Question:
How does the 1D psycher power rating scale compare against an inquisitor statline?
For example, how much WP would an Eta-level psycker have? How many powers would they have? And so on.
The reason I ask is that there seems not to be anything of sorts about, and wished to apply such a designation to my warband's resident psycker (http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=998.0 (http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=998.0)) in the fiction I'm writing for them.
Erm... It's hard to say. The Inquisitor system doesn't represent psychic potential very well. After all, Wp is a measure of control - not necessarily power. Number of powers represents versatility.
I'd say power potential probably comes under the powers you choose for the psyker. Choose formidable powers if they're supposed to be a powerful psyker, less so if they're not.
Ultimately, there is actually a lot to be said in favour of adapting the DH psychic system for Inquisitor.

However, in this case, I'd advise something like perhaps Eta or Theta level - your descriptions make me perceive her as less powerful than I think of Maya Avens (who is a Zeta level, although towards the high end of that). You said you've read War of Shadows, so you should have some idea of the power level I give Maya.
She's not quite as powerful on the tabletop as she is in fiction - she's reined in for the sake of the game - but I personally think a Zeta-level psyker should be bloody scary.
Of course, others might have different opinions of power levels, so I'll look and see where the general consensus ends up.
Yes, I was aiming around there in the power scales for Eleanor.
Do you think it would be a worthwhile pet project to classify the rulebook powers with a power level of some sort?
Just for reference, here's a cut and paste of the greek alphabet.
Α Alpha
Β Beta
Γ Gamma
Δ Delta
Ε Epsilon
Ζ Zeta
Η Eta
Θ Theta
Ι Iota [notable psychic abilities start here]
Κ Kappa
Λ Lambda
Μ Mu
Ν Nu
Ξ Xi
Ο Omicron [residual psychic energies start here]
Π Pi
Ρ Rho
Σ Sigma
Τ Tau
Υ Upsilon
Φ Phi
Χ Chi
Ψ Psi
Ω Omega [negative psychic energy]
Where do normal humans fit on this scale again? It was about Rho wasn't it?
Edit: Added a couple of descriptive levels based on some info I found.
