Adaptive Physiologies in Crusades

[nidnewbie]

I'm setting up for my first Crusade and seek the guidance of the Hive Mind about how many RP's need to be spent on adaptive physiologies. Since the first physiology is normally gained by forgoing a warlord trait I assume 1 RP would be spent like giving the warlord trait in the first place. Progeny of the hive costs 1 CP so I assume that's another RP. Should it cost a third RP to assign the second physiology?

Cheers!

I'd played it as assigning an adaptive physiology just took 1 RP. I'd also played it that I could assign more than two. Thoughts?

My Crusade group has agreed to allow it as many times as I'd like through the Specialist Reinforcements requisition. They have also agreed to allow it as many times in a list as I want. I'm not sure if the normal method of giving up a WLT works in the context of Crusade. Talk to your group, and settle on something until we get official word from GW.

I don't think the normal method works as you don't start with a free warlord trait in crusade. I think you have to use RP.

All crusade armies start with 5 RP.

You can add as many AP as you wish to a single model, its in the rule for actual ability. It also states and cp cost is its CP increase ie 2command points increases its crusade points by 2.

You start with a warlord, but not a trait unless it's a named character in which it has it's own.

I thought that the adaptive physiology rule still trumped not being able to stack more than one on a single unit. Will reread at some point to check.

The section under Requisition points specifically states there is no limit to the amount of requisitions that can be purchased, how much, or how many of each that can be, unless specifically stated (like warlord traits only for characters and only one).

My opponent and I agreed on 1 RP per physiology. For now we agreed to only 2 physiologies per Crusade Force and only one of each relic per Crusade Force. We'll probably have to revisit this issue as we accumulate relics. Thanks for the feedback!

SO would I then be able to have a Relic and a Adaptive Physiology on my Hive Tyrant?

Yes. You'd have to spend 2 RP. One for the relic one for the adaptive physiology.

SWEET DIGS. Do we still get Hive fleet traits like Leviathan or Kraken?

Yes, you choose what your hive fleet is for your crusade. Mine is a custom one called Monsuta, custom HF of +1 hit for monsters on charge/charged/hi and 1w/t.

So how do Weapon Enhancements work? FOr characters and monsters you can choose your Enhhancement, but for any other unit you have to roll randomly??

You can choose or roll for any of them. It's generally up to the campaign to determine which is which. A friend and I are doing roll 2x and pick one or pick any trait as long as it has a narrative moment.

Are your groups also playing that you can or cannot then apply a warlord trait? Whether you allow one or the other of Adaptive physiology or warlord trait on a Warlord or both? The rule as written in psychic awakening is that you forego warlord traits for adaptive physiologies right?
