d uplicAted s kills And t Alents

It is important to note that many Career Paths starting

Skills and Talents are duplicated at Rank 1 of the

Career’s Advances. This is an intentional duplication,

and represents the training that is available to all

Careers regardless of their origins. Future expansions

for the Rogue Trader line may feature Alternate

Career Ranks or backgrounds with different starting

Skills, and therefore, this duplication serves a purpose

for the overall R ogue T RadeR line. If a character

already possesses such a Skill or Talent from Character

Generation, he may not purchase it again at Rank 1.

Missionary Advances (page 57-59): The Missionary

should be able to take the Talent Nerves of Steel at Rank 1

for a cost of 500 xp.

Psychic Technique (page 104): The description of Psychic

Technique should be changed to read: “Either through training or

natural development, the Explorer has learned an additional Psychic

Technique. Once this Talent has been selected, the Explorer must select

one new Psychic Technique in any Discipline he possesses that possesses

an xp cost equal to or lower than the xp cost of the Talent. Then, the

Explorer spends xp equal to the cost of the Technique selected (if

the Explorer cannot spend this xp for any reason, he may not select

this Talent). Note: this Talent is unique in that the Explorer will not

spend the xp cost listed in the Advance Tables of his Career in order to

purchase it, but the xp cost of the Technique itself. The xp cost listed

in the Advance Tables is provides solely to determine which Psychic

Techniques may be selected via that particular Talent.”

Seneschal Advances (page 65-67): The Seneschal’s

Rank 5 Advance of Common Lore (Administratum) should

CHAPTER 5: ARMOURY

Weapon Classes (page 114): The Class heading at the

bottom of the second paragraph reads: “Describes what

class the weapon is, either an exotic, melee, thrown, pistol,

consumes double the amount of ammo the RoF indicates.”

Autogun (page 118): In Table 5-4: Ranged Weapons, the

Autogun should have a reload time of “Full.”

s peciAl A bilities

Exceptional Leader (page 72): This sentence should be

added to the Rogue Trader Special Ability section: “The Rogue

Trader’s Exceptional Leader ability may be used once per Strategic

Turn in Space Combat, provided that they can both see and hear the

Rogue Trader. Typically, this means they must be in the same location

aboard the ship (such as the bridge).

“The Rogue Trader may not give himself the bonus from

Mars Melta Gun (page 118): In Table 5-4: Ranged

Weapons , the Mars Pattern Meltagun is listed as having a

the Medicae Test removes Damage as detailed above. Once

the Medicae Test is performed, the injuries are treated (for

better or worse) and cannot be treated with another First Aid

Test. They may be treated with an Extended Care Test.”

Photon Flash Grenade (page 126): The description for

this item should end with the following sentence: “Anyone

Electro Graft Use (page 91): In Table 4-1: Talents the

Prerequisite for Electro Graft Use should be Mechanicus Implants.

Virus Grenades (page 126): The entry for virus grenades

should include this addition. “The toxins from virus grenades are often

skin-transmitted and inhaled. Virus Grenades ignore armour. However,

at the GM’s discretion, fully sealed armour such as sealed storm-trooper

carapace with rebreathers or sealed power armour (or void suits) can allow

an individual to be immune to the effects of a virus grenade. Virus grenades

have no effect on targets with the Machine (3) Trait (or higher).”

r evised p sychic r ules

The revisions to the psychic rules in this errata are

designed to streamline, simplify, and improve the

current rules for Psychic Techniques. The corrections

also ix several potential issues with how some of the

Psychic Techniques work.

Knife Availability (page 131): The Knife Availability in Table

5-8: Melee Weapons should be changed to Abundant.

CHAPTER 6:

PSYCHIC POWERS

Overcharge Pack (134): This should be under

Ammunition on page 135.

Using Psychic Techniques (page 157): Under Table 6–1:

Psychic Strength , in the “Fettered” column, both entries

should be changed to: “Make a Focus Power Test, counting Psy

Rating as half normal. No chance to manifest Psychic Phenomena.” In

the “Sustaining Multiple Powers” column, both entries should

be changed to: “+10 to all rolls on the Psychic Phenomena Table,

decrease Psy Rating by 1 per power.”

