Saiisil Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Ok so the rules regarding who can take the Scrolls is pretty darn clear, "Models with the Mark of Tzeentch only" and the effect of the Scrolls are pretty clear, each turn at risk of injury you gain a new random power if you choose to do so. Now here is the question, a non-psychic character can take the scrolls, does he now generate the appropriate Warp Charge required to cast the powers or is it a pointless buy?

Grey Mage Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Since neither the scrolls nor the mark give you any warp charges Id say its just pointless to take.

Saiisil Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Allow me to elaborate upon why I decided to present the question. Personally I am of the opinion that it is pointless to take and bares no effect for a non-psyker. However I question why if this is so did they decide to allow non-psykers to take this? Why not add a little wording in the final release of the book to make such a pointless buy possible by simply replacing the word Models with Psykers. I have noticed too that the Spell Familiar is also available to non-psykers.

Gentlemanloser Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Becuase intentional newbie/'dumb person' traps are bad design for an inclusive rulebook. Edit: Like Digital Weapon for a Brotherhood Champion. Left over old rule editor mistake? Or intentional player trap?

stephane4985 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I would vote for left over. Surely the codex must go through a lot of iteration before the final version and maybe at some point it was useful. But they change things around and forgot to remove it from some place. Just my guess. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267458-scrolls-of-magnus/#findComment-3258562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Left over idea or failed design, either way it doesnt matter- every gaming system has little oddities like this, and if we sit here and try to solve each one out well go crazy.
