Psychic awakening issue

[kazetanade]

Wouldnt mind having better SitW - granted 18" range is good, but I find I can never really affect the critical spells unless I plan for it. The impact is also a little weak, which is fine for a general faction rule since not everyone has powerful casters, but I would like some way to buff it. SitW + Abominant is an example but hardly used due to how specific it is, and it would help us to really take advantage of the ability to deal damage to enemy psyker mechanisms we got.

Could make it -1 to cast table wide if any nids are on the table and -2 if you are within 18" as you get closer to the source that way it always has an impact (if you are facing psykers).

We did get that stratagem that makes any failed test deal d3 mortals within 12" of a synapse creature. If that only cost 1 CP and/or had it's range extended then I'd say it would instill 'fear' into enemy psykers making them afraid to reach into the warp.

A -1 for showing up, yes please. -2 if within SitW, then -3 for Abom would be basically yessssss.

The strategem for damage needs to be tied to SitW range at least, with a strategem to boost both Synapse and SitW range by 6". You then take a Flyrant and drop him near the enemy with Kronos WLT, that's the end for all psykers out there. This is how you dominate the psychic support.