Silencer (134): Under Upgrades , it lists “hunting rile.” Replace

this option with “long–las, needle rile, and needle pistol.”

Backpack Ammo Pack/Power Pack (page 135): The

description of the Backpack Ammo Pack/Power Pack should

be modiied to say that the pack can hold 80 rounds of

ammunition for a Plasma weapon, Melta weapon, Hellgun

or Hellpistol, or 300 shots for any other Las weapon. The

Backpack Ammo Pack/Power Pack does not have the capacity

to power or carry ammo for Heavy Weapons, with the exception

of Heavy Stubbers, Heavy Bolters, and Heavy Flamers.

Focus Power (page 157): The entry under the Focus Power

header should be replaced with the following:

“Any use of a Psychic Technique requires a Focus Power Test. A

Focus Power Test is either a Characteristic Test (usually Willpower)

or a Skill Test (usually Psyniscience). To successfully activate the

Technique, the psyker must pass the Focus Power Test, rolling equal to

or under the Characteristic or Skill with a percentile dice in the same

fashion as any other Characteristic Test or Skill Test.

When making a Focus Power Test, the psyker adds +5 to his

Characteristic for each level of his effective Psy Rating. Note that a

psyker’s effective Psy Rating may be different from his normal Psy

Rating, depending on whether or not he is using the Technique at a

Fettered, Unfettered, or Push level, or if there are other effects in play.

At the Fettered level, the psyker counts his Psy Rating as half his

normal rating (rounding up) in all instances relating to the Technique

being activated. However, no matter what the results of the roll are, he

cannot manifest Psychic Phenomena.

At the Unfettered level, the psyker counts his Psy Rating as his

normal rating in all instances relating to the Technique being

activated. If he rolls doubles (11, 22, 33, etc) on his Focus Power

Test, he manifests Psychic Phenomena and must roll on the Psychic

Phenomena Table (see page 160).

At the Push level, the psyker counts his Psy Rating as his normal

rating +3 (in the case of a sanctioned psyker) or +4 (in the case of a

renegade psyker or sorcerer) in all instances relating to the Technique

being activated. The Psyker automatically manifests Psychic Phenomena,

and must roll on the Psychic Phenomena Table (see page 160) adding

+5 for each +1 Psy Rating used when activating the technique.

If the Focus Power Test is an Opposed Test, the Psyker must

successfully pass the Test and gain more successes than at least one of

his opponents to activate the Technique.

If a psyker is using a Technique at the Unfettered Level, and he

fails the Focus Power Test but still rolls doubles, he still generates

Psychic Phenomena. A result of 91 or higher on the Focus Power

Test always fails.”

Light Power Armour and Power Armour Availability

(page 138): The Availability for Light Power Armour and

Power Armour in Table 5-12: Armour should be changed

to Extremely Rare.

Medikit (Advanced) (page 142): The inal sentence in

the item description reads “This item grants a +20 bonus to

Medicae Skill Tests and can be used even if the user does not

have the Skill.” It should instead read “This item grants a +20

bonus to Medicae Skill Tests and the user may treat Medicae

as a Basic Skill if he lacks training in that Skill.”

Arms Coffer (page 143): The Arms Coffer has enough

room for two Basic weapons or four Pistol weapons (or

one Basic weapon and up to two Pistol weapons). In

addition, there is enough room for up to four clips of

Basic weapon ammunition, or eight clips of Pistol weapon

ammunition (or any combination thereof, where one clip

of Basic weapon ammunition takes up the space of two

clips of Pistol weapon ammunition).

Navis Prima (page 146): This item should grant its bonuses

to both Navigation (Stellar) and Navigation (Warp) Tests.

t elepAthic c onnection

Many of the powers in this section allow the psyker to establish a “telepathic connection” with a target. The telepathic

connection is a variant on the “Thought Sending” technique. However, where Thought Sending only allows a psyker to

broadcast, a telepathic connection allows the psyker to engage in back-and-forth communications, even if the target is

a non-psyker. The abilities of this telepathic connection depend on the effective Psy Rating used to establish it (these

levels are the same as those under Thought Sending):

• Psy Rating 1-2: Psyker and target(s) can send and receive verbal communications only.

