Release: Core Book 3.3

I’ve finished work on the latest update to the Dark Heresy for Genesys Core Rulebook, the 3.3 release. You can find it here; [LINK]

The changelog is located here, but here’s an overview of the big changes.

• The main focus of this update is to rebalance psychic powers. The goal was to make psychic attacks more satisfying, and make Perils of the Warp more common. This has involved a bunch of balance changes to psychic powers. In broad terms, the following changes have been made;
  • High Perils of the Warp results are significantly more likely to occur.
  • Pushing cannot add advantages to skill checks, and each time you push a power, +5 is added to the Perils of the Warp results.
  • Most Additional Effects for psychic attacks have been modified to not require advantages to trigger.
• Outside of this it’s mostly correcting typos and other minor issues, not much to write about.

Some of these psychic power changes may seem drastic but I’ve been field testing them in my own campaign for a while and they’ve been working well. It’s still pretty hard to make your head explode unless you’re being very reckless with pushing.
