thehorrorchord]

thanks so much!

Yeah I also wondered if blessings/maledictions had such restrictions. Thanks for looking it up.

Another question regarding Psychic Powers:
If I have a unit of 3 Zoanthropes, and one of them cast endurance (on a friendly squad), can another use a malediction such as enfeeble on an enemy, and can the third shoot his lance attack (or Shriek) at a third target? I cannot find ANY restrictions on Blessings and Maledictions.

It would open up some possibilities with Zoans with mixed powers.

As far as I know yes because our faq explains that each zoanthrope is a independent psyker, which is why you test for each one. So because a psyker can choose to exchange its powers until they faq other I'd say you free to mix and match it up.

Does that mean that 'it will not die' gives you a wound back every turn with no roll? Sorry if that's a noob question, I don't have the rulebook.

[fragile]

At the end of the your turn, you roll d6 and on a 5+ you get a wound back.

[scorpio]

fragile thanks! That effectively makes anyone old one eye!

Thanks. I don't know how useful it will be, but I'm going to try a mixed Zoan unit. It will depend heavilly on what powers I roll for with the first zoan of the three.

No, there is a huge difference.

IWND, you roll 1 dice at the end of your turn and you get a woun back on a 5+. OOE's regen is at the beginning of your turn you roll one dice for every wound you have lost. So, 2 or 3 dice at a time. It happens at the beginning of your turn so it also applies opponents shooting where IWND factors your turn, making it worthless turn 1

Ah, my bad, though it is still a huge help without paying the points for regen.
