Synaptic Ganglia

[turtletyrant]

I would like some clarification on the second paragraph of the synaptic ganglia biomorphology.

Each time a psychic power is manifested by a unit with this adaptation, increase the range of that psychic power by 3" (if that psychic power specifies multiple ranges, add 3" to the first range specified in that psychic power only).

On the example of The Horror psychic power; The Horror has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, select one enemy unit within Synaptic Link range of this PSYKER or one enemy unit within 24" of this Psyker. Until the start of your next..

Would this mean that you add 3" to the synaptic link range (would this even be possible?) or add it do the 24" range?

+3” to the 24” range.

Edit: Actually that is probably wrong, considering something like catalyst that doesn’t have a range other than synaptic link.

So I’d say you can measure 15” from a node in the synaptic link network (still measure synaptic link range between Synapse creatures at 12”).

I disagree: being in Synaptic Link range is a status which is itself based on several ranges and Keywords. This doesn't modify that.

While I find it kinda odd.. The wording indeed said first range mentioned. So +3 to within range of synaptic link sounds plausible indeed. So all nodes still need to be within 12" but the target can be 15" from final node sounds possible

I wouldn’t say it modifies Synaptic Link Range, as I agree that is not right and the reason for my first response. I’d say Synaptic Ganglia gives you an extra 3” to the overall Synaptic Link range not 3” to Synaptic Link range. Using the Codex diagrams as reference, that would give powers an extra 3” off the light red portions. However, if a synapse model wasn’t in Synaptic Link range, this boost wouldn’t make it part of the chain since we aren’t modifying actual Synaptic Link range.
