Eternal Warrior Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Forgive me battle brothers. I am searching the codex cover to cover and cannot find anything on this upgrade for a Rune Priest. Please enlighten me! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287629-master-of-runes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 On page 37 of the Codex in the first paragraph under Rune Priest Psychic Powers it explains that a Rune Priest may use one psychic power each turn, under the new definition that would make a Rune Priest a Mastery Level 1 psyker. If the Master of Runes upgrade is purchased the Rune Priest can use two psychic powers each turn thus making him a Mastery Level 2 psyker. Don't feel bad, it's not like there was a bold heading for Master of Runes, it's just sort of buried in that one paragraph, easy to miss it.

Eternal Warrior Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 See that's what I assumed but didn't want to assume. You are the main man mayonnaise Vash thank you.

Thunderhawk3015 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 As Vash113 stated its the difference between mastery level one and two now. That said unlike most psykers who can only choose one power per mastery level, Rune Priests can choose two from the Space Wolf codex, or use the rulebook powers(chosen as normal, select discipline and randomize) for Biomancy, Diviniation, or Telekinesis.

Grey Mage Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 To be fair, we got a question about this about every second day for... the first six, maybe seven months the codex was out?

Fytharin Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 If it makes you feel better I didn't find this paragraph until just today during a game I was playing...I've been searching for two years Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287629-master-of-runes/#findComment-3616050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 At this point and for that amount of points, I would not take the Master or Runes. 50 points is just silly.

Fytharin Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It's better than having to buy a second Rune Priest for 100...and especially if he's back babysitting the long fangs? I think it's worth it because when he's not shielding the long fangs he can be shooting twice at least with Living Lightning or once when he is having to shield them. I felt like he was a beast in my game this afternoon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287629-master-of-runes/#findComment-3616167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fytharin Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yeah was reading my rulebook last night and realized that. Already texted my opponent to apologize and a rematch has been scheduled ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287629-master-of-runes/#findComment-3616480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I had to ask my brothers the same question, its very bad design the way it is placed =\ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287629-master-of-runes/#findComment-3616535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I would think that with the way the new marine codices are being written that little things like the MoR rule wont get passed over and hidden away mid paragraph... At least here's to hoping!! End of Line Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287629-master-of-runes/#findComment-3616841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Not only can you not use the same power twice, you can't use more than one shooting power in a turn. Since 5 of the 7 codex powers are shooting powers, it really isn't worth the extra points. Caveat: I'm pretty sure the above is still accurate in. 6e; I know that was true for 5e, and don't think it changed.