• Psy Rating 3-4: Psyker and target(s) can send and receive blurry, black and white images.

• Psy Rating 5-6: Psyker and target(s) can send and receive clear colour images, accompanied by other sensory input.

• Psy Rating 7+: The psyker (not targets) sends so powerfully he sounds like he is shouting.

Certain powers allow a psyker to establish a “Fettered or Unfettered Strength” telepathic connection. This refers to

the actual Psy Rating of the psyker if he was operating at Fettered or Unfettered Strength, not the effective Psy Rating

the psyker actually used to manifest the technique (which could be different). For example, a psyker with Psy Rating 3

who established a “Fettered Strength telepathic connection” would create a telepathic connection that always operated

at Psy Rating 2 (verbal communications only), even if the psyker Pushed (manifested the power at +3 Psy Rating) to

establish the connection in the irst place.

Unique Fate Point Bonus (page 159): The following box

should be added to page 159:

Mind Probe (page 164): This sentence should be added to

the entry: “Although a successful Mind Probe takes ive Rounds to

complete, it only requires a single Focus Power Test. Failing the Focus

Power Test (or losing, as it is an Opposed Test) only takes one Round

for the psyker manifesting the power.”

t he p ower of f Ate

Astropath Trancendents are blessed by being soul-bound

to the God-Emperor of Mankind. Among other beneits,

this allows them to spend Fate Points in a manner unique

to their class. When making a Focus Power Test, an

Astropath may spend one Fate Point to add +1 to his

effective Psy Rating for that Test. An Astropath may only

spend 1 Fate Point in this manner per Focus Power Test.

Psychic Scream (page 164): Change the description of this

power to the following: “By focusing all of his will behind one

massive psychic scream, the psyker can injure or stun an opponent out to

a range of 5m x Psy Rating. If the psyker succeeds on his Focus Power

Test, he deals 1d10 Impact Damage +1 additional Damage per point

of effective Psy Rating. This attack ignores Armour. The target must

pass a Toughness Test with a penalty equal to 5 x the psyker’s effective

Psy Rating, or be Stunned for one Round, plus a number of additional

Rounds equal to his Degrees of Failure.”

Dominate (page 165): The following sentence should be

added to the end of the Technique’s description: “The psyker

may maintain this power for a maximum number of rounds equal to his

effective Psy Rating.”

Astropathic Relay (page 159): The maximum bonus psy

rating for an astropathic choir should be +10, rather than +5.

Discipline Mastery (page 159): The Basic Technique for a

Discipline does count towards the number of powers required

to acquire Discipline Mastery.

Puppet Master (page 166): This Technique’s xp cost

should be “500” not “300.” This should also be relected in

Table 6–7: Telepathic Domination Techniques .

Basic Technique: Thought Sending (page 162): The range of

this Technique should change to 10 metres x Psy Rating, instead

of 1 km x Psy Rating. In addition, all instances of the phrase

“or receiving” in the power’s description should be deleted—

in effect the power only allows the character to send messages

(although the character could receive them from another psyker

with this or another telepathic ability).

Divination Imperial Tarot Techniques (page 168): In

Table 6-9: Divination Imperial Tarot Techniques , the

Focus Power Tests should be listed as follows:

Psycholocation: Psyniscience

Foreshadow: Willpower

In Harm’s Way: Willpower

Augury: Psyniscience

Psychometry: Psyniscience

Divining the Future: Psyniscience

Walking the Path: Psyniscience

Blessed by the Emperor: Psyniscience

Telepathic Connection (page 159): The Telepathic

Connection sidebar at the top of this page should be added

to page 162.

Mind’s Eye (page 163): In Table 6-4: Telepathic

Communication Techniques , Mind’s Eye should have a

Focus Time of “Half Action,” “Yes” in the Sustain column, and

“Willpower” in the Focus Power Test column. In the Technique’s

entry on that page, its Focus Power Test should read: “Willpower.”

Blessed by the Emperor (page 169): Replace

the sentence “If successful, the psyker gains a +20

bonus to all Weapon Skill and Ballistic Skill Tests,

and Ballistic Skill Tests against him are at a
