Tankred Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Sorry for the topic, had no better idea. So, how often can he cast, for example "the shrouding" per round? Please only hard facts. On which page in the codex/rulebook is the relevant rule? Thanks for you help guys :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247122-librarian-how-many-times/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswanick Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 A Psycher may cast a single power only once per turn, BRB, Pg.50. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247122-librarian-how-many-times/#findComment-2991652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankred Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Nope, that rule only states, that he can use only one shooting power per turn, it states nothing about a limitation of non-shooting powers. But thanks for your answer :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247122-librarian-how-many-times/#findComment-2991655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswanick Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Nope, last sentence of the last paragraph : "However, if he is allowed to fire more than one ranged weapon per turn, he can replace the firing of any of the weapons he is allowed to fire With a psychic shooting attack (but still cannot use the same power twice in a turn).", BRB, Pg.50 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247122-librarian-how-many-times/#findComment-2991657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Any librarian can only cast shrouding once per turn, as per the rulebook faq. Only psykers who have a special rule that let's them cast the same power multiple times can get round this (ahriman for example).

dswanick Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Wait, sorry, I think I just figured out which question you're actually asking... "Psykers can use one psychic power per player turn.", BRB, Pg.50 "Codex: Grey Knights uses Mastery levels, shown in brackets after the Psyker special rule, to determine how many psychic powers a character can use each turn. For each Mastery level a character has, he can use one psychic power per turn.", C:GK, Pg.21 "Q: Can a pysker attempt to cast the same psychic power more than once in a turn? (p50) A: No, unless the psychic power itself specifically allows it.", BRB FAQ The first quote gives you permission to use one psychic power. The second quote gives some models permission to use two psychic powers. Note: two psychic powers not one psychic power, twice. The third quote clarifies this.

JamesI Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The only Psyker in the game that is allowed to use the same power more than once a turn is Ahriman (specifically allowed in the CSM FAQ).

the jeske Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think the problem comes not from the how many powers can a GK psykers use , but from the fact that some psykers can use psychic powers in phases which technicly could mean they end up casting a psychic power twice in a single turn [where turn =both players phases].

Turn always means player turn not game turn, so a librarian coudl cast quickening every player turn if he wanted to.

He is almost a main stead in an Eldar army. For some reason people don't think they can run Eldar without a Farseer. And it doesn't help that Eldrad is hugely undercost for what he can do.

Abaddonshand Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 OP, this might seem like a silly question, but why would you want to cast shrouding more than once in a turn? You cast it the first time your opponent shoots at you and then it lasts until the start of your turn (well, end of his shooting phase in effect).

Tankred Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well, you might want to cast "the summoning" twice, for example . . . Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247122-librarian-how-many-times/#findComment-2992135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
