Yeah, again I wasn't really sure how inquisitors would go about selecting recruits, so I sort of just made something up. I'll try and remedy those things. Thanks for pointing them out! As far as the las-pistol goes, I was reading over the pieces and found that the only weapon I'd seen in the entire document thus far to have a negative modifier was the one I had selected. I had assumed it was just a typo, haha. I'll fix it now.

I proof-read each iteration of the Revised Armoury for funsies. I'm pretty sure the minus was intentional. :P

MarcoSkoll

No, there aren't a lot of negative modifiers on damage rolls in the RIA - but any unintentional ones that exist are hopefully outnumbered by the intentional ones!
Mistakes are more likely to be rules that I didn't think through enough, rather than typographical.
S.Sgt Silva Birgen: "Good evening, we're here from the Adeptus Defenestratus."
Captain L. Rollin: "Nonsense. Never heard of it."
Birgen: "Pick a window. I'll demonstrate".

Ah, ok. It's all good :)

Quick question: How does one go about becoming a "minor-null." I take it they don't actually have a pariah gene, and I'm trying to figure out if a non-null character could have a child who is a null to any extent.

Koval

As it's a mutation and/or recessive genetic trait (I'm given to understand GW flip-flop over this...), I'd say one would come about in the same way as other blanks, Untouchables et cetera. If we're using the Pariah Gene, then yes, they'd have it, but it just wouldn't manifest itself to any great extent. And yes, a perfectly normal couple can produce blank children (in much the same way as they could also produce psykers).

Rules wise, I'd go with the Imperceptible trait that I wrote into the Revised Psychic Powers rules, as I put that in to denote a low level of psychic blankness without turning a character into a full-blown Untouchable (whose rules, as you can see from the previous page, are a lot wordier). Quoting here for ease of reference:

QuoteImperceptible: The character is difficult to perceive or influence through psychic means. This has the following effects:
• Daemonic characters, and characters using Warp Sight, suffer a -30 penalty to Awareness tests made to detect the character by sight.
• The character may not be detected by means of the Detection or Warp Perception powers.
• Psykers using the Psi-Track power (or characters using a psi-tracker) must roll a D10 whenever they are used; on a 1, 2 or 3, they fail to detect the character, but the power (or psi-tracker) will otherwise work normally.
• Should the character need to make a test to resist a psychic power's effects, he may re-roll the test if it is failed.

Awesome, thank you very much! That's very helpful :).
